Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Two things happened yesterday that show up how differently racing jurisdictions deal with the same offence. Both involve cobalt. In Queensland thoroughbred race trainers Wil and Peter Hulbert presented a horse to race and win at Eagle Farm in late April with cobalt levels above the threshold in its system. Neither Hulbert was stood down […]
A fortnight ago we tipped you that barrister Tim Hale would become Chairman of the Australian Turf Clun and Caroline Searcy would be his deputy. We got the quinella. Hale and Searcy are now running the show. The ant-Rosehill sale brigade has won. So have Gai and Robbie Waterhouse. Robbie only had to wait 40 […]
Give the one time Caspar of Cabarita Beach directions to the nearest spray tan joint too while you’re at it ….. After almost two decades of having no bookies at the Albion Park trots except for the occasional appearance at carnival time by cherry picking NSW based bookmaker Ben Krahe, we now have World War […]
That’s how we feel about Mark Latham’s stinky kinky foecal fetishes too We told you many times during his demented attacks on PVL that Mark Latham was a shitman. If his ex-girlfriend is to believe he has proven us dead right. What sort of a bloke drops a turd on his girlfriend and then insists […]
At its final six starts before trainer Carl Edlridge transferred the 7yo pacer to Daniel Rowell to train, The Real Rocketman has been beaten 58m, 14om, 57m, 21m, 61m and 54m at third rate tracks in Goulburn, Canberra and Young. It’s career record was 63 starts for just 3 wins, the most recent of them […]

For those of you who were wondering how the hell Royal Supremacy turned around its recent form of 14th of 14 beaten 5.88 lengths at Scone then 11th of 14 beaten 11.8 lengths at Randwick to win the 6th race yesterday at the same track, the answer is simple. Ciaron Maher took off the Norton […]
$1.20 Tim Hale SC – Elected Director (pictured) Waterhouse man. Leading silk. Big wheel at the top end of town. Led the successful anti-sale campaign. Incumbent Vice-Chair. His time has come. We’re tipping him a cert. $4.10 David McGrath – Govt appointed Independent Director. So was rejected and just resigned Chairman Peter McGauran, and look […]
Harness Racing NSW have launched an inquiry into Ashleigh Delosa’s drive on the Michael Stanley trained runner Soho Majestic in the 3rd race at Menangle on Monday, and it’s easy to see why. Soho Majestic opened in betting as the long odds on $1.12 favorite but blew like a gale out to $2.25. Fellow Michael […]
