Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
We told you yesterday about the joint GWIC/NSW Police raid on the veterinary clinic of Dr Matt Kwong at the Richmond dog track. Since then more information has come to light. It appears that the operation was initially aimed at finding out how a bunch of dogs died, and who killed them with a poison […]
You are not going to believe this. I didn’t either at first. Teal Teal is a scam. No-one gets anything from it, except the staff at the charity. There is not a cent spent on research into gynaecological cancer, which is what the green drivers pants and the donations are supposed to be all about. […]
Our mail remains good. We wish J. Cremin all the best in his new career. As we said in the story, he is a worthy addition to the QRIC ranks. He’s a handy man with a hammer, nails and plates too.
Following the running of Race 6 a representation of riders approached the Stewards on the basis that track conditions and visibility had deteriorated such that in their view it presented a safety risk. Stewards determined that the appropriate decision was to postpone the remainder of the meeting given the ongoing inclement weather and deteriorating track […]
There is weird tendency in racing around the world to smash jockeys for using jiggers, and pretend that the trainers didn’t know. It happens everywhere, just like this one below Jockey Tomas Mejia receives 10-year suspension, $5,000 fine from stewards at New Jersey's Monmouth Park for possession of an electrical device in 7th race Sept.

Racing Victoria Stewards are informed just prior to the running of race 6 that Alligator Blood, who is due to run in the very next race, has arrived at the Sandown track displaying a skin irritation. We are not told what type of irritation or what caused it. We don’t know who told the Stewards […]
Trainer Frankie Stockdale is a recovering alcoholic. There is no cure for alcoholism. Abstinence is the only answer. Stockdale knows it better than anyone. Two weeks prior to Xmas in 1999 he jumped in his car at 3.30am after an all night and into the morning booze session and drove home, or tried to anyway. […]
Referee Grant Atkins allowed a blatant forward pass last night from Parramatta that resulted in the first try. It won the Eels the match. Grant Atkins father Graeme Atkins played for the Eels from 1975 to 1982, and again from 1985-1987. He is a life member of the Parramatta club. One of the boys. What […]
This article is from this month’s edition of Harness Xpress. If you changed the name from RIB or QRIC or Racing Victoria it would read the same. Therein of course lies the problem. Coppers running racing are not the answer. It’s not really their fault – you can’t turn a bulldog into a hound just […]
Good morning My name is Archie Butterfly and I author the racing website peterprofit.com As you are aware, I wrote the story about the deaths of the three Telfer trained/Stonewall Stud owned pacers that died on the track in the space of just months. I also wrote about a 4th incident involving a horse from the same […]
