Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
This one is straight out of the Ripley’s believe it or not basket. The last race at the Mudgee non-TAB meeting yesterday was the feature event of the day, the Black Nugget Cup. It was set down to be run over 1850m. Somehow the track staff, presumably under the supervision of the starter, placed the […]
At a time when Racing NSW is under fire from all quarters and is an has been referred for consideration of contempt before a State Parliamentary Inquiry, you’d think that great care would be taken in the process for appointing new members to the organization’s board, particularly given the trenchant criticisms (warranted or not) that […]
Further to our story yesterday about one M. Currie trained galloper setting a brutal speed in front that was perfect for it stablemate who came from behind and won, here is the official Stewards report as it relates to the matter. Depth Charge Began awkwardly. Stewards inquired into the tactics adopted on the gelding, specifically […]
Good morning Peter Profit The Steward-in -charge in Central-West QLD should be sacked. The things that has happened since they arrived here have been a joke.. You can’t be a Steward and still be everyone’s friend like this one tries to be, its an impediment to properly performing your job. There have been disqualified people […]
The Steward’s don’t agree with me, but they couldn’t write a coherent report if their lives depended on it, so who’d listen to them? Craig Williams dropped his hands on Growing Empire in the final few strides of the Manikato on Friday night, and it arguably cost him the race. Even if it didn’t, it […]
Apol0gies to readers for the dearth of stories this week. It’s been due to circumstances. Things will be back to normal next week. Someone’s gotta keep the bastard’s honest. It might as well be us.
Is it true that a very junior QRIC steward in charge of a recent meeting in Central QLD tried to direct a Sky Racing cameraman to dismount from his vantage point and walk 400m away to chase away several kangaroos from the edge of the course proper while the horses were behind the barriers preparing […]
The word is that Four Corners are doing a feature on Peter V’Landys. It’s not expected to be complimentary. Why do the ABC take such joy in cutting a bloke who should have a Group 1 named after him down? Is it related to V’Landys suing them for defamation over the knackery story? What’s the […]
First we had Rhinoceros. Then we had Elephant. And now he have Aarvark. What is this moronic trend of naming racehorses after slow, ugly animals? How do the owners who name them ever expect to win a Melbourne Cup? Don’t the nongs know that only 2 animals have ever won the Melbourne Cup, and one […]
A quintet of Aussie scientists including Dr Adam Cawley from the Australian Racing Forensic Laboratory have cracked the Da Vinci Code. They’ve found a fast, cheap and accurate way to test swabs for EPO. Their test detects follistatin (FST), growth hormone 1 (GH1), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF1), and interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL1RN) too, which pretty […]
