Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
A picture tells a thousand words. Some say two to the Valley. Like this one of todays crowd at Randwick says to Peter V’Landys knockers. Have you ever seen so many young people at a race meeting in your life? I’ve been goin to track for half a century and I haven’t, not even at […]
Do you want the long story about the NSW Parliamentary Committee Report into Possible contempt arising from the inquiry into the proposal to develop Rosehill Racecourse or the short one? We will give you the short version because the long one is boring. Racing NSW did absolutely nothing wrong, nor did Peter V’Landys. The whole thing […]
Placing the ATC into administration is not as simple as Racing NSW might have us believe. Racing NSW has the power under section 14(2)(g) of the Thoroughbred Racing Act 1996 (‘Racing Act’) to appoint an administrator to conduct the affairs of the Australian Turf Club (ATC). That much is clear. https://legislation.nsw.gov.au/view/whole/html/inforce/current/act-1996-037#sec.14 HOWEVER Under the Registered […]
That’s how we feel about Mark Latham’s stinky kinky foecal fetishes too We told you many times during his demented attacks on PVL that Mark Latham was a shitman. If his ex-girlfriend is to believe he has proven us dead right. What sort of a bloke drops a turd on his girlfriend and then insists […]
John Dumesny (far left) with Peter V’Landys at Harold Park. It’s good to have friends. You can say what you like about Peter V’Landys, but when it comes to his friends he is extremely loyal and a solid a rock. He really looks out for his mates. And he looks after them too. PVL had […]
The Australian Turf Club has put two questions for its members to vote on. These two questions are, in essence, should the ATC (a) Sell Rosehill to the NSW government? (b) Replace Rosehill with a new Group 1 quality racecourse. Simple questions really, but multi-layered with complexity. For a start the phrase Group 1 racecourse […]
The Kiama Blowhole A Newmarket style major training centre will be developed in close proximity to Sydney to future proof the industry and provide trainers with an opportunity to acquire their own training base as an asset for their businesses. This initiative will increase the number of horses in training close to Sydney and support […]
It’s not all that often that I disagree with Peter V’Landys, but when it comes to his views expressed to the Rosehill sale inquiry our opinions diverge completely. V’Landys told the inquiry that it is racehorse owners who fund the industry, not punters or the government. To that I say bullshit. People buy racehorses to […]
Despite suffering a $20 million decline in wagering revenue in the past year as part of a national trend, Peter V’Landys oft criticized micro-management of Racing NSW finances has steered the organization to record a bumper profit of $12.6 million for the 2023/24 financial year. And he’s done while increasing prizemoney by $36 million at […]
Those of us with long memories will remember the days when the Sydney races on Derby Day were shite. Nothing sort of affairs with no particular interest to anybody except the connections of the runners.\ It wasn’t that long ago. Rewind to Rosehill on Derby Day in 2014. There were eight races on the card, […]
