Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Make what you will of Nash Rawiller’s ride on How Dare You in the 5th race at Canterbury last night. We’ve made ours and the Stewards have made theirs, and our opinions don’t align. This thing looked as dead as a maggot to us. The stipes don’t agree. What’s your view? RACE 5: Piccolo Me […]
A prominent Northern Rivers gallops trainer was arrested yesterday and charged with two counts of rape of a minor. In an eerie coincidence the man, who was formerly based in Queensland, is believed at one time to have trained horses for disgraced Albion Park CEO Scott Steele. His alleged victim was aged 13 and 14 […]
Goulburn trainer Anthony Warren was discovered to have four sealed syringes in his float at Canberra on Cup Day. Warren had only a single runner on the program, the $26 shot Wegotabetterhoffa in the last race.

Nothing sort of affairs with no particular interest to anybody except the connections of the runners.\ It wasn’t that long ago. Rewind to Rosehill on Derby Day in 2014. There were eight races on the card, […]
There was some weird stuff go on at the trots on Friday, that’s for sure. Let me tell you a bit about it. Race 3 – The Mangy, Flyblown Mare Dean Atkinson won with a mare called Kissed By A Rose, who was having her first start for his stable. She’d previously been owned by […]
The 10-year-old mare Zoemagic hadn’t won a race since January, and in her 26 starts since had managed to fill a place on just three occasions. With form like that then it came as somewhat of a surprise when she was heavily backed from $12.00 into $4.20 to win the first race at Tamworth yesterday. […]
