Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Mission of Love was backed off the map in race 6 at Eagle Farm yesterday, firming from $5 early into odds on. It went down. The question is did the punters get handled by the jockey Jaden Lloyd? It was a very strange ride indeed. Lloyd walked the horse out of the gates and took […]
I can't tell if he's genuine in the weekly criticism of riders, or it's piss taking. If it's the former, especially in this particular case…then he has zero idea and how he has a platform…staggering https://t.co/nLPJx1L8Pg — Adam Page (@Page1991Adam) October 10, 2023 John O’Neill lets rip at the rides of a few jockeys on […]
Golden Sixty’s regular ride Vincent Ho (pictured above) was given a 10 meeting suspension for supposedly sitting up at the finish on his mount in this race. It seemed tough. Ho is on the horse steaming up through the middle in the red and yellow colours. The Stewards found him guilty of failing to ride […]
I don’t quite agree with the critics of James Orman’s ride on Antino in the Sofitel at Flemington on Saturday. In fact I am not sure that I agree with them at all. Sure Antino had led and won at Eagle Farm 2 runs before, but that was in a weak Class 6 race in […]
Jamie Kah has had a Barry Crocker this weekend. Her mount Shaiyhar in Race 2 was the Slaughter of the day for mine. Kah’s decision to push forward on the favourite was the fatal error with the speed on and the breeze hitting him in the face. The horse was going up in distance and […]
"If Craig Williams is riding Giga Kick in the #TABEverest, I will dead-set swim to Argentina." 🇦🇷 Tune into The Trek To The Everest at 7.30pm AEST on Sky Thoroughbred Central. 👀 pic.twitter.com/C1jliiCfuv — SKY Racing (@SkyRacingAU) September 12, 2023 This is hard to believe, but I reckon Ben Dorries mail comes straight from the […]
That was…an interesting ride from J Kah on Rosetown Princess — Adam Page (@Page1991Adam) September 7, 2023 There is huge unrest around the place about the ride of Jamie Kah on the heavily backed $2.25 into $1.50 favourite in the 3rd race at Cranbourne yesterday, with some – not me – even going as far […]
Some nice reading haha 9 years disqualification and 7.5 disqualification! Couldn’t happen to a nicer person. That karma bus always catches up with you 🫣 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, […]
