Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Top flight heavyweight Brisbane jockey Brad Stewart was forced to retire from the saddle earlier this year due to serious injuries that he had suffered in a freak accident in the tie up stalls, when a horse went crazy and somersaulted on top of him, breaking Stewart’s pelvis in 4 places. It was a terrible […]
Craig Williams has copped a bit of stick in recent months, particularly from the connections of Giga Kick who seemed to believe that the jockey should have been giving their horse a soft run first-up rather than trying his hardest to win. As a punter I vehemently disagree with that school of thought, and believe […]
The Culprit! #Griff pic.twitter.com/Xql1gIAfOF — Ben melham (@BMelham) October 16, 2023 Was the man on the ladder to blame for Griff ducking out near the line in the Caulfield Guineas and costing Ben Melham a 10 meeting suspension? Melham – who posted the picture on Twitter – certainly seems to think so, and it makes […]
Yesterday we published our doubts about Jaden Lloyd’s ride on Mission To Love in the 6th at Eagle Farm yesterday. Are We Being Handled Here? We’ve now got a video of the horse’s legs after the race that may explain the ride and the run. Sort of anyway. We accept that what you see is […]
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 […]
