Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
No that’s not him luv. This is a true story. Every word in the exchange and we quote and that the judge said is documented in the published decision of the NSW Supreme Court from which it was sourced. Only the names have been changed. Who needs script writers when real life is as good […]
When pressed on the likelihood of McLachlan getting the top job at Racing Victoria, V’landys had nothing but praise. “I think Gill McLachlan will do a brilliant job,” V’landys said. “He is one of the leading sports administrators in the world, so Racing Victoria will be very fortunate if they get him as chairman. “I […]
There have been a lot of knocks on the Racing Victoria Chairman elect Gillon McLachlan, most of them being that he lacks the racing experience to stand up toe to toe with Peter V’Landys in the internecine war between the two veto holding states on the Racing Australia board.

Does anyone remember this dickhead pictured above Simon Blackburn? He’s the Melbourne tradie tosser who got kicked off the TV show Married At First Sight (MAFS) after making a bunch of racist, sexist, homophobic rants on Tik Tok and other social media, the sort of bloke that you wouldn’t pay two cents for, or for […]

One of the country’s top horse trainers allegedly mocked an Indian stablehand’s accent and told him and other employees to speak proper English while at work. In one instance Stephen McKee even told the other man, “It wouldn’t matter if an Indian died, there would still be a billion left” after he’d nearly been kicked […]
