Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Trainer Chantal Turpin had 4 runners in the 5 heats of ID23 last night, each of them driven by her husband Peter ‘Noddy’ McMullen. All 0f them pulled like wounded bulls. These horses don’t usually do that. So what the hell was going on? An inquiry into each of their perf0rmances needs t0 be instituted, […]
There is little doubt that Damian Sheales is the highest profile and, on sheer volume, most successful racing appeals practitioner south of the Murray River, and – as he showed yet again in winning Emma Stewart a stay of her disqualification on Friday – one of the reasons why is his ability to state the […]
The bigger they are, the s0fter they fall argument was not of course the only determining factor in Emma Stewart being granted a stay, or indeed the major one. That one was gifted to Stewart’s legal team as a free kick from the other side, that side being the HRV Stewards. You see despite us […]
The QRIC’s new ‘targeted swabbing’ regime is pure genius. Pre-race swab horses in only 4 of the 7 races at the main meeting on Sundays, and test the riders instead. Just like they did at the Sunshine Coast yesterday. You will be pleased to know that no jockey put on the bag was pissed. We […]

Tasmanian police officer aired ‘fatigue’ safety concerns with Tasracing boss following horse float crash, emails show A Tasmanian police officer who attended a serious crash that injured five harness racing employees and then wrote to the head of Tasracing with concerns was taken off the case after the racing boss spoke to a more senior […]
Ray Murrihy’s full and final report into allegations of race fixing and animal cruelty by the Ben Yole stable was handed in to the Tasmanian Racing Minister on Friday, although it is yet to be publicly released. Clearly making hay while the sun still shines, on the very same day at Burnie the brazen Chainsaw […]
Starters are supposed to be impartial, and are not allowed to bet. This one in race 5 at Canberra obviously did. The 3 horse was backed from $7.00 into $2.oo, and started even shorter at $1.55 on the tote. It won. Listen to what the starter says as he lets them go. This is a […]
