The breakdown of payments starts with $250 for a 42-day positive test for mares located in NSW, […]
What the hell was Sofia Arvidsson doing here? She is on the $1.33 fave Dance Secret in a very weak 7 horse race. It gallops out for no seeming reason at all. Arvidsson is out the back and there is nothing to her inside or outside, or anywhere around. Instead of just steadying it back […]

Mickey Muscat doesn’t have the greatest disciplinary record in the world that’s for sure. In the past 16 years he’s been put out twice for positive swabs, and it wasn’t that long ago that they let him back in. It didn’t last. Mickey’s pacer Knight Mariner threw an over the limit TCO read in the […]

Racing Victoria has appointed a bloke who runs the netball in NSW as it’s new CEO to replace Giles Thompson, after the latter lost the battle with Peter V’Landys and walked the plank. Netball hey?
