Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Racing NSW confirmed yesterday that Neil Boyle, the Steward with a huge stain of alleged jigger use and drenching on his head, no longer works in that State. QRIC has confirmed that he doesn’t work here either. So where is? Playing with model trains. Boyle has got some sort of job working for Aurizon, the […]
The latest news out of Christchurch on Cup morning is somewhat shocking. They say the alleged kiddy-fiddling trainer-driver whose case will one day go trial is widely known to have been accused of a similar course of disgraceful action toward and against a stablehand as far back as 20 years ago. The accused pedo wasn’t […]
Well we were wrong about Neil Boyle being a Steward in QLD, but not by far, and we are not wrong about the rest. Boyle is now a Steward in Northern NSW. I bet PVL didn’t know that he used jiggers as a trainer when he appointed him. It gets worse. Since we published the […]
Just a day after we wrote about the case of the well-known NZ harness licensee accused of child abuse going to court next week, things have taken a probably not surprising new twist. Another victim has come forward and made a complaint about similar abuse by the licensee to police. This will obviously necessitate further […]
The mail we have had out of the west of QLD is that Chief Steward on the day Kim Daley’s conduct toward a young jockey at the races in Chinchilla on Saturday was just not on. The incident we are referring to occurred after race 4, which resulted in Apprentice Sariah Champkin being reprimanded for […]
We have written about former racing Steward Neil Boyle on a number of occasions. It is our view that after the incident involving him sending unwanted lewd texts and pictures to an apprentice jockey a couple of years ago – actions that saw him quietly walked out the door – he should never have been […]
The last time that I looked Brad Tamer, the former spokesperson for Australia’s largest corporate bookie Tabcorp, was the General Manager of Operations at QRIC, and earning more money than any pleb Steward in the joint. Now, just a few months later, here he is performing low-level Steward duties on the panel at Eagle Farm […]
It was only last week that we wrote about how driver Tim Williams was getting preferential treatment by the NZ Racing Integrity Board (RIB) stewards because his dad Brent Williams was a member of the RIB board, and by extension their boss, or one of them anyway. In that story we used the example of […]
Have a look at this race will you. In particular have a close look at the drive on the horse 3 back the fence in the black. Watch it closely over the last 100m, and keep one eye fixed firmly on the driver Rodney Laker. Why did Lakey do that? There can only be one […]
Ben Cleary is a wrong gee. The son of highly respected Queanbeyan trainer Frank Cleary of Clan O’Sullivan fame, and brother of equally well respected trainer Joe Cleary, is a seed that obviously fallen a long way from the tree, for he is a con-artist, a scammer, a fraudster, a thief, and just plain no […]
