Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Ben Currie’s appeal against being the first strapper to ever get put out on a presentation charge for which a horse’s trainer has been found guilty will be heard in the Racing Appeals Panel courtroom today, and it is a seminal moment in the history of racing. As most know, the Stewards have disqualified Currie […]

Racing Victoria’s CEO Andrew ‘Bones’ Jones showed great promise during the month after his appointment, but it soon proved to be all puff and smoke and mirror and one two handed wankery.

Things have changed now. The Courier-Mail hardly has any racing writers left at all, and there are no editors. That’s […]
In a sensation Sky Racing personality Chynna Marston has this week been placed on the Racing NSW exclusion due due to animal welfare concerns. As a person on the exclusion list Marston is not permitted to be provided with any retired thoroughbred that has been domiciled in NSW for the majority of their life, or […]
