Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The former bookmaker Lindsay Gallagher owned pacer The Post Office was sensationally backed in the last few minutes of betting to win the first race at Marburg yesterday, firming from $51.00 late into $11.00 at the jump. The Post Office delivered by landing the plunge, but only after two extraordinary strokes of uncommonly good fortune […]
Our favorite Queensland horse Flash Aah has just pulled off one of the great wins in the Ipswich Cup. Prepared perfectly by much underrated trainer Troy Pascoe, one of the nicest people in racing, Flash came from with a withering boom from well back to take out the time honored race under a heady ride […]
We told you way back in January 2023 that Nick Walsh was a drug cheat. His strike rates were just too incredible for him to be anything else. When something looks too good to be true it usually is. Walsh got caught with the banned performance enhancing anabolic steroid Stanozolol in one of horse’s systems. […]
“Nick who?” you ask. The young trainer whose record over the past 12 months is 93 starters for 41 wins, 19 seconds and 9 thirds. That’s almost 100 runners for a strike rate of 44.1% the win and 74.2% the place. Walsh is doing even better this season. 42 starts – 21 wins and 11 […]
The Hayden is the best value slot race in the world. There is no fixed price for slots. You buy them at auction, and when you do you get your barrier too. Gate 1 is reserved for a 3-year-old filly, colt or gelding. Gates 2 and 3 are f0r 3yo colts and geldings. Gate 4 […]
Something seems to be afoot in the Nick Walsh camp. His best galloper Hell was yesterday transferred into the care of the horse basher and doper trainer Tom Smith. Walsh’s recent winner Daimyo was too. Both horses have different connections so it’s unlikely to be due to an ownership dispute. More likely it has to […]
Natalie Hinkley is the Victorian registered bookmaker and purported principal of Swiftbet who has in recent times stirred up all sorts of controversy among the ranks QLD satchel swingers due to her concerted campaign to abolish control of local betting rings by race clubs and open them up inside to all comers. Call it the […]
Archie You’d do well to review every start of Magic Game’s career and see what sort of low animal it is. Forget the ride. If there was ever a horse that wasn’t going to be suited around Ooralea (Mackay) it was it. Ian from Innot Springs
Justin Stanley didn’t look too keen on the favorite Magic Game here in the 6th at Mackay on Thursday did he? First he flops it out of the gate then strangles it back to last. Then he takes it up the rail and onto heels, causing his mount to start pulling its head off. Stanley […]
David Fowler called the placings wrong in the controversial race at Doomben yesterday that the TAB and bookies are paying out on the wrong results. What else would you expect? To think Tabcorp/Sky chose this chook over Josh Fleming. Decision making at its very finest. Not. Editor’s note – Provoker finished third
