Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Having a camera truck blocking the vision of the race was not the greatest start to Moonee Valley’s biggest day of the year. Give yourselves an uppercut racing.com. Not all of us started the day so badly though. A glass of $19 Semillion anyone?
What the hell is Racing Victoria doing by allowing this Gold Trip – Cox Plate fiasco to unfold the way it has? Is the high class French horse sound or is it not sound? Surely with less than 36 hours to go until post time someone must know. This whole thing has turned into a […]
Punting Patto was either the maddest character ever to step on a race track, or the best actor in the world. Either way he was a whole lot of fun. I don’t know what happened to Patto. He disappeared about 7 years or so ago. Let’s hope he’s alright. Somehow I doubt it.

During the week I put forth the proposition forward that Incentivise would have to be Might and Power to win the Caulfield Cup today, and expressed doubt that he would. How wrong I was. Incentivise IS Might and Power. He may even be Phar Lap yet too, who knows? What a horse. What a win. […]
I’ve said since before last year’s Everest that Eduardo doesn’t get a strong 1200m. I just never expected that it would it take until today for the connections to get it too.
