Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
When Jamie Kah was just seventeen years old and riding in Adelaide a mate of mine told me to look out for this jockey, saying that she had the equal best posture and balance he’d seen in all his years of watching races, which was many. If all Kah’s successes over the years hadn’t already […]
How the hell did Rachel King manage to stay on Ozzmosis at the start of the Galaxy Handicap yesterday? It was a work of genius horsepersonship just like Jamie Kah’s. King could win a gold medal at the Olympics too. Ozzmosis – Correct weight was delayed while Stewards reviewed the start to establish whether Ozzmosis […]
The Shoe returns to scale after winning the 1958 Melbourne Cup on Baystone Sad news today that legendary Queensland Hall of Fame jockey Mel Schumacher passed away in his sleep on Friday morning. The Melbourne Cup winning jockey known far and wide as the Shoe had been living out in Charleville in recent years. He […]
Queensland jockey Dale Evans has lost his appeal against his 6 month suspension for placing more than 2000 bets through accounts with corporate bookies. Given Evans appalling track record of suspensions, disqualifications and criminal offences of fraud committed to get money for the punt that’s no great shock at all, because he got off very […]

Dan Ballard is best known as the king of the country, a Hall of Fame jockey who at age just 38 has won the bush riders premiership multiple times. He is also a bloke who puts a lot back into the sport through his involvement with the Mt Isa Turf Club over the years as […]
Warwick Satherley, the former Kiwi jockey who spent around 2 decades away from the pro track before returning to the saddle last year, has come back to riding with a bang. Satherley slaughtered them at Callaghan Park yesterday, kicking home 4 winners and a 2nd from just 6 rides and earning almost $4ooo for his […]
What the hell was Craig Williams thinking in his ride on Mr Brightside in the All Star Mile at Caulfield yesterday? His tactics were to say the least misguided, and to put it more bluntly just goddamn stupid. Pride of Jenni was always going to be Mr Brightside’s main danger. The market said it. The […]
Jockey Scott Sheargold has never been known for his intelligence, but even a brain dead moron knows not to accept three mounts in a single race, and only a self-centered clown would fail to inform the connections of the two horses that they didn’t want to ride that they weren’t available to fulfil their promised […]
Dan McGillivray has one of the worst careless riding records of any current jockey in Queensland. It’s so bad that I’ve given up counting the number of suspensions that McGillivray has received, or the amount of time that he has spent on the sidelines through suspension. This is the bloke we wrote about 2 months […]
