Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
I am not quite sure what jockey Wiggins transport difficulties were that caused him to miss riding at the Cairns meeting yesterday. He can’t have broken down on the way, No jockey would be stupid enough to drive all the way from Brisbane to Cairns. Plus if your car broke down on the way to […]
This is Luke Tarrant’s address if you’re looking to drop him a line. It’s not a place that I’d like to be. Silly, silly man. He’s thrown away the chance to earn millions of dollars. Traded it for a glass piple. Ain’t meth grand?
Luke Nolen has nothing to complain about the 24 meeting suspension that he received for this piece of particular piece of madness at Pakenham on Thursday. He got off light. Imagine if his bad-tempered stupidity had caused a fall. He would have been sent out for a long spell then.
The 1993 Golden Slipper field was far from the best we’ve ever seen, but Mick Dittman’s ride on Bint Marscay from the outside barrier was. Those jockeys not old enough to remember L. Dittman should watch this ride and learn. He was a great rider Mick. Which you’d expect because he was a Queenslander. Bint […]
By John Lingard: letsgohorseracing.com.au QRIC Deputy Commissioner Kim Kelly has responded (from Saudi Arabia where he is a keynote speaker at the Asian Racing Conference) to criticism of the handling of an inquiry involving Kyle Wilson-Taylor and emanating from the Doomben meeting last Saturday. Here is Kim’ response: ‘THERE has been some commentary and opinions […]
Artists are notoriously hard to handle. Van Gogh was a madman who ended up in an asylum, but they knew how to let him paint. Da Vinci did what he wanted to, regardless of what he was told. So did Jackson Pollock, the painter of Blue Poles. And Hunter S Thompson, my favorite writer. No-one […]
There is nothing published about it, but we’re told that the QRIC have called jockey Kyle Wilson-Taylor in on Thursday to attend an inquiry into his ride at Doomben. Is so it’s bad timing, because KWT is off to Saudi Arabia this week to watch his girlfriend Angela Jones ride in the International Jockeys’ Challenge […]
The more you look at the interference that Kyle Wilson-Taylor caused in race 6 at Doomben yesterday, the worse it gets. KWT steered his horse out underneath the jockey outside him and cause a chain reaction that could have been catastrophic. There is no doubt in the world that he did it deliberately too. He […]
We are hearing disturbing rumors that a leading Brisbane rider has become a glass pipe jockey. That is, they have a problem with meth. An addiction being the problem. It’s a prick of a drug, the worst of the worst, one that can destroy you in just days or weeks. The rider in question has […]
Brisbane jockey Kyle Wilson-Taylor got into some sort of verbal fracas with fellow rider Jag Guthmann-Chester after race 3 at Doomben yesterday. We have no idea what is was about, because the Stewards Report doesn’t tell us (see story above). All that it is possible to glean is that KWT didn’t cop the blame. Then […]
