Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Greyhound racing at Wentworth Park is gone, and I am sad. They were packed to the rafters last night to say goodbye, and it was amazing to see. But it reminded me of the funeral of that bloke you and most others never really had much time for alive, but turned out in droves to […]
The Victorian pacing Derby and Oaks finals are being contested at Melton this weekend, and after having suffered the odd experience of witnessing their counterparts in NSW being run over a mile it is great to see the Vics continuing to run the 3yo classics over 2760m like they should our opinion be. Call me […]
The final field for The Everest has been announced. It is going to be a great race. But they might as well engrave Ka Ying Rising’s name on the trophy now. Tempted is the only danger. The stars Jimmy and Jolie vie for third. The only real question is whether Ka Ying breaks the track […]
There was a protest 2nd v 1st in race 4 at Coonamble. Everyone I spoke to thought it would be upheld. It wasn’t, it was dismissed. What have you gotta do to get a protest upheld these days? Put the runner-up over the fence? ————————————————– Dundeel Flyer – Rider B. Loy was permitted to ride […]
Seaton Grima, who like most smart people is obviously an avid reader of peterprofit.com, has contacted us to set the record straight about the scratching of his seven runners at Menangle last night. The young man being so eloquent, we thought it best for you to hear it straight from the horses mouth, with a […]

It would seem remarkable if the Stewards visit and the scratching of the […]

They are not of course. But the likeness is uncanny. The pair could almost be twins. They say that everyone has a doppelganger somewhere in the world. They are […]
Is NSW the harshest state on offending in greyhound racing, or does it jus have the most cheats? We are not sure, but the number of licensees in the State currently serving periods of disqualification is staggering. 67 licensees – most of them trainer – are presently put out on DQ. That is more than […]
The latest newsletter to Australian Turf Club (ATC) members from administrator Morgan Kelly reveals that the cash strapped club spent $4 million in legal fees fighting Racing NSW’s moves to put it under Kelly’s control. Four million dollars for the lawyers! Only to lose. Is it any wonder that the ATC finds itself under administration […]
A new horse makes its debut for the Jason Grimson stable tonight. Serg Blanco is its name. Like most of the Grimson stable it is an older pacer who has been plenty of places before. At its past 4 starts Serg Blanco has: won an NR65 and up at Mildura finished 3rd in a race […]
