Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The racing integrity team turned out in force for yesterday’s Magic Millions meeting, with the cast list running to eight stewards (including the chief), 2 cadet stewards, a clerk of the scales, three judges, seven vets, six swab attendants and one starter, 28 QRIC officials in total. Sadly the 28 couldn’t run a race meeting […]
A racing fan named P. Ferrari wrote some scripts to see how buyers have performed from past Magic Millions sales. What you see above is the purchases for greater than $200k, arranged by the number of yearlings bought. Sale year 2020 was the cut off, they are now 5y/o’s and have had a decent crack […]

Racehorse owner Mike Crooks copped a lot of criticism in the early part of the season for running so many Mishani named horses so early and in the same races, all of it unjustified and the sledges bollocks. An owner has every right to name his horses whatever they wish, and good luck to them […]
Everyone’s favourite bankrupt convicted water thief during a drought Dean Baring, formerly a senior executive of the harness auction company Australian Pacing Gold, has seemingly branched out into the thoroughbred yearling world. Traxion Management Services, a company formerly co-directed by Baring and now directed by his wife because bankrupts can’t be company directors, is selling […]
Magic Millions website https://www.magicmillions.com.au/calendar/2024-tasmanian-yearling-sale/ I am not quite sure about this boast about the Tasmanian Yearling Sale made by the spruikers who are selling the horses. Of the top 20 sires in the country, this auction boasts no yearlings by I Am Invincible, So You Think, Snitzel, Written Tycoon, Shamus Award, Sebring, Zoustar, Tavistock, Toronado, […]
The world is narrow and ways are short, and our lives are dull and slow, For little is new where the crowds resort, and less where the wanderers go; Greater, or smaller, the same old things we see by the dull road-side — And tired of all is the spirit that sings of the days […]
If the field for the Magic Millions 2YO Classic holds up according to the order of entry, there will be just three Queensland trainers with runners in the race. Tony Gollan (Barbie’s Sister), Chris Munce (Poster Girl), and Les Ross (Mishani Aloha) are the only locals who qualified their horses for the big dance. It […]
The Wave is a WFA race this Saturday at the Gold Coast over 1800mfor 3 and 4-year-old gallopers. It is worth $250 000 in stakes. The winner also gets a wildcard entry into the $1 million Magic Millions Subzero race a week later. It’s also somewhat of a joke. The field for the race is […]
The terrible storms and the accompanying torrential downpours in South-East Queensland have hit the Gold Coast hard, with one local race lover and track watcher saying that the course proper at the Bundall track is deluged to the point that as at Monday afternoon the course proper would be about a Heavy 20 rating and […]
