Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Jill’s appeal has just kicked off. He has Jim Murdoch KC representing him. QRIC has a barrister who I think is Michael Copley KC. Grimson has turned up in a shirt buttoned up to the collar, but no tie. He looks like one of the Pet Shop Boys. The mobile arm flies and we are […]
TWO trainers are at the centre of an investigation after a horse backed from 28-1 into evens won easily. Reports claim betting patterns are being looked into after trainer Ken Budds’ Anyway won at Downpatrick in Ireland on Monday. Interviewed afterwards, the relatively unknown trainer told Racing TV he had backed the horse and said: […]
Last night we shared our extreme scepticism about the prospect to the topweight Bollente starting in the Birdsville Cup, and expressed an opinion that the horse was only there to compress the weights for the stablemate and would be scratched after the declaration acceptances.

Winton grazier Clarrie Hermann (pictured above) might well be 87 years old, but he has lost none of the tough cocky’s guile that has seen him running about 20 000 sheep over the 70 000 odd hectares that he owns and runs out in the town where Banjo Patterson once upon a time penned Waltzing […]

Racing Victoria’s highly embarrassing backdown on its whip free so called Big Bash style Summer racing series sounds the death knell for Andrew Jones short reign as CEO, and after his “I couldn’t care” comments about what the industry thought about his plans no-one in racing will shed any tears when the arrogant fool goes.

In March 1895, Goldsbrough Mort & Co employed the notorious Jack Watson to manage the station.[5] Watson had such a “bad name among the blacks” that the Aboriginal people used as cheap labour on the station had all run away.
