Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
When you think about it Baldy looks a bit like the horse is he is scoping out for Zjelko. They both have a similar sort of white nose. It’s probably the ice cream. Professional punter David ‘Baldy’ Frolley has become the most loved character ever written about on this website. Every where he goes to […]
Random human sampling? WTF? Which riders did they eat? Do you reckon they tasted good? Most of them would be a bit like quail in my opinion, and the ones who aren’t would taste like old leather. Not that there is anything wrong with that. I wouldn’t want a sample of one of them though. […]
Gitalong wins two races, one at Gladstone, the other at Roma. This bloke’s a rating 71 horse before either win. It doesn’t get any penalty or increase at all for the Gladstone win, and remains a rating 71. Then comes the Roma win and Gitalong goes up just two ratings points to 73. Compare that […]
The last time we saw racing’s everywhere man Baldy, the Forrest Gump of the punt world, was 3 weeks ago in Swan Hill. On Thursday popped up 1700km away at Casino. He has had a haircut in between. It looks like a $5 job at the apprentice barber’s school to me. The fiver was probably […]
The Supreme Court decision in the battle between Racing NSW and the Australian Turf Club (ATC) over PVL’s crew’s decision to appoint an administrator to run the Sydney race club is difficult to understand if you don’t get the intricacies of the law, which I don’t but think I get the gist of, and even […]
Safety First? Or OT? There is increasing disquiet among racing participants who compete on the Darling Downs about the Stewards habit of holding race day inquiries after the last race instead of during the meeting. Many consider that while it might be okay for the stipes to rack up a bit of overtime through the […]
I love Tasmania. It’s a crazy cool little island with more quirks that McGuirk, and most of them good. The politics of the joint are crazy though, especially when it comes to racing. Jane Howlett has been outspoken in defense of harness racing, mainly on the side of the crooks, Ben Yole in particular. Whether […]
There is something decidedly queer about Ipswich. It looks alright but it gives off this smell, or this feeling to be more correct. A feeling that the joint just ain’t no good. As long as the horses and people could be safely evacuated, and relocated to some place like Calliope or Taroom, I reckon it […]
Oh my goodness. How brilliant was Kalyn Ponga? And Selwyn Cobbo? Or Sam Walker, Harry Grant, the entire Maroons forward pack, and the whole Queensland team. Keith from QLD and I backed them for plenty head to head. Being an AFL man from way back he doesn’t really understand footy, and was worried at half […]
Archie What is going to happen to racing if Pauline Hanson and her followers ban non-white migration? Don’t people watch the races anymore? Where do the majority of stable hands and strappers come from, and where were they born? I will bet you a Mercedes against a peanut that it wasn’t Australia originally. Let’s go […]
