Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
A few weeks ago we wrote a story questioning the QLD Stewards approach to allowing riders who incur multiple careless riding penalties to serve their penalties at the same time (concurrently) rather than serving their suspensions one after the other (cumulatively). In the story – which was about Kyle Wilson-Taylor being allowed to serve two […]
There was a fall in race 6 at Townsville yesterday in which Lacey Morrison fell and injured her ankle., ruling her out for the rest of the card. Lacey was otherwise okay. The Stewards inquired into the fall and found that no rider/s were to blame for L. Morrison going down. We’d love to agree […]
The Stewards wanted jockey Amanda Thomson to explain her ride on Redavni in the second at Innisfail yesterday, in particular her lack of vigor in the straight. I think anyone who watches the race does. Take a look at it, and keep your eye on the horse in pink at the tail of the field. […]
Written Scandal looked well-weighted in the fifth race at Canterbury, with the last start winner to carry only 59kg in the BM64 after apprentice Braith Nock’s two kilogram claim. Punters like Kingsley Bartholomew certainly thought so, for they backed the horse from $4.80 into $2.60 at the jump. There was something none of them knew […]
Barcaldine Trainer Toni Schofield combined with veteran jockey Jason Missen to land a double at the birthplace of the modern Labor Party and home of the Tree of Knowledge. The duo also teamed up to finish a pair of seconds on the five race card. Single Honour – who was trained at various times by […]
Lacey Morrison copped a weeks suspension for failing to ride her mount out to the finish line. It’s NOT the leader in the dark green colors as the film rolls, as we wrote in an earlier edition of this story. Tyler Leslight was riding that horse, we have subsequently been corrected. The jockeys actions did […]
As we have written several times recently there appears to be an infectious disease sweeping the QLD racing ranks that is making people turn to (alleged) crime and landing them in court before a Magistrate or Judge. Sunshine Coast based rider Morgan Butler is yet the latest to catch the wicked virus. Butler appeared in […]
With three-quarters of the season gone and only three months left to run, we thought we’d have a look at how the various State premiership ladders are sitting around the nation. Here they are. NEW SOUTH WALES J-Mac has as usual a mortgage on the Sydney Metro title despite his frequent absences, with his 72 […]
Shoeless in race 6 at Werribee on Saturday was probably the biggest go of the day anywhere in the country. $14.00 into $3.50 it was backed. Someone forgot to tell its jockey Jackie Berriman however. Or maybe they did, I don’t know. There are only two things for sure. One is that J. Berriman didn’t […]
This is what the Victoria Racing Tribunal said about Michael Poy’s (pictured) claim that he received no financial reward for the 46 successful bets he relayed to professional punter Noah Brasch. In a word, bullshit. The bets were all Poy’s. —————————————- Charge 19 is based upon betting between 21 April 2022 and 31 August 2022. […]
