Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Well we were wrong about Neil Boyle being a Steward in QLD, but not by far, and we are not wrong about the rest. Boyle is now a Steward in Northern NSW. I bet PVL didn’t know that he used jiggers as a trainer when he appointed him. It gets worse. Since we published the […]
Without the benefit of a head on film we can’t be sure exactly what happened to cause the fall in the 4th at Caloundra on Sunday, but it appears to me that either Bubba Tilley or Taylor Marshall – or both – were at fault. Tilley, who was leading, appears to have drifted off the […]
The usual suspects who hate the clan claim that Mark Currie’s strike rate has exploded up since his son boom-boom Benny – aka the Tornado – was allowed by the Stewards to return to the fold as a stable hand, with the inference being that somehow they are cheating, with Ben pulling the rorts. It […]
I don’t think Australian’s understand the importance of the top hat at Royal Ascot. It is a crucial piece of attire required for the gentlemen to fit into place at the week-long festival of racing at the Royal meeting.

Tyler’s Tribe is running in the Breeders Cup Juvenile on Turf this weekend, one of the top 2YO races in the North American racing world. Once you read the touching back story of the horse, you will be cheering for is as hard as me. Go get ’em boy. Kick their arse, just like the […]

Matt Tripp should have the Edge Hill kid running his book. He knows how to count. The hot word from out sources down south inside Sportsbet is that the floundering and flailing BetR CEO Matthew Tripp has stuffed up big time with his $101 odds Melbourne Cup promo, and is under huge pressure from his […]
You pretty much have to be a Pom or a Kiwi, or to have spent extended time in either, to appreciate the humour of Chris Waller and Charlie Duckworth, but once you realise that the pair are both personally close and extremely well matched friends, and together as a duo very fucking funny. I don’t […]
Why the hell in the modern age does Racing Victoria sanction and support the holding of an divisive event like a racing mass to celebrate the Spring Carnival? Mass is a Catholic thing. Only 20 percent of Australians identify as Catholic. About 1/6th of them attend church, which means that only 3% of Australians do, […]
Reading on racing.com about Ben Lyons, the one time Nudgee College boy, and his wedding plans for Derby Day when he has a horse running in the Coolmore, made me both immediately realise who wears the pants is his relationship, and made me ponder whatever happened to his brother James Lyons, the one time up […]
