Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Just six weeks after jockey Scott Sheargold had his license suspended for a fortnight after he stuffed owners and trainers around for the 2nd time in 8 weeks by accepting dual engagements for mounts, and despite his having claimed that he had implemented changes to his booking procedures to make sure it would never happen […]
Strike me pink. What an absolute garbage report this Stewards finding is. Carl Spry never attempted to put the horse into the race. A wide open run that you could have sailed an ocean liner through opened right in front of him down the running. Spry didn’t take it. He didn’t take any runs, or […]
Take a look at this ride by Carl Spry here on the $1.80 favorite Excite Choo will you? It’s the horse drawn the inside barrier with the purple silks, white star and blue cap. You can’t seriously try to tell me that Spry was trying to do anything other than get his mount beaten. The […]
JOCKEY Shane Scriven has been banned from riding for five months for stealing an apprentice’s whip during a race at Ipswich. Racing Queensland stewards initially banned Scriven for six months but took into account his guilty plea, remorse, outstanding race riding record and the fact he will find it difficult to return to race riding […]
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 […]
