Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
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.

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 […]
Fred Kersley is not generally regarded as an elite class jockey of the ilk of Williams, Zahra or Melham, but on the evidence of this virtuoso steer below that rating is very unfair. This ride was inch perfect. Kersley (in the Godolphin royal blue silks) was riding Simplicity, the $3.30 second favorite. It was one […]
Dale Evans wouldn’t have bet in Nic Me Some race via the account/s he was caught putting the 2ooo plus bets on with, otherwise his penalty would have started at a minimum 2 year DQ less any special circumstances discount applied. That’s not to say that he didn’t bet in that race via a third […]
