Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The mail is that J-Mac and his form people have identified our boy Sharp N Smart as the pea for the Victoria Derby. Sources close to the Mac tell us that his agent approached trainer G. ‘Rogie’ Rogerson for the ride this week after learning that J.H. Bowman was staying in Sydney to ride in […]
Editor’s note – A huge thanks to the esteemed former Fairfax newspapers racing editor John ‘Lucky’ Lingard for gifting us these magnificent photos of a wonderful horse and an even better story.
This Stewards report is somewhat frightening. Neither the barrier attendants nor the jockey, or the starter or anyone else at the start at the Mitchell races knew how to properly secure a girth. For goodness sake, it’s not that hard. What the hell is going on in Queensland racing. This whole thing was a debacle.
Australian racing is today a laughing stock, a joke. Our champion stayer has been humiliated. We all have. Unless you have sold it to Coolmore, you do not without notice rip your horse out of the stable of Australia’s leading trainer and export it to be trained by a Pom, Paddy, Wog or Frog to […]

Given the revelations that have come out of the NSW and QLD inquiries into the Star Entertainment Group over the past year, is it really appropriate that it continues to hold a slot in The Everest? I mean let’s be honest here, we are talking about an outfit that has been found to have been […]
Queensland Racing Minister Grace Grace used to be a union official. She says the ‘movement’ means everything to her. It’s all about working people, Grace reckons. That’s why she goes straight into the members area on the rare occasions that she attends the races, and never leaves, except to go to the committee room. Kitted […]
Paulele made it seven wins from 18 starts when he added the Group 2 Schillaci Stakes to his form sheet on Saturday and he deserves a Group 1 win. I can see him getting that coveted victory on Friday week in the Manikato Stakes. He only beat second-tier horses in the Schillaci, but what is […]
Immediately following the declaration of correct weight starter Mr D Bannister approached Stewards and reported that the four runners drawn to the outside had started from incorrect barriers. Stewards immediately opened an inquiry into the matter. They questioned the Starter, Mr D. Bannister, Jockey J. Felix (RIVERINA DEMAND), Jockey N. Summers (FRAZZLED), Jockey A. Holt […]
