Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
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.
If you think the massive reduction to prizemoney for the Breeders Crown series announced yesterday is the only crack on the chin that Victorian harness racing participants are going to cop this year, then I’d suggest you think again, for the pain has only just begun. There is no alternative, for as we’ve been trying […]
If you are going to try and pull a swiftie on the Stewards by slipping them a doctored medical report, it would be sensible to check that the doctor who you are pretending wrote the report is still in business first. Trackwork rider Kirsty Mason isn’t semsible. She submitted a Health Assessment Results Form dated […]

This is not actually Saturday’s Longreach Stewards report. It says it is, but its not. It’s the report from the meeting held at the track on the 12th […]
Earlier in the week we told you about Chantal Turpin’s trotter Top Of The Moment’s atrocious record of galloping in races, and explained to you why he shouldn’t have been allowed to race in the Group 1 Trotter’s Cup last night, as under the usual practice the Stewards should have stood the horse down. You […]
A month or two ago we wrote about the safety risks of running greyhounds on the grass track at Bundaberg, and called for the Queensland authorities to immediately shut racing down there on animal welfare grounds until the course is remodeled and rebuilt with a sand surface. Sadly for the dogs that continue to get […]
A Letter From Sally, the Hard Working Secretary of the Towers Jockey Club First published 2 February 2o22 A couple of days ago we wrote an article in which we were critical of the Towers Jockey Club (TJC) about what we (seemingly wrongly) believed was their failure to fix the race track in the town […]
