Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
You thought it was Jeff Penza on the horse in the green didn’t you? If so you are about a third right. Or you thought it was Blaike Spriggs on the horse outside King in the red. A little bit, but not the most. Penza was the blocker who used the whip in his right […]
With the Canadian superstar administrator Greg Gangle departing the banks of the Murrumbidgee to take up residence on the Yarra River floodplain, the hot word in the public bar of the International Hotel at Wagga is that the current Chief Steward and local boy Travis Quick is the raging hot fave to jump the table […]
When I first watched the 9th race at Bathurst I was going t0 write a story about the atrocious call, for I would have bet my life that the inside horse had won the race, while the caller firmly believed that the outside had. We were both right, and we were both wrong. It was […]

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 […]
