Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Jockey Lacey Morrison (pictured) has had more fines and suspensions for whip rule breaches over the past 12 months than the average rider, so it is fair to say that she is somewhat fortunate that the Stewards at yesterday’s Cairns TAB meeting were half asleep at the wheel. Lacey struck her mount in race 4 […]
You don’t see this every day do you? A jockey being suspended for careless riding in a trial. I can’t remember the last time I read about one happening. Until now. —————————– SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT Sunshine Coast Barrier Trials Tuesday 11 November 2025 Trial 7 Following the running of this Trial Stewards inquired into an incident […]
We hear a lot about humans being cruel to horses, but we don’t hear so much about horses being cruel to humans. They can be though, and at times are. Horses kick and buck and bite and stomp a person, and do so without a pang of regret. On Wednesday in the 6th at Doomben […]
Reports just in are that jockey Amy Graham has copped a 4 month holiday for conduct bringing racing into disrepute over the cocaine snorting video that recently came to light.

Young rider Tyler Leslight fell from his mount about 200 meters after the start of race 2 at Cooktown on Saturday afternoon.

Ben Melham got put upon in a most unlikely manner by Chad Schofield in the Champions Mile yesterday at Flemington. First time was at the 1400m when Schofield found himself stuck out 3-wide on Ceolwulf (in the green and gold striped cap) and decided that he wanted in. The only problem was that Melham on […]
The mail out of Roma Street is that two Queensland jockeys have fallen afoul of police in the past week, one of whom at least a person you would have hoped would be living life on the straight and narrow given their well publicized legal travails over the past year. We speak here of Justin […]
Former Tasmanian jockey Kyle Maskiell once had a promising career ahead of him. I don’t know quite what went wrong but it all fall apart. Maskiell hasn’t ridden now since 2022. Given that he is nodding his head to four criminal charges today (we don’t know exactly what they are) it seems unlikely we will […]
We wrote in our live coverage that Mitch Goring’s barrister Tim Ryan QC had done an excellent job for his client, and our judgement was spot on. Goring’s penalty has been altered to a 9-month suspension with the final 6 months of it suspended for a year, meaning he will only serve 3 months, most […]
