Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
It was a day of some top jockeys making poor decisions at the Gold Coast. Jamie Kah’s ride in the first on Iowa should have been the giveaway. What possessed her to think that she could kick for home on the turn on a limited stayer like this and still hold them all off all […]
Tim Clark should study the replay of the 2nd last race at the Gold Coast over and over so he can watch Craig Williams brilliance writ large and learn how to shoot the gaps. Clark is a great front running rider, one of the best in the land, as he demonstrated on Vanquished in the […]
A lot of people are asking serious questi0ns about Blake Shinn’s ride on Propice in the 7th race at Seymour on Wednesday, the Victorian Stewards included. They have opened and then adjourned an inquiry into the ride, to give them time to review the betting sheets. That makes sense. Shinn’s ride doesn’t. Propice is trained […]
If Jackson Murphy didn’t ride Moreton Bay stone cold dead in the 2nd race on the TAB card at Home Hill on Thursday then I’m not here. It was a hook job of epic Dale Evans proportions. Moreton Bay blew from $2.35 out to $4.00, and wasn’t trying at all. Murphy put the handbrake on […]
If you ever want to see a beautiful ride then watch James McDonald’s steer on the winner Adefill in race 9 in Hong Kong yesterday. It’s the horse in the grey with the pink cap. You will never see a prettier horse ride in your life. It was sheer perfection. https://racing.hkjc.com/racing/english/showcase/showcase.asp
Remember Nic Me Some, the horse we told you last week that we reckoned jockey Dale Evans pulled up at Mackay? Well the same horse stepped out at the same track over the same distance today, got backed for a stack and won. Evans didn’t ride it. Funny that. Things aren’t looking real good for […]
As we tipped you last week, Damian Oliver’s farewell on the track may have ended perfectly, but the fallout with his manager had been mighty. The long-time relationship between Oliver and manager Neil Pinner has broken down spectacularly, with the cause of course being that old age demon – missing money. $2.5 million is the […]
The QRIC Stewards noticed Dale Evans ride in the 4th at Mackay too. They’ve opened an inquiry into the matter. Evans has got plenty of form. It will be interesting to see what they do.
Nic Me Some was heavily backed to win the 4th race at Mackay on Saturday. That was bad luck for those who backed it, because it’s jockey Dale Evans determinedly didn’t want it to win. I wonder who paid him to hook it? Harsh words you say? Then watch this and keep your eyes on […]
