Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Temora is one of the few towns in the world known for a trotter, or a pacer to be more correct. That pacer’s name was Paleface, Paleface Adios. He won 108 races across the length of the country, and was one of the greatest champions Australia had ever seen. The little town he came from […]
It’s not a real great look for racing when the easing 2nd favourite for a race carves up the heavily backed 3rd favourite in 3 early sub 11 second sectionals in a 1400m race and torches it, and then the 2nd fave’s stablemate powers home over the top to win the race is it? That’s […]
Our Cosmic Major – note the stable change It would have been a surprise to many not in the know to see Luke McCarthy back as the named trainer of the Cobbitty Equine Farm horses last night at Menangle, with the NSW premiership winning bowler Belinda McCarthy seemingly having retired from the main game.

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 […]

The announcement of the NSW government’s plan to acquire Rosehill racecourse and turn it into a new housing estate should come as no great surprise to anyone, nor should Peter V’Landys presumed role as the mastermind and architect of the track’s sell off plan. After all, it’s widely known that PVL is a pragmatist who […]
This is race 7 at Dubbo on Friday night. Watch the two horses in the Turnbull colours of red and blue. The horse one off the fence is driven by Jett Turnbull. His father Nathan is driving the one on its inside. Am I seeing things, or did Jett shift his horse off the track […]
Sir Jason Grimson has only been back in Sydney for less than a week, but it was plenty of time enough for him to pull off another of his famous miracles. Denis William hadn’t raced for a year and half since breaking down at Cranbourne in July 2022 when trained in Victoria by Simone Walker, […]
