Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
I have a crack at the activists standing out the front of racecourses every time I see them, just like I line up and give it to the cold hearted cowards who stand in front of abortion clinics in the name of God and call 14-year-old rape victims who are gong to get the devil’s […]
Matt Tripp should have the Edge Hill kid running his book. He knows how to count. The hot word from out sources down south inside Sportsbet is that the floundering and flailing BetR CEO Matthew Tripp has stuffed up big time with his $101 odds Melbourne Cup promo, and is under huge pressure from his […]
You pretty much have to be a Pom or a Kiwi, or to have spent extended time in either, to appreciate the humour of Chris Waller and Charlie Duckworth, but once you realise that the pair are both personally close and extremely well matched friends, and together as a duo very fucking funny. I don’t […]
Why the hell in the modern age does Racing Victoria sanction and support the holding of an divisive event like a racing mass to celebrate the Spring Carnival? Mass is a Catholic thing. Only 20 percent of Australians identify as Catholic. About 1/6th of them attend church, which means that only 3% of Australians do, […]

Colin Lennon is the author of the message you see above. You remember Col. He is the barely coordinated jockey who beats up horses in trials while desperately trying not to fall off (see below). The one who copped a week suspension and a $300 fine for it. Crack That Whip – Kick This Flogger […]
It’s a huge weekend for two prominent readers of peteprofit.com. Courtesy of PVL and a call I made Melbourne Merv will be in the Chairman’s Lounge at Randwick cheering his star colt Sharp N Smart home in the $2 million Spring Champion Stakes. Kingston Town has won this race, and a host of other champions […]
We all read today about how the Ipswich race track has problems at the 1400m mark due to trees that no-one can see. Now we learn that the 1350 start is out of action as they perform remedial work on the chute. Races scheduled to be run over that distance have to be altered. So […]
The latest excuse from the Ipswich Turf Club for the appalling state of the track after a $30 million rebuild is that the trees at the 1400m mark are blocking the sun. Sadly there is just one problem with the proposition, and it is a rather biggish sort of one. There aren’t any trees on […]
