Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
I am starting to think that Jamie Kah might be better off steering clear of her home town of Adelaide and staying in Melbourne, aren’t you? After all, she has ridden 5 winners from her last 15 mounts in Crown Casino town, at a strike rate of 33.3 percent, which is low flying. On the […]
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I feel compelled to ask the question again: have you ever seen a jockey in better form in your life than James Orman? Yesterday at the Gold Coast Orman the young 25-year-old hoop rode his third metro double in a row, and by winning the G3 […]
A month ago we wrote about Jimmy Orman being on fire, and not even our mock has been able to douse the flame, which is a shock because normally we stop trains. Orman has ridden fourteen winners in the twenty-four days since we published the article, including the first and last legs of the treble […]
Here is yet another protest decision that leave you scratching your head and thinking what the heck? It’s race 7 at Ipswich yesterday. Jaden Lloyd is riding the horse on the inside in the pink and grey. Ryan Maloney is three out in the light blue. Ben Thompson is in the middle in the blue […]
Apprentice Jade Doolan got her foot crushed against the stalls at the start of race 4. The Ambos had a look at it after the race and found that she’s suffered soft tissue damage, which usually means a badly sprained ankle. QRIC Stewards decreed that she couldn’t ride again until she had furnished them with […]
You wouldn’t talk to Jimmy like this would you Bob? Last week we presented you with Will Hulbert’s expletive laden rant about Andrew Mallyon that the trainer sent to stable owners after a race at Caloundra. This week we give you leading trainer Robert Heatcote’s spray to Mark Du Plessis after his ride on Stuttering […]
"Bizarre!" A daring ride from Campbell Rawiller results in victory aboard Plympton 😲@BalfourRyan pic.twitter.com/LaUBuzT9hX — Racing.com (@Racing) April 18, 2022 Many pundits including the caller reckon that Campbell Rawiller’s ride on Plympton at Oakbank yesterday was bizarre. I totally disagree. The rail at Oakbank has been off forever when the track is wet, because the […]
Work this one out if you can. It’s Chief Steward Chadwick getting tough. At all race meetings apprentice jockeys must claim their full allowance or ride at their minimum weight. Must means shall, as in you shall do this and if you don’t you can’t. But there is a get out clause. If the apprentice […]
Shannyn Stephan’s a bush jockey in Queensland. She likes tattoos too. Yesterday Shannyn was riding at Nanango, up in Joh Bjelke-Peterson country, and had the mount on a maiden gelding who’s not much good named Billirubin in the last race. I don’t think Billi and Shannon like each other much. He threw her off behind […]
You don’t have to be Einstein to work it out do you? Queensland is running 11 race meetings next Saturday, all bar two – Gatton and Toowoomba – all at times too close and tracks too far away to allow jockeys to ride at more than one. NSW has 6 meetings. Victoria has 4. Western […]
