Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Far be it for me to question Queensland’s leading reinsman Peter ‘Noddy’ McMullen about his driving tactics in races, but please allow me the indulgence of doing so on this one occasion. My question relates to the race in replay above, and it is this. How far would the favorite Aardies Money have won race […]
Archie, An increased swabbing regime is wonderful as it gives the illusion of integrity. Something that has weighed on my mind for a long time though, particularly in the Gillard/Adams era; when was the last time a gallops horse rung the bell for bicarb from pre race swab?

The QLD Stewards are taking a close look at Dylan Turner’s ride on Bowrider in the Warwick Newmarket on the weekend. Is it any wonder why? Bowrider’s the horse in 2nd last place on the inside in the white sleeves as the replay rolls. It doesn’t look good from the side view. From the head […]

The Victorian Institute of Forensic […]
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? A barrier trial run at catch weights with a stone saddle, set of steel shoes, no gear worn, no betting, no prizemoney and no rules around running and handling […]
