Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
So this eyeshadow wearing weirdo with the 1970’s porn star looks and the mad as a cut snake girlfriend has pulled out of singing at The Everest, because the cut snake hates horse racing. Well bully for both of them. She hates everything that isn’t her. And his songs are shit. It’s no loss at […]
Victoria Leonard in our previous story is the same person who is presently involved in a bitter stoush with Peter V’Landys over the issues of (a) whether or not she personally profited from a purportedly not for profit event, by virtue of her private company getting the paid gig to run it; and (b) whether […]
The NSW Trainers Association have been very vocal in its opposition to Peter V’Landys, and was last week reported to be threatening to pass a no confidence motion in V’Landys as Racing NSW CEO. Which begs the question. Who and what exactly is the NSW Trainer’s Association (NSWTA), and what rights to they have under […]
For some time now Peter V’Landys has claimed that the thoroughbred breeders are mounting a campaign against him because they want to kill horses. He is right on both counts. There is a campaign against him, and while Big Richie and the big trainers are the cavalry, it’s the breeders who are calling the tune. […]
Well the votes are in and Peter V’Landys has been reelected as Australia’s Greatest Racing Administrator in a landslide. The votes being the 2024/25 annual reports of Racing Victoria and NSW. The numbers being the electors. Here is a summary of the count. Racing NSW revenue was $116 million less than that of Racing Victoria […]
We are unabashed huge fans of Peter V’Landys, as a person, as a leader, and as quite possibly the greatest racing administrator that the world has ever seen. The reasons for that latter statement are borne out clearly by the information and financial accounts published this week in the 2025 Annual Report. Racing NSW’ success […]
It didn’t seem to attract the interest of the mainstream racing media, but we were intrigued about the distance of the King Charles III at Randwick on Saturday being 1609m rather than the traditional (but wrongly calculated) 1600m of the famous Randwick mile that the race was run over last year, and that is used […]
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 […]
