Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
If the Stewards don’t raise questions about the running of race 7 last night at Menangle, then we might as well lock up the integrity office, turn off the lights, and throw the keys in the Nepean River. This race was off like prawns left six days in the sun. Luke – sorry, Belinda – […]
The Cran Dalgety trained pacer Trixton Time boasted the unenviable record of 35 starts for just 2 wins coming into last night’s Addington meeting, and had not won a race in it’s past 8 starts. It’s best winning time was 2.00.0. It is strongly rumoured that prior to the running of Trixton Time’s race, the […]
They pay down to tenth place in NSW thoroughbred racing. You get $500. Calmer Karma finished eighth. The five hundred was in the bag. Or would have been if the lead had stayed there. Look where it fell out. It’s hard to earn half a ton in this tough guys town isn’t it?
A horse named Big Arjay was the medium of a sensational plunge in the 3rd race at Cowra on Monday. He was backed from $14 into $3.30, which is a decent go in any person’s language. Big Arjay was beaten into 2nd place after being seemingly stuck on the fence behind the leaders with nowhere […]
On the 22nd of December 2021 a NSW trot trainer named Michael ‘Mickey’ Muscat raced a very appropriately named pacer called Knight Walker in the first on the card at a TAB meeting at Bathurst. The horse went exactly as its name suggested, like a busted arse. It sat in the death and got beaten […]
The prospect of running the Miracle Mile at Menangle on Saturday night are looking bleaker and bleaker by the minute. Like many trots tracks, Menangle was built in a flood basin, and the whole joint’s under water. That’s not then worst of it. The track sits next to the Nepean River. It is at its […]
To Infinitynbeyond is a 10-year-old pacer who until yesterday had not won a race for 5 years. I’m not sure whether that is a record for the longest gap ever between wins, but gee if its not it must be close. In his whole long life as a racer, the old pacer had never won […]
This is Menangle this morning. The flood levels are predicted to rise before the fall. “We can’t race on a half mile track” the trainers scream. What do they race the Little Brown Jug on fellas? You know, the world’s most famous race, the one that all the greats win. Forbes Chief, Tar Heel, Adios […]
Queanbeyan’s finest 5 star hotel It was a big day out for the Racing NSW officials at downtown Queanbeyan yesterday, that’s for sure. As hard as it is to believe, they actually made the QRIC mob up north of the Tweed look good. First up they hauled ten professional riders into the dunnies and made […]
“Amateur” – PVL stares down Alligator Al, and tells it how it is This is the rule that egotistical Allan Endrez claims that Peter V’Landys introduced just to get him. Like most things that Alligator Al says and does, it is bullshit. Here is the one that’s got him, and it’s all his fault. (9) […]
