Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
There is a lot of ill-feeling floating around Queensland racing circles about Winxy Waller’s Queensland racing manager, a young regally bred son of a rich and influential funds manager named Fitton. The word is that this silver spoon fed fast tracked yuppie was contacted recently by a well-regarded and earnest jockey manager, who was simply […]
Look at Hugh Bowman’s ride on Outlandos in the 3rd race at Randwick today, and compare and contrast it to that of J-Mac on Delexo in the race immediately after. Diamonds and rocks. And trying and not. Tom Berry on the second horse here was trying too. Trying to cheat. But he proved ‘armless.
Listen closely. Oh dear. Mr Jockey, wash your mouth out with soap. Mr Editor, I will see you in my office.
A lot of people are asking a lot of questions about James McDonald’s ride on the $2.80 favourite Delexo in the fourth race at Randwick today. Sadly for punters, the NSW Stewards do not appear to be among them. They asked a cursory question, and took J-Mac’s answer as read. Not everyone does. What do […]
You could see rounding the turn in race 5 at Randwick that the heavily backed Bjorn Baker trained galloper Deel With Me had gone amiss. It was obvious. The horse changed action and started running like he was on three legs, and boring in toward the off side where he was obviously hurting. The only […]
There is never a good time to go to the big Pearly Gates race track in the sky, but it was sort of fitting that on a beautiful day when they were racing at Bowen and the sun was shining, local born legend of QLD and NSW country racing Danny Frahm took the big trip […]
We wrote yesterday about the outrageous decision in the case of leading SA jockey Jason Holder, who switched his dirty urine sample for one that was clean, deceived and lied to Stewards, and then finally threw a positive test result to banned substances when forced to do a second test. In a disgraceful decision that […]
Jason Holder Stewards concluded an inquiry into the circumstances relating to two urine samples provided by licensed jockey Jason Holder on Thursday 9 December 2021. Evidence was taken from Jason Holder and written submissions by third party professionals, relating to Jason Holder’s personal circumstances, were also considered. After considering the evidence Stewards charged Jason Holder […]
After watching the first race at the Sunshine Coast yesterday I turned to my punting mate and commented that the inside was off on this wet Soft 7 track. It wasn’t the observation of a genius, it was a simple fact that was plain for everyone in the world to see, and of course it […]
Last year’s South Australian jockey of the year Todd Pannell had an Australia Day to remember at Murray Bridge this afternoon, booting home four of the seven winners to score more than half the card. The hoop’s winners weren’t at long prices – $2.80, $1.60, $3.10, and $3.10 – but if you’d combined them in […]
