Samantha Collett is riding Hooks, the horse in the red and yellow glued to the fence. The race is race 3 at Ipswich on Friday. Hooks is the $4.49 second favorite. Collett sits up on her mount inside 50m from home. It clearly costs Hooks third place, no question at all. A $27 outsider runs […]
This bloke eased up a wee bit early didn’t he? Those who backed the horse have nominated its jockey for Idiot of the Year.
For the jockeys to stop work during the trials today to carry on this meeting, it is just so exceptionally disappointing … I just felt it showed very little care or understanding of the rest of the industry, we (trainers) are annoyed and disappointed at the situation which could have been handled outside of these […]

Watch the replay of race 3 at Grafton on Sunday. Keep your eyes on the horse on the inside in these colours and the one on its outside in these ones . See how they jostle in the straight? The finish is a close photo but the one in the red black and yellow flashes […]
If you’d backed the horse on the outside in the 5th at Mt Isa today like we did, you would have torn up your ticket when its rider Chloe Lowe lost her iron at the furlong pole (the 200m mark for the youngsters). Chloe Lowe didn’t let go. Somehow against all odds thank to her […]
