Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Oh dear. Cody Collis has just before the finish line on the Waller horse in the last at Eagle Farm. It’s quite possibly cost it 3rd place. We will never know because Collis failed to ride it out. He did the very same thing at Eagle Farm about three months ago. Cody Collis Drops His […]
ECHUCA Liam Riordan (Brutal World) Pleaded guilty to a charge under the provisions of AR132(7)(a)(ii) for using his whip two times more than permitted prior to the 100m. Liam Riordan had his licence to ride in races suspended for a total of 7 race meetings, with the period to commence on 12 March 2025 and expire on […]
Jockey Justin Huxtable’s criminal charges continue to slowly wend their way through the courts, with the controversial rider (or his legal representatives) appearing again in the Cairns court yesterday for a mention of his matter. Let’s hope for all concerned – Huxtable, his alleged victim, and racing itself – that the law moves quicker to […]
Jockey Jason Maskiell has been suspended for 3 months over his poor excuse for a ride on My Schieller Wood at Seymour in November. It seems that Maskiell took our unsolicited advice to change his plea from not guilty to guilty, and in return the Stewards dropped the charge of not allowing the horse to […]
We don’t write a lot about Northern Territory racing, but given that we have been railing against jockeys that fail to fully ride their mounts out to the finish, and the fact that the latest example of it cost one of our readers a juicy First 4 on the weekend, we thought we would tell […]
Queensland jockey Nathan ‘Grubby’ Day set what is believed to be a new world record yesterday at Ladbrokes Cannon Park in Cairns. First Jockey Ever to be Suspended Three Times in Five Hundred Meters. It happened in race 5 where he was riding Spirit Meister in a Class 6 Plate over 950m. All the suspensions […]

HARROW (IRE) – Tightened for room near the 950 metres and forced inwards inside the line of the running rail and was restrained. Tightened […]
Tyler Leslight and Billy Johnson having a chuckle about how the kid gave Justin Stanley the old what for, and got away with it ILZOOMYA – Stewards questioned rider Tyler Leslight regarding his riding action rounding the final turn where his right elbow was extended immediately prior to SPIRIT OF GIVING improving to his inside. […]
Bailey Wheeler copped a 9 day suspension for his ride on the winner Ser Joh in the last at Doomben. He should consider himself very lucky. What Wheeler did was ownright dangerous. He came out right underneath Emily Lang’s mount Indaza, knocking it sideways into Jag Guthmann-Chester on Throwing Shade and causing interference to both […]
Wayne Hawkes reckons J-Mac went too early on Romantic Warrior in the Saudi Cup and got it beaten. “He slaughtered it!” Hawkes claims. It’s a fine line between genius and butcher. Who would have thought any horse could lift again like Forever Young did? But still it’s hard to disagree. It’s also hard to agree […]
