Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
See the bloke circled in red? Shane Wirth. He was a local lad who played for Norths with my mate’s brother. Later on he went to Banyo and Sandgate High Schools, probably getting expelled from one to end up at the other, as kids from our side of town used to do back then. It […]
Don’t be stupid Wangarattians, he’s a bloody good race caller Hi Archie There is an issue about equine vets that I would like to raise. I can tell you from decades of experience that the vets don’t positively identify horses on ambulatory calls to stables or studs, and in many cases not even on their […]
Race caller David ‘Feathers’ Fowler has long been a devotee of Gino’s Italian restaurant at Ascot. You see him there most Sunday nights with papers all over his table as he prepared his Monday morning Press Room show for broadcast to virtually no-one other than dinosaurs of the racing scene like himself, and sometimes you […]
Copley continues the slaying of Magic and Jill. Then the slaughter finishes. King Kenny is asked by the chair if he has any more questions. He looks at the Magic Man and smiles, and says not at this stage with a grin. Murdoch tries to pull himself and his client out of the swirling vortex […]
They play the video, It is as clear as day that Jill comes racing in and king hits Russo from behind while he is being held by a security guard. Boom. Straight right. Some say Grimson is a hard man. Bullshit I say. Every hard man I know would have knocked Russo into Disneyland if […]
Murdoch KC is struggling now. He has submitted that a fine is appropriate and has been shot down. Desperate and drowning, he throws up an inference that its the trot clubs fault for letting people piss up for hours after the race. Yeah good Jim. Then he compares and contrasts Jill’s king hit on Russo […]
Magic is now doing what he does best, picking the rules apart. Where he is going with it is to build a case that Jill has been charged under the wrong rule, and is not good for the charge as laid. He brings up a WA case, and then raises a case involving the mad […]
Murdoch KC moves into his favourite game, the loophole. He starts banging on about what a racecourse is, and what relating to racing means in the rules. Then he moves to arguing the semantics about who looks after what, the QRIC or Racing Queensland. They are split controlling bodies with different powers he basically says. […]
I honestly can’t recall what it says about that he replies. Copley is good. You don’t become a KC if you aren’t. He asks Jill if he said that he hit Russo. The answer of course is yes. Copley is reading Farquharson showed him the video. It showed Jill hitting Jill in the back of […]
Murdoch asks his client about Jack Callaghan getting bashed. Jill says that Jack is a young kid who doesn’t look for trouble. He says he saw him being bashed by a bloke, and was shocked. He admits to hitting the victim Russo. Grimson admits that when he got back to Sydney he sent Russo a […]
