Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
When an ex-jockey who threatened to kill his father and smeared faeces across a police cell appeared in court via video link, he was part way through a workout, using a chair in the jail room. It was a bizarre beginning to the sentencing of 48-year-old Pie Creek resident and racing identity Daniel Steven Munce, […]
Instead I am just a mug punter and racing writer, who some people say doesn’t know shit from clay. We are all wrong sometimes. Giddy up. Anyone got a saddle? Kiss my arse.
Dear NSW Racing Industry Participants, One of the main Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) of a public company is the dividends it pays to its shareholders. In the racing industry, the equivalent KPI is the total returns paid to participants. Accordingly, it should bring great satisfaction and pride to NSW participants that the thoroughbred racing industry […]
Mr H is your classic problem gambler. A pulsie, a desperate, and an addict. I know heaps of them. Many of by best mates are. It’s not a knock. These otherwise good Australians are just sick, and hate and love it in equal parts, but no matter what they do, or how long they stay […]
Do the QRIC have a clue about what is going on within their own organization? The evidence says not. What you see at the top is an extract from the March edition of Race Magazine, the QLD racing calendar aka the bible. The magazine is published by Racing Queensland, but the information in the picture […]
Four and a half years ago Albion Square raced in the Listed Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot, after having broken his maiden the previous start at Navan (IRE). Next he went to the Curragh, and ran in a Group 2, then he went to Naas for a Group 1 race, back to the Curragh for […]

In what other discipline except for perhaps lawn bowls does an athlete hit their peak when they are in their mid-40’s? Most in all codes are well and truly retired by then. Not at the trots. Bulletproof Boy is somewhere around 45 years of age in human terms. […]
You don’t want to knock sponsors, for they very generously put money into racing and we thank them for ot. But the track they used to call Warwick. Picklebet Park? Is that the silliest name for a racecourse you’ve ever heard? Maybe it’s just me, but I think so. What next? The Big Mac back […]
It’s a strange notice this one issued by Racing NSW. Are these people doggers or what? Are they the same person? We know that Terry Green is a drug addict, because back in 2018 he threw his sixth personal positive swab, and got outed for five years. Green’s time’s up, but with that sort of […]
Everyone with a vested interest want to blame Peter V’Landys for what they perceive to be the problem with NSW racing. They are the same people who keep sending their horses to be trained by Chris Waller. It’s not Waller’s fault either. Greed is. Racing has always been an indivualist’s game. A dog v dog, […]
