Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Tapentadol is a heavy duty painkiller, a synthetic form of heroin, which in itself is a synthetic type of morphine. Bob and Vinnie Knight’s success was born on morphine. Feel no pain, run pain free. Paul Tonkin had an excuse for horse throwing a positive swab to trace elements of the stuff. He had been […]
Greyhound Racing NSW have made some baffling decisions lately, headlined by their knockback of am ex-gratia $10 million compensation package when their lease on Wentworth Park expires next year. Today’s announcement that GRNSW has signed a contract with the company Jetpets Australia to delivers its International Pet Placement Program is another howler. https://www.thegreyhoundrecorder.com.au/news/jetpets-unveiled-as-grnsws-new-travel-partner/ The International […]
It’s a strange notice this one issued by Racing NSW. Are these people doggers or what? Are they the same person? We know that Terry Green is a drug addict, because back in 2018 he threw his sixth personal positive swab, and got outed for five years. Green’s time’s up, but with that sort of […]
Everyone with a vested interest want to blame Peter V’Landys for what they perceive to be the problem with NSW racing. They are the same people who keep sending their horses to be trained by Chris Waller. It’s not Waller’s fault either. Greed is. Racing has always been an indivualist’s game. A dog v dog, […]
This coming weekend’s Paleface Adios Stakes is named after the most popular pacer that Australia has ever known, a legend of the sport that I used to sit on my dad’s shoulders at the fence near the winning post and cheer when he came to town. The race named after him at Menangle is a […]

Constantina is a 9-year-old mare that coming into the 1st race at Newcastle on Friday night had raced 143 times and won 17 of them. The fastest of them was in 1.54.1. But that was before Super Seaton Grima got hold of the old girl. He did a couple of weeks ago. Last night Constantina […]
Have a look at this race at Tamworth this afternoon will you? The winner is an eight-year-old mare that had never won a race in faster time than 1.56.1 in six seasons of racing and 131 starts. Today she went 1.55.0. About 20 meters faster. Guess who owns her. Jason Grimson, his locked up mate […]
Aidos, the Greek goddess of humility (pictured above) In late 2025, I published a number of articles about an investigation relating to levamisole. In those articles, I made a number of statements which were critical of Mr Buckman, the CEO of Harness Racing NSW, and Mr Prentice, the Chief Integrity Officer of Harness Racing NSW. […]
Greyhound Racing NSW seem to be acting a bit silly by refusing the NSW State Government’s $10 million compensation offer when its lease on Wentworth Park expires next year. After all, what tenant in the world gets paid a 7 figure sum by their landlord when their tenancy agreement ends? Most people struggle just to […]
