Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Tuncurry trainer Grant Jobson only has two horses, Imastruestar and No Tackle, the latter of which obviously slipped past the Registrars misunderstood. Jobson used to have three horses, but due in part to his stupidity and neglect, one of them died. She was a wee filly, just three years old. All In Writing was her […]

The reason why trainer Grant Jobson should appeal his 6-month disqualification is simple. He was charged and found guilty under the wrong rule. Racing NSW laid the charge against Jobson under rule AR229(1)(b) – Improper action in connection with racing.

In late 2023 the trotter Melpark Magic was disqualified from its win in a race in January after throwing a positive swab to the anti-inflammatory drug Flunixin.

All they say is that Super Seaton pleaded guilty to a charge directing his drive Master Catch outwards when insufficiently clear of Cya Art, resulting in Cya Art having […]
PO is corrupt NSW trot Steward Paul O’Toole, who was accepting bribes from trainers not to swab their horses. MB is Matthew Bentley, another corrupt Steward who, unbeknown to O’Toole, has rolled over against him, and is wearing a wire. All names have been removed for legal reasons. They’re pretty interesting though, I can assure […]
