Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The more you look at the interference that Kyle Wilson-Taylor caused in race 6 at Doomben yesterday, the worse it gets. KWT steered his horse out underneath the jockey outside him and cause a chain reaction that could have been catastrophic. There is no doubt in the world that he did it deliberately too. He […]
We are hearing disturbing rumors that a leading Brisbane rider has become a glass pipe jockey. That is, they have a problem with meth. An addiction being the problem. It’s a prick of a drug, the worst of the worst, one that can destroy you in just days or weeks. The rider in question has […]
Brisbane jockey Kyle Wilson-Taylor got into some sort of verbal fracas with fellow rider Jag Guthmann-Chester after race 3 at Doomben yesterday. We have no idea what is was about, because the Stewards Report doesn’t tell us (see story above). All that it is possible to glean is that KWT didn’t cop the blame. Then […]
Ben Dorries calls the demise of the human rights violater funded World Jockey Series a win for the naysayers, cynics, and fault finders. In other words Dorries is saying the series was a good thing for racing, and those who didn’t support it are shunts. Go and tell the 57 low paid Bangladeshi workers […]
Does anyone really believe that J-Mac was trying on the favorite Samarelle in the 4th at Warwick Farm today? If so I suggest that you book yourself in for a psychological test. The winner was backed from near double figures into $3.70. It is easy to see why. This was a boatie. A sit and […]
Tarrant posted this after I wrote a story a few months back imploring his ‘friends’ to help get him off the gear. I’ve known plenty of glass pipe jockeys in my time, and understand how the chemical crap snaps their synapses and f**ks their brain, so I didn’t take it personally. Even if I had, […]
A picture sometimes tells a thousand words, just like this one of Luke Tarrant A year is a long time in the life of a jockey, a decade can be forever. Just ask Luke Tarrant. Ten year ago he was winning apprentice premierships and riding 57 winners in a season in town.64 rides since his […]
I like Noel Callow, quite a lot. He is rogue for sure, and – at least in the past – clearly a racist. Or so it seems anyway, based on the evidence of his video recordings. Usually that would turn me off a bloke completely, for I have a brown brother, wife and daughters, and […]
The sad mail drifting through this morning is that former star jockey Luke Tarrant’s appearance in the Caloundra Magistrates Court yesterday was on multiple armed robbery charges, of course drug related. You could see that train wreck coming a mile away. We are told Tarrant has been refused bail. Poor little bugger. Let’s hope they […]
I may write a lot of stories about people, telling it like it is, but none of it is ever intentionally malicious, and at the end of the day I wish everyone well. Let he who without sin cast the first stone all that, and it’s certainly not me. I don’t write stories about lost […]
