Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Some nice reading haha 9 years disqualification and 7.5 disqualification! Couldnât happen to a nicer person. That karma bus always catches up with you đ«Ł https://t.co/1eZFQLAuyg — Ryan Wiggins (@RyanWiggins1982) September 6, 2023 There is a reason for that. It may or may not concern his brother, the former jockey Taylor Lovelock-Wiggins. You can only […]
Well we picked Olentia as the lay of the day yesterday and it got beat, but the one we picked to win got beat too so we can hardly call it a success. You wouldn’t call Kerrin Mcevoy’s ride on the beaten favourite a success either. Far from it in fact. That ride was a […]
Frankie is every bit as good in his farewell year, and I reckon even better. It was his last Ebor Festival at York this week. Ebor is short for Eboracum, the Roman word for York. It means place of Ewe trees, just in case you’ve ever wondered. The Festival – which is really a carnival, […]
What on earth was jockey Adrian Layt thinking aboard Flash Aah in the Cairns Cup yesterday? He wasn’t is my guess, he just did what very average jockeys do, which is not think at all. Up until about the 500 metre mark Layt had ridden Flash perfectly. He’d planted himself on the hot fave Namazu’s […]
It’s a great story. What a shame it’s a load of crap. She is blaming Johnny Scorse for all her problems. All the poor bastard did was have and a roadie and a cigarette on the way home. We all feel hugely sorry for Chynna about what happened to her. It may well have been […]
Lacey Morrison was a leading apprentice as a kid, but like many other young jockeys – particularly females back in the dark old days, which were more recent that you think – she found it a bit tougher to secure the good mounts once her claim was gone, and then she had a baby, and […]
Good morning I have just read case RAP-34, a matter involving an appeal by the jockey Sariah Champkin against a penalty imposed by the Stewards. https://www.publications.qld.gov.au/ckan-publications-attachments-prod/resources/526f0b56-c1d4-49a3-b7ac-512ced3166dc/rap-34-decision.pdf?ETag=4e3c8e30e55c9a9a90b1f04be3783ffd In her submissions on penalty, Champkin told the Panel that she was in a parlous financial position due to earning $12 an hour as an apprentice jockey. This was […]
In March 1895, Goldsbrough Mort & Co employed the notorious Jack Watson to manage the station.[5] Watson had such a “bad name among the blacks” that the Aboriginal people used as cheap labour on the station had all run away. Even his own “blackboy” servant named Pompey had cleared out. When Watson later heard that Pompey had been killed, he […]

Everyone in the world knows that Zac Lloyd is brilliant, but he needs to pull his head in big time, before he puts someone down. How many suspensions has Z. Lloyd had now for careless riding? I’ve lost count, but it’s a lot. Yet still he continues on, riding in breach of the rules and […]
