Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The results of the QLD Racing Review and the recommendations to be adopted and implemented will be released this Saturday morning 6 December at a special live event being held at the Doomben racecourse between 9.00am and 10.00am. We have confirmed with the office of the Racing Minister Tim Mander that there will be no […]
The dominance of the giant stables in Sydney is getting totally out of control. Or should I say the Waller stablers dominance of the numbers in Sydney is. Take the third race at Warwick Farm today, the Maiden Plate over 1400m. There are 9 runners in the race. Chris Waller trains 7 of them. Waller’s […]
The QRIC has issued an industry notice telling us who can and can’t punt, or to more precise just who can’t. None of these people listed are allowed to have a bet at a race meeting that they are working at: Steward Veterinary Surgeon Handicapper Judge Starter Clerk of the Course or Clerk of the […]
Anthropomorphism is the attribution of human characteristics or behaviour to an animal. What Rob Waterhouse is saying in posh wank language is that horses aren’t people, so stop treating them like they are when it comes to heat stress. The issue Waterhouse and his wife Gai are referring to is Racing NSW’ announcement that it […]
Racing.com have posted the results of The Jericho Cup as the race being run over 4600m too. Funny thing is that I could have sworn that racing.com is owned by Racing Victoria, which employs the Stewards that decided to shorten the distance of the race. One hand at RV doesn’t seem to have a clue […]

Well it seems that […]
The connections of Boston Rocks would have to be kidding wouldn’t they? I mean I know they love their horse, and we are all entitled to have a dream and chase it, but if Boston Rocks is up to Group 1 Oakleigh Plate quality then I must be watching all the wrong races. He is […]
We have been telling you for a long time that online racing publication The Straight is a front for sectional interests, predominantly the breeders who fund the publication and their friends, who in the time honored warped tradition of anyone who is Peter V’Landys enemy is my friend, includes every wanker under the sun, and […]
One time Group 1 winning jockey Gavin Eades has been warned off for 6 months by Racing Victoria Stewards, effective immediately. It is a warning off because RV can’t disqualify him as he doesn’t hold a license. Six months isn’t really long enough in my view. Life would have been better. It doesn’t really matter […]
“I can’t touch horses or saddle horses but I can manage some things for the stable, help with programming campaigns for horses and manage communication with owners” “There are some things I did wrong in the past and if I could go back in time and change some stuff I would. “I’ve always wanted to […]
