Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Hedley Thomas is a good bloke, even if he does keep normal hours and gets annoyed by 2.00am texts and calls, claiming that he’s sleeping even though it’s only lunchtime. He is worse punter than me too, the thought of which always brightens me up at the end of a bad day. At least he’s […]
Watching the Champions Mile live on Saturday I thought that Declan Bates had pulled his rival’s pants down, and was cursing the others jocks to the clouds. Then I watched it on replay and checked the secs and realised that Jennie’s wasn’t just a lucky win, it was a run for the ages. The first […]
The Tenno Sho Autumn run over 200m is Japan’s best race for all comers, equal to the Tokyo Cup. Only top horses win it, superstars like TM Opera M who was the world’s highest earning horse ever at the time of his retirement in 2001; two-time Japanese horse of the year Symboli Kris S; the […]
Our man in the desert state of WA Pedro tipped us all into Romantic Warrior three weeks ago, and his judgement proved spot on. Pedro is the shy retiring type as a rule, but I reckon this tip gives him the right to rip off his shirt and flex the muscles. The question now is […]
He goes alright for a fat, lazy prick doing a law degree doesn’t he? See the soft looking young white kid in the picture? The flabby looking bloke? That’s my boy Noah Conlan, grandson of the former leading Brisbane rails bookie Hayden Flynn; son of the 2nd best looking bird in Far North Queensland, face of […]
In the early 1900’s an orphan from Western Australia named Wilhemena Smith, who had been born a man in a women’s body, travelled across the Nullarbor to Far North QLD where I live and became a jockey named Billy Smith. Billy was the first – and until a year or two ago the only – […]
For a long time now we have been telling you that Sam Kerr is as genius, a great Australian sportsperson beyond the pale and beyond compare. Sam is God, we said. And do you know what? She is too. https://peterprofit.com/?s=sam+kerr Whoever would have thought Australia would be so excited about a women’s soccer tournament? Whoever […]
A great mate of mine’s mum went to the great racecourse in the sky last night. Last weekend she backed a winner, a couple of them in fact. She backed a few during her lifetime. I remember back 40 years to a time when my mate’s mum was working two jobs, and sometimes three, to […]
We all thought Merv Butterworth was cactus. But we were wrong. The great man has kicked. Hallelujah! Who else was going to be a pain in the arse to Meg every day if Merv wasn’t around? He can’t remember any of us texting him to give our love and best wishes. I guess there is […]
The well known Victorian gallops and harness trainer Ian Forsyth passed away over the weekend. He was a real good bloke Ian, and will be sadly missed. With the greatest of respect that he is due, will it to people who knew him better to write Ian’s story, and I warmly invite anyone who knew […]
