Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
It’s pretty hard to argue with the Steward’s decision on the protest in the Mornington Guineas. Beau Mertens on the first past the post horse Sharp Response clearly came out on top of Ollie on Jungle Magnate. Mertens also looked to have deliberately used his elbows on Oliver, and to have intentionally smashed his rival’s […]
It appears that the controversial former NZ Racing Chief Steward transplanted to Tasmania Ross Neal is a leopard who takes his arrogant spots with him wherever he goes. The Tasmanian’s are calling him the Hangman, for it appears that whenever a licensee rings him with a tricky question, rather than answer it he simply hangs […]
What the hell is a VIT? How come one of them is on the Steward’s Panel? Why is that person Brad Tamer, the Head of Customer Experience at the QLD branch of the TAB, and its number 3 man? Isn’t having a bookie as a Steward somewhat more than a little bit off? And rather […]
The All-clear for the race was delayed to permit Stewards to review the Judge’s initial placings as it was their observation that KABAYO KING and ARCTIC PEGASUS had carried the incorrect numbers and had started from incorrect positions, although on the correct handicap mark. Having reviewed the official vision the Stewards satisfied that the identity […]
What you are seeing in the picture at the top is the start of the $100 000 Tasmania Cup run at Hobart on Saturday night. You would never know it looking at this, but there were actually 9 horses drawn on the front line mark from the stand. Why then is that horse in the […]
These clerical errors just keep on happening under Chief Steward (Darling Downs) Clayton ‘Crayons’ Warren’s watch. Yesterday we told you about the four mistakes at Toowoomba on Saturday night. Today we tell you about the two at Chinchilla on Monday, the very next meeting held in the district. Crayons has got the race to race […]
I doubt that we are going to very popular in South Australia at the moment, for since we published our story yesterday about the horses that ran under the wrong numbers at Globe Derby without the Stewards noticing, they have now noticed. The official Stewards comments on the race have been changed. Suddenly the trainers […]
Speaking of Alex ‘The Juice’ Ashwood, there he was in Tasmania on the weekend too, smack bang in the middle on another episode of the popular reality TV program ‘Circus Days – the Crisis in Australian Stewarding’. The Juice is the part-owner of a pacer named Tactile Sensation, one of many horses that he owns […]
It appears from the news filtering in that Nathan Day’s disqualification definitely relates to cash sums passed by the jockey to the Clerk of the Scales, former jockey Wally Welburn, and the track manager cum starter Trent Williams. The transactions were apparently caught on CCTV cameras that had recently been installed in the weigh in […]
See number 5 there? It’s not the horse that it supposed to be. The word is that South Australian police officers were at Globe Derby Park yesterday checking on the systems and checks and balance in regard to their ongoing investigation into the Shane Loone runners ring-in a couple of months ago. While the police […]
