Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Dear Sir Response to your recent story about the race clubs who don’t deserve a license, straight way there is one that comes to mind immediately in the Emerald Jockey Club. This club is involved in very well-known ongoing tirade and hostility towards a very popular and successful trainer at Emerald. Not only is this […]
Kevin Seymour is all the above. Smart in this context because he entered three mares in the QLD Sun – an automatic qualifier for the G1 Rising Sun – and thus under the preferential barrier draw by age and sex conditions of the race secured the trio the inside barriers 1-2-3. Lucky because his other […]
This is what supposed rugby league expert Adam Pengilly wrote on Foxsports this morning, in an article bagging Laurie Daley and his blues. The bloke is an idiot who doesn’t people whose blood runs maroon. No mate, we don’t have JT, Cam, Cooper and Billy, Not out there on the playing field anyway. But we […]
Richmond is a rural town in north-west QLD, not that far from Mt Isa. The race club out there put on a five race meeting on the weekend. Jockeys who rode at it earned $1250 in fees, plus the chance of up to $1700 in commission on prizemoney won, which is not a bad earn […]
After 15 years in harness racing’s wilderness, former champion NSW reinsman Greg Bennett’s long march to freedom is over after the QLD Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT) this week declared Bennett to be a fit and proper person to hold a Class A Driver’s License. In 2011 was stood down from the sport and later […]
How the hell have Hector, Tyson and Whos Delight got starts in the Redcliffe Gold Cup ahead of Greased Lightnin? Hector has won just 1 race from its past 23 starts. It is a rating NR107, but only on past deeds, not present. Whos Delight has won none of its past ten. It is rated […]
The Kevin Seymour owned/Grant Dixon trainer Path To Greatness galloped away from the stand in the Flashing Red at Albion Park on Saturday night. Watch. It’s the horse drawn second from the outside in the Dixon black and white checked silks. Path To Greatness no doubt gallops. You can see it clearly. In any usual […]
There are ten races at the rich Redcliffe Cup meeting on Saturday night. All of them are random barrier draws. The odds of a single trainer’s horse drawing the coveted pole position in five of them are astronomical. Unless of course his horses are all owned by Kevin Seymour. Grant Dixon has drawn 1 (after […]
As Archie has told you it’s my Nude Tips 1 year anniversary this Saturday and it’s been a wild and hugely enjoyable rollercoaster ride. I’ve picked this week’s photo in honor of my Viking ancestors, me going as hard as I can for the punters for 52 consecutive weeks of The Battle. I’ve won (editor’s […]
Based on how the last race at Mackay was run yesterday you would have to suspect that the winner Red Hot Lizzie is the best named horse in history, because this race sure did look red hot. Lizzie is trained by former trot driver Lachie Manzelmann. Manzelmann had four of the eleven runners in the […]
