Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Peter Profit reader and regular correspondent Gold Coast Greg – aka Greg Blanchard – talks to ABC North about the jockey shortage besetting country racing in QLD. Greg makes some very salient points. What he has to say is well worth a listen.
Steve O’Dea, one of the nice guys of racing departs The O’Dea and Hoysted training partnership is over. There is no scandalous story or fallout or anything like that we are told. Steve O’Dea just wanted to step away and take a break from the hustle and bustle and the 24/7 demands of running a […]
This is the tongue of the topweight Namazu after the Townsville Cup, in which the horse put on a rodeo performance after 100m and took no competitive part in the race. Goodness me. Hasn’t he paid the price for being in a pig of a mood? A spell will do him good.
