What the Hell Was This
It’s near impossible to explain leading South African rider Gavin Lerena’s actions here. What he does in just nuts. A long, long stint on the sidelines surely awaits.
Only in Queensland
Faith Elliott (pictured at top) is an apprentice jockey coach at Racing Queensland. She is also a trackwork rider licensed by the QLD Racing Integrity Commission (QRIC). Which is all kind of funny in a strange way. Funny hoo hoo, not funny ha ha. You see one aspect of Faith Elliott’s job is to set […]

Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick
Tasha Chambers was very, very lucky that the five Stewards on duty at Rockhampton yesterday were seemingly blind, for if they weren’t she would likely have found herself sitting on the sidelines for a while. Fellow jockey Chris Meehan might have been too. Chambers is on the horse in the purple and white with striped […]
Give Up Never Landed a Plunge at Randwick – Zac Lloyd Did

It usually doesn’t unless you are on a champion, and no-one ever accused O’Driscoll’s mount Ledecky’s Dream of being that. Ledecky’s Dream finished […]
Huxtable Back in Court
Justin Huxtable appeared in Cairns court today for a further mention of his criminal charge/s. No further information is available. Like all criminal matters, this case no doubt shall wander on through the system at its own pace.
Happy Birthday Pammy!
A little bird tells me today’s a special occasion for Mrs. Pamela O’Neill. Pam’s a pioneer for women, and a giant among men. I’m honored to call her my friend. Happy Birthday Pammy. Only seven more to go to catch Bradman.

McDonald Murders Purton in Honkers
Look at James McDonald give it to Zac Purton. There was no way he was ever going to get out of that pocket. J-Mac is not just the best jockey in the world, he’s the toughest too. Lesser riders would have been pushed aside by Purton, but not this bloke. If you ever needed an […]
