Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying

There have been some developments in the Ben Yole case. The mail is that the man we call Chainsaw was summoned to attend a meeting with Ray Murrihy this morning to answer questions about his relationship with his mate the now stood down grub of a dog trainer Anthony Bullock. In particular we are told […]
New Zealand trainer Graeme Telfer’s stables were raided by Stewards employed by the Racing Integrity Board. They discovered in his possession a galvanised steel pipe with a portion of barbed wire coiled around a section of the pipe and secured by electrical tape, with a short leather strap attached to the opposite end. It was […]

After trying twice to get to the lead and give him a sit, Lleyton Green has realised that Blake Hughes on Baker Creek is either a lunatic or driving a drugged up horse or both, and has resigned himself to a trip spent in the breeze. Green takes hold of Pikarso, and when he does […]
