D-Day for B. Currie – Part 1
Well it’s D-day today for Ben Currie, or the first of them anyway. It’s also the first huge public test for the Racing Appeals Panel.

This is the predicted NSW team above. Fittler would have to be kidding wouldn’t he? He has persisted with two small wingers, and Addo-Carr needled up and totally out of form.

The Q a Blue? – Surely the QLD Racing Minister is Taking the Piss
What the hell sort of name is the Q? What does it stand for? The Queensland? No, we’ve already got one. The moment you cross the Tweed you’re standing in it. The Quinella? No, there are three tracks at Purga not two. The Queer? In these woke, enlightened days who knows? The Quadragesimal? The Quaint? […]
