Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
By John Lingard: letsgohorseracing.com.au QRIC Deputy Commissioner Kim Kelly has responded (from Saudi Arabia where he is a keynote speaker at the Asian Racing Conference) to criticism of the handling of an inquiry involving Kyle Wilson-Taylor and emanating from the Doomben meeting last Saturday. Here is Kim’ response: ‘THERE has been some commentary and opinions […]
Artists are notoriously hard to handle. Van Gogh was a madman who ended up in an asylum, but they knew how to let him paint. Da Vinci did what he wanted to, regardless of what he was told. So did Jackson Pollock, the painter of Blue Poles. And Hunter S Thompson, my favorite writer. No-one […]
There is nothing published about it, but we’re told that the QRIC have called jockey Kyle Wilson-Taylor in on Thursday to attend an inquiry into his ride at Doomben. Is so it’s bad timing, because KWT is off to Saudi Arabia this week to watch his girlfriend Angela Jones ride in the International Jockeys’ Challenge […]
The more you look at the interference that Kyle Wilson-Taylor caused in race 6 at Doomben yesterday, the worse it gets.

Ben Dorries calls the demise of the human rights violater funded World Jockey Series a win for the naysayers, cynics, and fault finders. In other words Dorries is saying the series was a good thing for racing, and those who didn’t support it are shunts. Go and tell the 57 low paid Bangladeshi workers […]
Does anyone really believe that J-Mac was trying on the favorite Samarelle in the 4th at Warwick Farm today? If so I suggest that you book yourself in for a psychological test. The winner was backed from near double figures into $3.70. It is easy to see why. This was a boatie. A sit and […]
Tarrant posted this after I wrote a story a few months back imploring his ‘friends’ to help get him off the gear. I’ve known plenty of glass pipe jockeys in my time, and understand how the chemical crap snaps their synapses and f**ks their brain, so I didn’t take it personally. Even if I had, […]
A picture sometimes tells a thousand words, just like this one of Luke Tarrant A year is a long time in the life of a jockey, a decade can be forever. Just ask Luke Tarrant. Ten year ago he was winning apprentice premierships and riding 57 winners in a season in town.64 rides since his […]
