Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
You wouldn’t talk to Jimmy like this would you Bob? Last week we presented you with Will Hulbert’s expletive laden rant about Andrew Mallyon that the trainer sent to stable owners after a race at Caloundra. This week we give you leading trainer Robert Heatcote’s spray to Mark Du Plessis after his ride on Stuttering […]
This one seems hard to believe, but at least three people who were at the track and heard it first hand just a couple of hours ago swear that it is absolutely true. As you will see in the video below, driver Tim Williams (black and white colours on the leaders back) has pushed off […]
As we showed you yesterday, New Zealand’s leading driver Blair Orange’s wilful disregard for the rules and for the safety of other participants in a pursuit of a $30 000 first prize directly resulted in the death of an innocent horse. Orange – who has driven 680 winners in the past 3 seasons – was […]
Poker players usually have something that gives them away when they draw the right card. For some its their pupils widening. Others bite their lip. Some touch their face, or tap their foot, or exhale. There are many types of signs, the trick is to spot them. Trot driver Pete McMullen has a give away […]
Watch the video above. Keep your eyes on this horse below. It’s driven by Blair Orange. Did you see it? Orange comes straight across in front of the horse on his inside in the green, when he had no right whatsoever to do so. There was no run there. Blair Orange forced it by slamming […]
The two judges at yesterday’s Gladstone meeting were the club President Dave Weinhert, and club committee man David Thomsen. Under the Rules of Racing race day judges are engaged and employed by Racing Queensland or the QRIC. Both are Government bodies, and as such must advertise all employment vacancies, even casual ones. There are reasons […]
The Gladstone race meeting in Queensland was a five race card carrying $61 500 in prizemoney, including QTIS bonuses. It should never have been held at all. The whole thing was a scam. Racing Queensland guidelines specify that a race has to have five acceptors to proceed. If it does not, then the race is […]
This is race 4 at Townsville on Thursday. See the horse coming through the barrier early? It is hard to miss isn’t it? People saw it as clear as day. Not the Stewards. They missed it completely. Five of them, and a starter, and an assistant starter, and a vet, and three barrier attendants. Eleven […]
Matt Tripp is regarded by some ignorant folk as a genius in the world of gambling. Maybe he is, I don’t know. The thing I do know is that Tripp’s business practices resemble those of the drug pusher who waits outside the rehab clinic ready to grab people as they walk out and offer them […]
The coat of arms of the Duchy of Cornwall Earlier this year Shartin’s part-owner Richard Poillucci of North Eastern, Massachusetts paid $500 000 to buy a 3-year-old South Island Kiwi pacer named Duke of Cornwall. John Curtin negotiated the deal, no doubt at a huge premium for himself. We’ve told you before about Curtin and […]
