Well her old man might be running up the beach at the Gold Coast keeping his weight down and looking for used soft drink cans to cash in so he can earn the price of a packet of smokes while he serves out the tail end of his DQ for drunken after hours stupidity, but […]
“I have done a Chautauqua” – jockey Blaike McDougall, talking post race to the owner of Mr Avery Mr Avery was the $3.00 favorite to win the 5th race at Albury on Thursday. After they had gone 50 meters you could have got $151.00. At the 1000m mark $101.00. Coming to the turn $101.00. At […]
The jockey shortage in QLD that we have been banging on about for ages is really starting to bite. There were late scratchings everywhere last weekend due to a lack of riders. Racing QLD have never done a great deal to address the problem, and it has continued to do nothing by way of fuel […]
Captain Maverick, last in the lime green with black and white sleeves and black and white checked cap, was an outsider at $71.oo in race 5 at Eagle Farm on Saturday.

The rail is off at Randwick, especially as the track deteriorates. Any fool can see that. Craig Williams didn’t. This clown steered the favorite in the last Inkaruna to the inside. He might as well have slit its throat. Granted Inkaruna didn’t finish the race off well, and might have had an issue. But it […]
