Warwick the Wizard Kicks Home 4 Winners and a 2nd From 6 Rides at Rocky – And Trains His First Winner Too
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 […]
Craig Williams Should Be Sacked From the Ride on Mr Brightside
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 […]
Clowns Like Scott Sheargold Should Be Caned Hard
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 […]
Want to See the Perfect Ride? – Then Watch This
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 […]
Greg From Gundagai Wants to Know What Help the Industry Will Give Jockey Evans to Recover From His Gambling Addiction?
Will Queensland racing be offering any counselling to Dale Evans for his clearly apparent gambling addiction, now that he has been banned from riding due to his betting on races in Australia and more so overseas with online bookmakers? We all know that these days bookmakers are loathe to accept bets from punters that hold […]
Elton Asks the Question About How a Rider Was Allowed to Fail to Weigh In
Archie, Attached is an article written by racecaller/journalist Tony McMahon. It is checked and correct. Now I agree the responsibility to weigh in falls on the jockey. However, what were Stewards doing? The chairman of the meeting was 22yo Hayden Gillett. Gillett is still listed on the QRIC staff chart as a cadet (and was […]
The Huge Question is, Which Horse Did Dale Evans Back at Mackay?
Some cynics suggested that we were being harsh on jockey Dale Evans when we unloaded on him about his ride on Nic Some More at Mackay in December 2o23, and asserted that he rode the horse dead. That we were spot on was proven when the Stewards found him guilty of what we and later […]
