Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
I haven’t the faintest idea what Jamie Kah is trying to achieve by tweeting this statement. She must have been taking advice from Chynna Marston. My focus is on my physical and mental health? I doubt that her physical health is improved any by drinking champagne and snorting coke. So by adding the mental health […]
Some comments and questions about the Jamie Kah thing. That’s definitely coke, unless Jamie is taking the piss. J.Kah – or someone with hands identical to her – was chopping up lines. We don’t know when the photo was taken – is it recent or old? Only a dickhead takes pictures of themselves in a […]
Josh Parr rode the favorite Cosmic Warrior in the last at Rosehill. Rode it deader than Elvis. Parr bounced it up into the air upon jumping. Then he took it back to near last when you couldn’t. You couldn’t ride wide around the turn either, not if you wanted to win. Parr rode the fave […]
Oh for the love of Pizza! Wiremu Pinn won 180 races in New Zealand including a Group 1. That Group 1 win was in the Otaki WFA Classic aboard Merv Butterworth’s grand but injury plagued galloper Marscapone, who at his two starts prior to the G1 win had run placing behind Levante, Entriviere and Roch […]
Race 3 at Barcaldine, 10th of June 2o23. The field gets to the 100m mark. And the screen goes blank. When the vision comes back on there are people running everywhere, and ambulances racing on to the track. The reason is because jockey Robbie Fraehr had taken a terrible fall 20 metres from home, has […]
This is race that is the immediate focus of attention of the Stewards investigating racing corruption. The horse that blew from $3.70 to $6.oo is Blistering, in the orange and white stripes, ridden by Lewis German. He is a crook, a thief, a cheat and a bum. The investigation is ongoing, but one thing is […]
JAPANESE-born jockey Yoko Ota is not a dreamer but she has spent half her life living in optimistic hope on a sometimes frightening roller coast ride in racing. The 35-year-old always wanted to be a jockey but her applications to join an apprentice school in Japan were twice turned down. She read of a Japanese apprentice jockey […]
We copped a bit of flack from racing people when we broke the story about Tommy Berry’s further undisclosed dealings with the Butcher (punter Zaid Miller), but we thought it was something that had to be told, because it involved things that affect punters, and that is who we write for here and in whose […]
In one of the most inane announcements ever made, Victorian Jockeys Association union boss Matt Hyland has declared that jockeys do not want 10 race cards in the city on a Saturday. The hoops are already burned out by the overly onerous Thursday night, Friday night, Saturday, Sunday schedule says Hyland, and a 10 race […]
Number 5 – Michael Dee – Snapper (Morphettville race 7) After watching this ride it’s very easy to see why Mickey Dee has been offered a contract in Hong Kong, for his steer here on Snapper was a gem. Dee took him back off the gate and put him to sleep under the cover, then […]
