Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The Stewards have some concerns with Lacey Morrison’s ride on Injada in the last race at Cairns yesterday. It’s the horse in red and white behind the horse on the outside in the orange as the replay rolls. Morrison’s effort looked a bit ordinary on face value, but the horse also looked to be laying […]
Now that Michael Poy and his wicked co-conspirators time in the racing tribunals has ended with Poy’s 13-year disqualification from the game, it’s time for them to be criminally prosecuted. In Victoria, the Crimes Act 1958 (Vic) prohibits activity which may constitute match-fixing. These include: engaging in conduct that corrupts or would corrupt a betting outcome […]
Racing Victoria stewards wans the Victorian Racing Tribunal to disqualify the deeply corrupt jockey Michael Por for 20-years. As one who writes for the punter we say that it’s no-where near enough. Poy was the ringleader in the betting scandal involving himself, fellow rider Lewis German, and punter Noah Brasch. He was the one who […]
Humid started the short-priced $1.50 favorite in the 3rd race at the Gold Coast on Saturday. It went like a busted banana, beaten 7.5 lengths in running second last. The vet found nothing wrong with the horse. Rider Jai Williams disagreed. He told the Stewards that Humid had been kicked by another galloper when they […]
I know its a bit late to criticize a jockey’s ride last weekend, but I have been waiting for someone to say something about Josh Parr’s ride on Shezanalister in the last at Rosehill on Saturday and no-one has, so we will. Parr slaughtered Shezanalister. The Bjorn Baker trainer horse should have won by panels. […]
The QRIC were kind enough to contact us this morning to point out an error in the letter to the editor that we published this morning from Vance from Virginia about Adin Thompson’s suspension for blowing over 0.02 at the races not being recorded. A report was indeed published about the matter. It was a […]
Archie, On 16 February, chairman Brett Wright and a group of stewards conducted breath testing at the Toowoomba races. Jockey Adin Thompson had a discrepancy in a breath test and was stood down from riding on that day. An inquiry into the issue was convened and adjourned. Thompson returned to race riding after having had […]
The Stewards have some concerns with this ride by Andrew Mallyon on the favorite Rose of Mytrle in the 7th race at Doomben yesterday. Have a look at the replay and see if you can see why? Mallyon is in the maroon silks with white cap, on the fence. The Stewards are concerned in particular […]
Now call me stupid because many have, but I just don’t understand the Steward’s logic in imposing two suspensions on a jockey and then allowing them to serve both sets of time concurrently, meaning at the same time. The penalties handed down to rider Kyle Wilson-Taylor on the weekend provide the perfect example. KWT was […]
The official Stewards race day report has apprentice Jaimie-Lee replaced on her mounts in races 3 and 5 at Bundaberg yesterday because she was too heavy to be able to claim any of her 3 kilogram allowance. Given that the kid hasn’t been able to ride under 55kg all year its no surprise that she […]
