I love her. Beaver got her start at the Birdsville races in 2010 when she was working as a security guard. She joined Fred Brophy’s travelling boxing tent and won 240 plus fights, against women and blokes. There has […]
This is the Stewards report from the meeting at which all the races were put back hours. The stipes say that the reason was to accommodate for the race day clerks to arrive on course. Where do they live? Mars? A better question might be who their relatives are, blood or otherwise. In any event, […]
THE shenanigans of four protestors chaining themselves to the running rail at Cannington on Saturday night threw the night’s racing schedule into chaos. While all the attention on Perth was at Optus Stadium, very little air time has been given to the lunatics who were promptly marched away by police. The police arrived from Cannington […]

It is only a little thing to most, but to journalists and racing writers it’s huge. Imagine if you discovered something that would extend your life by 10 years. It would be worth a fortune, and you would be rich beyond compare. Unless someone stole it from you, and became rich instead. Little shitty stories […]
