Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Queensland Racing Integrity Commission (QRIC) Stewards today concluded an inquiry into Jockey Lacey Morrison’s riding of INJADA in the benchmark 60 Handicap 950 metres at Cairns on 10 April 2025. Evidence was taken soon after the race from Jockey Lacey Morrison and from the trainer of the gelding Mr Bodene Bailey. The inquiry was then […]
Do you remember the Irish jockey Philip Byrne who we told you about last week? The cheat who appeared to have jumped off his mount upon landing after clearing the second last hurdle in a race at Wexford? Well we have a new camera angle of the incident now, and its damning. You can clearly […]
Jockey Melissa Campbell was badly injured in a fall at Innisfail last December when her mount Ancient Style collapsed under her, and she and hasn’t ridden in a race since. One would have expected an inquiry into the reasons for Ancient Style’s collapse and Campbell’s corresponding fall would have been conducted as a matter of […]
You’d have to question the intelligence of some jockeys given their rides yesterday. In Brisbane it was obvious that you had to be in the middle of the track down the straight to win. So what do some riders do? Stay near the rail and try to slip up the inside. Morons. It was the […]

On the last Sunday in March jockeys Celine Gaudray and Ethan Brown, who are partners, spent the afternoon getting on the piss and punting on the trots and dogs at The Coopers Inn pub in town. They’re both pissed, and they are using Ethan Brown’s Sportsbet account to put their bets on through the app […]
On the 26th of May last year jockey Wanderson D’Avila suffered a fall at a race meeting in Mareeba. D’avila was transported to hospital to assess the injuries he suffered in the fall. The horse that he was riding had no such luxury of professional assessment and treatment for its injuries. It was euthanized then […]
“I’ll look after you”. That’s what jockey Rory Hutchings said to the Clerk of the Scales at Randwick yesterday, after the race day official pulled him up for attempting to weigh out without his safety vest so he could make the weight. “I’ll look after you”. There are only two ways that you could take […]
