Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
As we keep saying, you always here it here first. The eyes don’t lie, even if people do. And the trot people of the Riverina rejoice. There will be food back in the drivers room before you can say Ben Johnson, Pride of Canada. The only thing we got wrong was Newcastle. The southerners made […]
Archie Well I’ve learnt something I did not know from your article highlighting that in NSW they get 2 per cent for all involved in the winning stable. What a great thing. Racing Victoria are whingers. There is an easy solution for them. Do what emperor Pete does. I applaud him. Gold Coast Greg
Racing Victoria remind me of the kid who packs his bat and ball up when you bowl him middle stump in a game of backyard cricket and runs home to mummy and says Mama those boys are mean. Or they would if it were not for one thing. We are not playing in the back […]
Check this one out. It’s the last race at Menangle on Tuesday. There are only two possible chances in the race. One of them is the $1.20 favorite in betting Peaceful, the other is Jewel Melody at $3.50. The next closes horse in the betting is at $34.00. Jewel Melody beats Peaceful by a half […]
Last week leading NSW greyhound trainer Allan Ivers – who is a damn fine trainer indeed – was thrown out of the sport for two years. His crimes? Scratching 3 dogs and copping a sling for the expenses, and putting a few bets on for a kid. If the former is a crime punishable by […]
Why on earth would the NSW Stewards want to question Zac Lloyd about his steer on the winner Luvoir, when it was one of the greatest front running rides you’d ever see? The horse has always had huge ability, but has been ridden wrongly from behind for 2 years. Young Lloyd – or probably his […]
The unbeaten Queensland filly Skirt The Law started even money favorite in the Sweet Embrace at Randwick on Saturday. She went like a busted arse. When the Stewards asked trainer Tony Gollan to explain the poor performance he said he didn’t have a clue, but was going to her scoped to try to find out. […]
Race 1 – Bubba Gump Pest Control Stakes Betterzipit was incredible last start in the Schweppes Sprint, despite what the form guide says. Cam Hart drove it like an imbecile, and cruelled it’s chances, which would have been huge given a decent steer by Cracker or someone as good as that, which – again despite […]
Was that Greg Gangle, the (seemingly temporary) CEO of the Riverina harness racing club at Wagga, that I saw on Friday night at the Newcastle Mile meeting being wined and dined by the committee of the Newcastle Harness Racing Club? The same club that recently advertised seeking applicant for a new CEO/General Manager? If it […]
I keep telling everyone that Catch a Wave is the best 3YO in Victoria, but blinded by the idiotic Jason Bonnington and Co pro Captain Ravishing lights very few believe me. It’s at their peril. Catch a Wave is a superstar, and one that given his huge stature and size at such a still young […]
