Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
What you see above is the start of race 1 at Toowoomba last night. The horse jumping from barrier 5 clearly gets an advantage as its gate opens fully while the other runners gates are still closed and just starting to spring open.

These are the horses who were supposed to be on the property where the three pictured above died, or at least according to the court records. Our investigations have found that only three, or at best four, presently survive. These ones. Where are the rest? As far as we can see, none of the […]
Captain Maverick, last in the lime green with black and white sleeves and black and white checked cap, was an outsider at $71.oo in race 5 at Eagle Farm on Saturday.

Luke Tarrant was back in court on Thursday, for another mention of three charges of armed robbery. We are told that Tarrant is alleged to have robbed or attempted to rob his local store, and then gone back and done it again. These are simply allegations. But gee they make you wonder don’t they?
