Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
QLD jockey Corey Bayliss must have been kissed by a fairy. Last week Masa Abe was disqualified for 16-month after placing 50 bets on gall0ps races in breach of rule 115(a). It was Abe’s first offence. No early remission of any part of the disqualification was extended to him. Corey Bayliss was today found of […]
Archie, Gotta take a bit of deep dive into this…. 50 bets on races in Australia and international- plea of guilty- 3 months disqualified. Probably a bit heavy but small fish. Bets on races 3 races in which he rode…. Where were they? It’s not in the report. Were they are different days? If so, […]
QLD jockey Masa Abe hit the headlines earlier this week when he was disqualified for 16 months after pleading guilty to gambling offences in breach of the rules. The punting hoop threw the dice and appealed the sentence, applying also for a stay until his appeal was heard. Abe’s stay application was heard in super […]
I’ve lost count of how many times we’ve written about jockey Dan McGillivray being suspended, but here is yet another one to add to the list. Queensland’s most suspended rider was put out of action for another 8 days last Saturday at the Gold Coast after he breached the whip rule by striking his mount […]
Punters who backed Nordic Belle in the first race at Caulfield yesterday have plenty of cause for complaint about Blake Shinn’s ride in my view. The Stewards couldn’t find much wrong with the steer, but I can. Have a look and see what you think. Here it is from side on, with Shinn in the […]
Jockey Michael Murphy (in the red and white) was damn lucky his mount scraped into third place in this race at Dalby on Monday. If it hadn’t his fine for failing to ride it out to the finish line would have been a lot larger than the $200 he copped. Why do riders keep clocking […]
The QLD Stewards are taking a close look at Dylan Turner’s ride on Bowrider in the Warwick Newmarket on the weekend. Is it any wonder why? Bowrider’s the horse in 2nd last place on the inside in the white sleeves as the replay rolls. It doesn’t look good from the side view. From the head […]
Queensland Racing Integrity Commission Stewards concluded an inquiry into Jockey Dylan Turner’s riding of BOWRIDER in the Scott Ellis Memorial/ Ranbuild Warwick Newmarket Benchmark 70 Handicap 1200m at the Warwick Turf Club meeting on Saturday 12th October 2024. After taking initial evidence from jockey Turner following the race on the day, the matter was adjourned […]
There were only two races run at the Sunshine Coast yesterday before the weather called the meeting to a halt, but they were enough to showcase two lovely rides. Angela Jones put on a peach to win the first on I’m Heroic, a textbook classic. She sat, she steered out, she sprinted, she won. Perfect […]
If you had backed the favorite The Hairdresser in the 6th at Rocky yesterday you have very good reason to be throwing chairs and kicking in walls, for it sure was something beaten. First the fave misses the kick by a couple of lengths and lands out the back, and I have to say that […]
