Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The Penrith paceway copped no more that 9 mm of rain prior to the scheduled time for the 1st race at the track last night, about a third of an inch. That’s not enough rain for force a meeting to be called off. But it was. The track was unsafe to race on. Penrith’s seven […]
Over the next couple of days we are going to publish a series of articles further questioning the integrity of the HRNSW Integrity Manager. What you are about to hear and learn is a disgrace. Watch this space.
Little known country NSW trainer Darren Egan has been disqualified for 2 years after pleading guilty to an array of sexual harassment offences perpetrated against 5 unnamed racing participants, presumably females. Egan, who has a 7% strike rate and hasn’t had a runner since July, was convicted of 5 racing rule charges related to his […]
Every person and their dog have come forward to give their opinion on the proposal to sell the Rosehill track so NSW can build 25 000 new houses, but the Big Dog of them all at Rosehill has been conspicuous by his silence. I refer of course to Chris Waller, NSW and Australia’s most successful […]

Starters are supposed to be impartial, and are not allowed to bet. This one in race 5 at Canberra obviously did. The 3 horse was backed from $7.00 into $2.oo, and started even shorter at $1.55 on the tote. It won. Listen to what the starter says as he lets them go. This is a […]
Sir Jason Grimson and royal page boy Turbo Trainor were notable absentees from last night’s Menangle meeting, with both presumably still on the other side of the ditch celebrating Swayzee’s victory in the Cup and drowning their sorrows about their foiled fix odds price stooge plunge on Akuta on Friday. In the trainers absence their […]
