Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
COLOURS OF AUTUM – Jockey L. Morrison pleaded guilty to a charge under AR 132(5) in that she used her whip in an excessive manner striking the horse 7 times prior the 100 metres and 18 times in totality. Jockey Morrison’s license to ride in races was suspended for a period of 7 days to […]
Oh dear. Lacey’s lucky day has turned to disaster. Yesterday the Stewards Report for race 4 at Cairns made no mention about Lacey Morrison’s excessive whip use. Now, presumably after reading the unofficial Stewards Report – our story – and having seen the incontrovertible proof of jockey Morrison’s whip rule breach, the Stewards Report has […]
A funny incident occurred in the 4th race at the Gold Coast on Saturday. The whips of jockeys Anthony Allen (in the blue and white) and Danny Peisley (in the red and white) became entangled. Allen ended up with both whips. Jockey A. Allen is not a strong rider with the persuader in the right […]
Jockey Lacey Morrison (pictured) has had more fines and suspensions for whip rule breaches over the past 12 months than the average rider, so it is fair to say that she is somewhat fortunate that the Stewards at yesterday’s Cairns TAB meeting were half asleep at the wheel. Lacey struck her mount in race 4 […]
You don’t see this every day do you? A jockey being suspended for careless riding in a trial. I can’t remember the last time I read about one happening. Until now. —————————– SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT Sunshine Coast Barrier Trials Tuesday 11 November 2025 Trial 7 Following the running of this Trial Stewards inquired into an incident […]

Reports just in are that jockey Amy Graham has copped a 4 month holiday for conduct bringing racing into disrepute over the cocaine snorting video that recently came to light. We are told that apprentice Sophie Wilcox has been given a 3 month spell for lying to the Stewards over the matter/. Jockey Casey Waddell […]
Young rider Tyler Leslight fell from his mount about 200 meters after the start of race 2 at Cooktown on Saturday afternoon. You can’t actually see the fall because it happens behind a big blue post that obscures vision from the single camera provided by Regional Cast, but it appeared that Leslight’s mount may have […]
It appears that we got the detail of jockey Corey Bayliss legal troubles slightly wrong in our earlier story. Bayliss has not been charged with breaching a Domestic Violence Order as we stated in the story. The latest information that has come to light is that he has been charged with an alleged domestic violence […]
Ben Melham got put upon in a most unlikely manner by Chad Schofield in the Champions Mile yesterday at Flemington. First time was at the 1400m when Schofield found himself stuck out 3-wide on Ceolwulf (in the green and gold striped cap) and decided that he wanted in. The only problem was that Melham on […]
