Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Take a look at this will you? It’s a 2 horse workout at Murray Bridge. They’re not racing for sheep stations, or racing it all. But watch what Sam Payne (pictured at top) does. The maniac steers his horse across into Maggie Collett’s mount, and then he reaches over and forcibly grabs her whip and […]
Turn To Glory was the mediuum of a huge first-up plunge in race 2 at Albury on Monday, where punters came out of trees to back it from $12.00 into $3.50. It was the go of the day, and should have won by panels. W0uld have won panels. If jockey Jack Martin didn’t ride it […]
Labelling Tyler Leslight a transgender jockey is no different to him calling Wanderson D’Avila a black c**t. It’s just plain wrong. Yes Tyler made the the transition from the gender he was born as to the that his body and mind have always told him he truly is, but so what? That’s not what defines […]
It seems rather harsh asking this question given that the margin was only a pimple, but skilled jockeys know the difference between a walrus and a whisket, and Nathan Day’s no slug. It appeared to me that down the straight Day looked perfectly content to run second, and got somewhat of a shock when his […]
Cheyyna Marston’s tips are going so well that she can’t even afford to buy herself a blouse. Are there no depths to which this animal abusing former jockey won’t plunge? You’re an embarassment Barbie. Give it up.
Teenage jockey Billy Loughnane claimed a shock 80-1 victory on outsider Rashabar on day one at Royal Ascot. The 18-year-old landed his first win at the meeting in the Coventry Stakes by a nose from Electrolyte. “This is the best feeling in the world,” said Loughnane, who won in the green and blue colours of […]
In the quest to try and find a story during a drought we decided to take a look at the jockeys around the nation with the top metropolitan winning strike rates (10 wins or more). The search results threw up the usual suspects, with a couple of Territorians thrown in. Thanks to his 18 wins […]
Michael Poy was allegedly communicating with the punter who was paying him for information on which horses to back and which ones to lay using disappearing messages on the encrypted app Signal. That sounds like an excellent idea if you are fixing races by pulling horses up, because the last think you want to do […]
Most of us will remember Willie Wonka’s ever lasting gobstopper that he manufactured in the Chocolate Factory. The QRIC Stewards from the Home Hill meeting on the 28th of December last year obviously liked it, for they have adopted the approach when it comes to adjourned inquries. They never end. An inquiry was convened into […]
Its a pretty poor show of things when the Stewards allow an apprentice jockey to accept mounts without first cross-referencing their records to ensure that that the kid holds a license that permits them to do so. That seems to be what happened at Gayndah on the weekend when apprentice Ty Wheeler – who hadn’t […]
