Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Bruce Clark’s racenet columns in recent times have been very hard to digest and understand. That’s because they don’t make any sense. Gobbledegook rarely does. He doesn’t get any better this week. Just listen to this shit. Darren Weir was not an animal abuser Snowy claims. He kept a living bird aviary as solace from the […]
The former chief executive officer of TasRacing resigned for “personal reasons” just two months after a workplace culture review delivered a scathing assessment of the organisation’s senior leaders. Now, he is running the national peak body for racing in Australia. Paul Eriksson, who was appointed as CEO of TasRacing in 2019, resigned in June despite extending his contract with […]
IN the next few hours the Tasmanian Govt – via TasRacing – are going to release a report into certain matters that occurred under former CEO Paul Eriksson’s watch. Eriksson of course is the man who walked out of Tassie under an unreported (by anyone but us) cloud, and waltzed straight into the job of […]
The Ric McMahon case comes on for mention in the Magistrates Court this morning. We are told by our friends in the north that the great racing man Wally Tutt, a former District Court judge who is making a comeback to the law as a solicitor after many years post being forced by his age […]
This jockey wasn’t caught with a jigger. The charges are based on the pictures taken by an innocent, well meaning photographer that were spotted by us, and published in a story on this website. In the absence of admissions or lag ups, this the best the prosecution got. Which means that the whole case hinges […]
Well we were wrong about Neil Boyle being a Steward in QLD, but not by far, and we are not wrong about the rest. Boyle is now a Steward in Northern NSW. I bet PVL didn’t know that he used jiggers as a trainer when he appointed him. It gets worse. Since we published the […]
Without the benefit of a head on film we can’t be sure exactly what happened to cause the fall in the 4th at Caloundra on Sunday, but it appears to me that either Bubba Tilley or Taylor Marshall – or both – were at fault. Tilley, who was leading, appears to have drifted off the […]
The usual suspects who hate the clan claim that Mark Currie’s strike rate has exploded up since his son boom-boom Benny – aka the Tornado – was allowed by the Stewards to return to the fold as a stable hand, with the inference being that somehow they are cheating, with Ben pulling the rorts. It […]
I don’t think Australian’s understand the importance of the top hat at Royal Ascot. It is a crucial piece of attire required for the gentlemen to fit into place at the week-long festival of racing at the Royal meeting. Sir Henry Cecil’s top hat was perhaps one of the most famous and most regal head […]
Tyler’s Tribe is running in the Breeders Cup Juvenile on Turf this weekend, one of the top 2YO races in the North American racing world. Once you read the touching back story of the horse, you will be cheering for is as hard as me. Go get ’em boy. Kick their arse, just like the […]
