Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
When is the last time you saw a protest 4th v 1st upheld when the margin was over a length? When is the last time you saw a protest 4th v 1st upheld for interference between the 600m and 500m marks? When is the last time you ever saw any on this happen in a […]
Archie I am wondering if taking short cuts is allowed in harness racing? Loucasso as I counted it was well inside the pegs 8 times turning for home. The Stewards fined Seaton Grima $400 for contacting the maker pegs. If he is not well inside, instead of contacting them, then I need new glasses. Steven from […]

If a gallops jockey falls ill during a meeting and can’t fulfil their remaining rides. they are on most jurisdictions and circumstances required to provide a medical clearance from a doctor before being able to ride again. Fair enough too. If you or I are sick from work we have to hand in a medical […]
I don’t know what young trainer James Healy was thinking when he made the ill-fated decision to bring Tiffani Brooker down from the Sunshine Coast to ride Arabian Rose in the $2 million Group 2 The Invitation at Randwick yesterday, but I bet he regrets it. No disrespect to Brooker, who is a competent provincial […]
Jason Collett’s ride on the beaten $2.05 favorite Ciaron’s Star in the Brian Cowley at Randwick yesterday was the stuff of nightmares. A punter’s worst dream. Everything Collett did was wrong. First Ciaron’s Star missed the start by two lengths. His rider took him to the rail. Coming to the turn Collett had the choice […]
Jockey Reece Jones was thrown from his mount when returning to scale after race 2 at Scone on Friday, and hit the ground hard, banging his head. The on-course paramedics diagnosed the rider as displaying signs of concussion and stood him down from his remaining mounts for the day. If Jones rode in Victoria or […]
You only need watch the footage below of the recent fall at Bathurst to understand why the track has been temporarily shut down, and quite rightly so. The first horse that went down simply lost its legs out of nowhere, bringing the others down behind it. It’s a miracle that no jockey got killed. Racing […]
Afternoon Archie, I thought with the extra sky channels would help things out in NSW, but it’s actually got worse. On Saturday multiple times we had 2 venues that that should have been on Sky 1 that were both put on Sky 2 at the same time with only sound for one of them. Guess […]
Saturday’s stewards report for the Sydney Stakes (Race 6) said in part: Coal Crusher – Raced wide and without cover from the 700m. J. Melham (Marhoona) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under AR131(a) for permitting her mount to shift out from behind Charm Stone near the 300m when insufficiently clear of Coal Crusher resulting […]
