Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Our story the other day about Peter V’Landys leaving Racing NSW in the coming months has attracted a lot of chatter, and a bit more mail too. PVL is definitely leaving racing they say. But the successor appears to be chap named Graham Hinton, who currently holds the position of Chief Operating Officer at Racing […]
The Chairman of Racing Victoria Brian Kruger has declared war on Peter V’Landys. It is the greatest misjudgement since Hitler decided to fight the war on two fronts by taking on Stalin. Kruger has laid down the law. Either PVL comes to the party, or NSW gets frozen out. In Kruger’s fantasy being frozen outs […]
Brian Kruger is talking tough about hauling Peter V’Landys into line. Brian has something up his sleeve. Brian thinks its a winner. That’s because Brian has misread the play completely, and is about to get smashed from the blind. Allow me to explain the go. Melbourne has 30 Group 1 races to Sydney’s 29. PVL […]
There is another part of the clause in the Constitution about what happens with meetings that are inquorate because Peter V’Landys fails to turn up.

The Golden Eagle is, in my view, another Peter V’Landys mistake. Not the race. It is superb. The timing. This is too big and too good a race to be going head to head with Derby day. It’s like putting a Tyson fight at his best on v an Ali one when the Champ is […]
Well just as we predicted earlier in the week, acting NSW Chief Steward and former Steve Fletcher employee Wade Birch’s attempt at slotting Brenton Avdulla for a perfectly acceptable ride on an unwanted 40-1 shot has collapsed into the nothing that it always was. Birch went out talking tough. Had those surrounding circumstances not have […]
