Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The track record over 2138m off the stand is 1.56.9, run last Saturday night by Bombadier Jujon. It started from the front and led, 7 runs into its prep. Colt Thirty One went 1.57.5 yesterday. He began off 20 metres, and cut the breeze the whole way. First up for 9 months. On a bog […]
Forget culling, ignore death quotas, and just leave things be. The more crocs you kill, the more come out top play, and they play a lot more viciously than they did before too. That’s why we’ve been here the blink of an eyelid in real terms, and the crocodiles have been here since the dawn […]
So Port Au Prince blows from $10.00 out to $16.00, which is quite a surprise to form students who rate the horse as about a $6.00 chance. Just as it is making what could be a decisive mid race move the horse’s lugging pole breaks loose. It is eased out to the back, where it […]

This the 1st race at Caloundra yesterday. The judge declared the outside horse the winner. Connections of the inside horse asked to look at the print. They looked at it. Then the judge changed the placings to make it a dead heat. He was wrong both times. You show me a dead heat here and […]
It’s no wonder Jim Murdoch is smiling. I don’t feel so bad about him getting me kicked out of QCAT now. Or only a little bit anyway. But always remember Sir, just like Desleigh, those who laugh last laugh the longest. DECISION Racing Integrity Act 2016, Section 252AH Review application number RAP-6 Name: Desleigh Forster Panel […]

With his winners at Rockhampton on Sunday and at Thangool yesterday Walsh has surpassed his previous record, and lifted his already amazing strike rate beyond the 50% mark for the season.
