Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Determined to avoid the hottest part of the day, Racing SA has pushed back the starting time of Saturday’s meeting at Murray Bridge by three hours. With a top temperature of 42 degrees forecast at 1.30pm and then a cool change taking effect in the evening, the first race has been moved from 12.17pm to […]
It’s not often we agree with Robbie Waterhouse, because in our previous relationship with him we formed the view that he was a tight arse, manipulating K. Hunt who only wanted to know you if there was something in it for him, and if you kissed his arse like the smart arse ‘expert’ Twitter commentator […]
Former trailblazing jockey and now career development officer for Racing SA Clare Lindop offers her opinion on Racenet that our sport has a real problem with the lack of young men who are seeking to become apprentice jockeys and make it their profession. I totally agree with what Clare says, but sadly she doesn’t look […]
There is no doubt that Spritualised is an extremely talented a horse, a potential topliner one day perhaps. But three weeks ago it ran last in a race at Eagle Farm beaten by 20 lengths. Rider James Orman told Stewards that he thought it had choked down, which is strange because Orman was looking at […]
What a wonderful gesture of mate ship and respect is by Will Hulbert to train his sadly lost mate’s horses for free and give the prizemoney to his widow and kids. I didn’t know the bloke, but it sounds like the thing Dave Garrett’s would have done. Praise doesn’t get any bigger than that. My […]
Well, you could say you’re PeterSay you’re PaulDon’t put me up on your bedroom wallCall me king of the mountain They ran the much vaunted $750 000 King of the Mountain slot race at Toowoomba last night, For all it was worth they might as well just have run it in some wheat farmer’s back […]
Are the Sydney stewards stupid or something? How could they possibly be sure that Nash Rawiller and Reece Jones didn’t use their mobile phones in the jockeys room unless they seized them and had them forensically examined? Anyone can delete their calls and then show the stipes a blank call list on their phone. It’s […]
In the greatest comeback since Lazarus, Darryl Griffiths was recently appointed as the QRIC Chairman of Stewards in North QLD. Perhaps it would have been better if they had appointed someone who actually knew the rules. Griffiths presided at the race meeting at Townsville on the 20th of December. He and his panel gave Nathan […]
Leading Far North QLD bookie Brian Jorgensen and his best mate the big punter and cabaret singer Winton Veall (pictured above) were spotted having a very, very long lunch at Cairns best Italian restaurant La Romana on Friday afternoon, a meal that stretched into the evening. The good oil is that they were talking over […]
The Alligator Blood court case has been resolved for the moment (in Alligator Al’s favor), but Alligator’s never sleep. So the hot mail out of Randwick is that the champ’s being set for the sweep. The Alligator will campaign in Melbourne first during the autumn and he will be targeted at the CF Orr Stakes, […]
