Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Trainer Tony Herlihy MNZM had three runners in race 3 at Alexandra Park last night. Park Lane, Busload of Faith, and Jethro Bodine. One of them – Jethro Bodine – has been smashed from $3.60 into $1.90. It’s the one. Everything goes to plan early. Park Lane leads. Jethro Bodine gets the sweet cover and […]
Munce leaves Sydney’s Silverwater jail in 2008 accompanied by Junior, a top bloke from Nudgee named Peter Van REDACTED, who played front row for Norths just 2 years after switching over from soccer at SP bookie Bobby Bax’s urgings. He was a great footy coach Bob, and a superb judge. My Uncle Bert used to […]
HONG KONG: An Indian-origin businessman has emerged at the centre of a betting scandal in Hong Kong following charges that a well-known Australian jockey gave him racing tips and used him as a conduit for placing bets in violation of the law.

Jason ‘Jill’ Grimson, Jack ‘Turbo’ Trainer, and Seaton ‘Jilly Boy’ Grima fixed the Redcliffe Cup last night. The go horse was Loyalist. Jilly trained it, and Jilly Boy drove it. Loyalist had won just 4 races from 53 starts – all of them at it’s home track of Rangiora, near ‘Slimy’ Sam Taylor the man […]
Ashley Manton has been around a while and is no angel, and hasn’t been for a long time. Here he at Charlton back in 2014 beating the crap out of a horse. Manton is the driver of the leader on the inside. Look how hard he hits it. A few years later in 2017 Manton […]
I have never in entire life seen a more obviously crooked team drive than the one that Kate Gath pulled in the 8th at Melton last night. Gath drove the $1.40 favorite Encipher, trained by Emma Stewart and winner of a half million dollars and last year’s 3YO Filly of the Year award. It was […]
154. (1) If a horse breaks gait during a race, its driver shall take immediate action to avoid interference with other runners and without gaining an unfair advantage restrain the horse to its correct gait before rejoining the race without interference to another runner. Did not happen. Encipher did not break gait. 162. (1) A […]
Chris Voak had 2 runners in the last race at Gloucester Park on Tuesday night. One of them was Per Adua Ad Astra, which opened up as the $1.22 favorite. There wasn’t a cent of betting for it. It blew out to $1.85 at start time. The other Voak runner was All Aussie Mach. It […]
Ignore everything that Singo and Gerry say, Hawaii Five Oh cannot win the Straddie. In fact it’s the lay of the day. 5 of the past 23 winners have been 3YO’s, two of them fillies (La Montagna and Private Steer), two of them geldings Sincero and Snipers Bullet), and one – Impending in 2017 – […]
