Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
You always risk friendships when you tip against your mate’s horse, but the last bastion of freedom is truth, and we always tell it here. My mate Melbourne Merv owns Copy That, who is – judged by his record – without doubt the no 1 pacer in New Zealand. The Mark Purdon trained Self Assured […]
Robert Famularo (right), accepting the trophy from New Zealand’s greatest ever Prime Minister John Key To All Clubs and Kindred Bodies In this open letter I wish to express my real concerns around the behaviour, transparency and competency of the current Board as a collective entity controlling our industry. As a majority, our Board and […]
So Te Akau Racing have identified the cause of the positive swab its Group 1 winner Tokyo Tycoon threw after winning the Sistema Stakes, and they have fingered the offender. It was a strapper of course. It always is. The strapper has met with the Stewards and confessed all. She made a mistake. Trust Te […]

Gee that bloke one from the right is good looking. His wife tells him so every time he slings her a few hundred to buy shoes. I hear he writes stories about racing. Katrina Purdon is better looking though. Almost as handsome as Ba. I wonder why Jamie didn’t throw in a watch when Belle […]

Archie knows people everywhere. He knows how much you cut it, and what you cut it with too. I bet you didn’t your mates that one before they handed you the cash. Tweet tweet. You’re beat. I’m a Kiwi too don’t forget, and have been tripping the light fantastic since before you were born/ Which […]
So I’m an honest man writing true stories about the trots and earning double six figures for doing so while breaking no laws and giving name, address, date of birth and fuck off mate interviews to police when questioned. Andrew Fitzgerald is a bum trot trainer and driver earning SFA who illegally syndicates shit pacers […]
If Ben Hope was a horse and they’d put him for sale at Canterbury Agricultural Park as a yearling he would have been the top price lot. Any buyer would want this well conformed colt by the multiple group 1 winning champion sire Greg Hope out of the multiple group 1 winning dam Nina Hope, […]
The future of the New Zealand TAB could become clearer this week as New Zealand’s sole betting operator receives proposals from the three overseas betting agencies looking to run the majority of its operations.
