Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
At this moment in time the Doomben track for Cup day is rated a Heavy 8. People who have walked it this morning suggest that it is a whole lot worse. The sky is enveloped by clouds, and it’s pissing down rain. All week the BOM said it was going to. Why the hell haven’t […]
You all know about Chainsaw Yole, the Tasmanian trot trainer who regularly turns out more than half the runners on the card at meetings down there. Well Queensland, bugger Ben Yole. We’ve got our own big numbers trainer up here near the Isa, and she is a whole lot nicer than Chainsaw too. Tanya Parry […]
Queensland’s racing stewards are the finest in the world. They employ their resources well too. In Your Element was the horse we told you about earlier in the week that missed the start by a dozen lengths, caught up to the field, circled them and won. Our boys and girls in the QRIC badges looked […]
Ray Hadley did a segment about the eviction of Danny Bougoure from Eagle Farm on his morning radio show yesterday, and described it as an absolute disgrace. For legal reasons I am unable to describe Ray’s comments in full, but you can listen to them yourself if you wish to on the 2GB website. It […]
How often do you see a horse miss the start by about 12 lengths and still get up and win? Not very often is the answer. But you did today in the 6th at Toowoomba. In Your Element stayed in the gates at the start, and was tailed out behind them. He stayed back there […]
As you can see in the republished stories below (which are merely a selection of them, there are more), we have written several times about the QLD trotter Doug, who gallops away at almost every start he has, and steals innocent punters money. Look at the picture at the top, which is Doug’s recent form, […]
The talented but highly temperamental trotter Doug was placed on another warning by the Stewards after again galloping away from the stand at Albion Park on Saturday night, but you really have to start wondering how long a piece of string is and asking the question when does enough become enough? This is the seventh […]
Think I’m going down to the well tonight And I’m going to drink till I get my fill And I hope when I get old I don’t sit around thinking about it But I probably will Yeah, just sitting back trying to recapture A little of the glory of, well time slips away And leaves […]
Thoughts on Stephanie Thornton on #19 campai at sunny coast. Hasn’t fully rode the horse surely?? Big market support late as well. Interesting? @PfitznerMiles @SEN_track @qldtrials @Browndogg_30x @camluke pic.twitter.com/JqZauVp0mh — Tom Papley (@TomPapley) May 11, 2022 Someone wanna tell me what Stephanie thornton was doing kn campai — sports critic (@Andy97614611) May 11, 2022 I […]
Well that was inevitable. Why it wasn’t announced earlier in the week is anyone’s guess. We understand that the acceptance deadline will be extended until later today. Its hard to see too many trainers wanting to scratch. The 10 000 isn’t affected, but you would imagine that there will inevitably have to be changes to […]
