Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
You see the newspapers get a long of things wrong, but a mate of mine from down at the Goldie reckons this one takes them all. I agree with him too. Arrentee was listed in yesterday’s Courier-Mail form guide as a $26 shot in the 5th at Aquis Park today. It’s a shame you couldn’t […]
Yet another international galloper has been scratched from racing in Victoria in a big race. This time it is the English galloper Without A Thought, who – like Durston in the Caulfield Cup – was the favourite to win the Zipping Classic being run at Caulfield tomorrow. During the repeated CT scanning taking process applied […]
The newish QRIC Commissioner has come up with this wild and wacky idea about ‘regionalisation’, meaning that he intends to recruit and train race day Stewards from Upper Muckadilla Siding to officiate twice a year at the Lower Muckadilla Siding races, or in the case of the example I am about to give you, the […]
Peter Gleeson – Scooter to his mates – is the Courier-Mail’s pre-eminent right-wing nutbag columnist, the wannabe heir to Alan Jones and Piers Akerman. Why a bloke from Grafton whose Mum is a dog trainer would want to support the rich and powerful in their exploitation of Australia’s resources, tax system and minimum wage employees […]
Which former promising Brisbane apprentice was recently thrown off a plane home from a race meeting after rolling onto the aircraft blind drunk and then proceeding to make a pig of himself in full view of every passenger on board? I’m not going to name the bloke, other than to say that if you cast […]
See the name on the bottom of the press release? Nicole Rowles. The new QRIC media officer. Up until December 2021 Rowles was doing freelance media consulting through her own company, and then up until she took the QRIC job she was working for an outfit called K.K.&O. Agency. One of her and KKO’s clients […]
Shane Larkins started his Stewarding career in Christchurch, New Zealand. He crossed the ditch and moved to HRV as a Steward, and then went on to take up the role of Chief at the trots in Tasmania, a thankless task if there ever was one. After that he went back to HRV as Chief for […]
Another great Irishman with a bit of Ernie in his name So what do you make of the Birdsville jigger inquiry? My view is this. Ric McMahon is lying like fuck, and then lying some more when he claims not to know what a jigger is, or how to use it. That’s bollocks. McMahon moved […]
The Stewards report into the Luke Tarrant fall at the Sunshine Coast last week has been finalised. It was no-one’s fault that Tarrant fell they found. And Shane Dye didn’t get Veandercross beaten in the ’92 Caulfield Cup either. Puhlease. The title says it all. You can read out earlier story about the fall at […]
Bruce Clark’s racenet columns in recent times have been very hard to digest and understand. That’s because they don’t make any sense. Gobbledegook rarely does. He doesn’t get any better this week. Just listen to this shit. Darren Weir was not an animal abuser Snowy claims. He kept a living bird aviary as solace from the […]
