Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
About a year ago I had a spirited argument with Danny Nikolic about who was the best jockey in the world. I was adamant that is was J-Mac. Nik gave James McDonald full credit, and placed him 2nd. but was certain that Ryan Moore had the wood on him, and Dan being Dan wasn’t afraid […]
Gee this was a funny ride by Brodie Loy on the topweight Deep Romance in the 3rd race at Doomben yesterday. He is the one in the black and white sitting out the back in 2nd place for most or the race. The horse – who is well in the market – starts to improve […]
I woke up this morning still feeling sick about the five leg multi I lost yesterday in the last Sydney when Tycoon Evie got robbed on a certain win by Zac Lloyd’s mount Jump The Broom went sideways and cleaned her up just as she was about to surge to the lead at the 50m […]
Angela Jones is one of the better apprentices in Brisbane, as her past twelve months stats of almost 15% the win and 40% the place clearly shows. Which makes her ride on the beaten favorite Hilal in the 8th race at Eagle Farm yesterday all the harder to watch, and it gets worse every time […]
Why on earth would the NSW Stewards want to question Zac Lloyd about his steer on the winner Luvoir, when it was one of the greatest front running rides you’d ever see? The horse has always had huge ability, but has been ridden wrongly from behind for 2 years. Young Lloyd – or probably his […]
You have, I assume, heard racing term pulled their pants down? Well here is the perfect example. Alisha Donald pulled everyone’s pants down yesterday in the 4th race at Ipswich. It was just like Cyril on Vo, only 35 years later. Watch it in awe.
There were seven riders at the Mt Isa meeting on Saturday. All of them were sober, checked and correct. They should have put the race schedulers from Racing QLD on the bag instead. Despite knowing that only 7 jocks were likely to turn up to ride at the meeting, they programmed fields of 8, 9, […]
Add a zero or two I reckon Dr Harry from ancient Geebung was straight on the phone after the running of the Blue Diamond. “Blake Shinn just rode Steel City deaD” he screamed down the blower. “Fuck off! I’m at a wedding with free piss!” I shouted back at him, then hung up the line. […]
Just take a look at this will you? It’s a trial held on the Gold Coast polytrack on the 31st of January. Jockey Josh Adams is on the inside, rider Andrew Mallyon is on the outside. I’m not sure if Mallyon ran over Adams cat, or shagged his missus, or what, but just have a […]
Hey look, the bras have matching diamond infused sunnies. Wonder who paid for them? They tell me that the Tommy Berry and The Butcher appeals are on for the 1st of March. I also hear that there may be more surprises to come, although neither the punter, the jockey or the authorities know it yet. […]
