Do you remember the story ‘Taking The Piss’ that we wrote a few weeks back about driver Jack Brown and the switched urine sample at Goulburn? Taking the Piss – Jacko Stooges the Stewards by Pulling the Old Switcheroo Well we didn’t name the fellow driver who provided Brown with a sample of their urine […]
RE: Your story about Tambo’s Justice You can’t honestly be serious calling for the stewards to query a performance off a barrier trial can you Archie?

Every race on Breeders Crown Finals night at Melton on Saturday was a Group 2 carrying prizemoney of between $50 000 – $100 000. You would expect HRV’s swabbing regime employed on such a program to be at least the same level of class, of preferably for it to be Group 1 standard. Instead it […]

Watch the horse on the outside here BEWARE THE FURY in the 2nd race at Globe Derby last Monday. See it get a flying start. After viewing start the Stewards and the Starter claimed to be satisfied that BEWARE THE FURY had not been going forward until the barrier had been released. Yeah right. All […]
