Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
There was much conjecture that Japanese jockey Shuichi Terachi may have jumped off his mount at Port Augusta a couple of weeks ago. We came out and said that was nonsense, and declared that the kid fell not hauled off. Well guess what? The Stewards report is out now, and it is confirmed that the […]
More than one punter was skeptical about the fall below in the 7th at Port Augusta on Sunday. Some even suggested that the jockey in the dark blue colors 3rd the fence might have jumped. So to dispel these suspicions we went and asked a couple of decent riders of our acquaintance their opinion. The […]
Whatever happened to the million dollars that the SA Government pledged to spend to transform Gawler from a crazy shithole track to a metropolitan circuit with lights? Anyone seen a dinosaur lately?

I don’t know what it says, or what it is all about, but this clearly offensive graffiti appeared on disqualified trainer Luke O’Neill’s fence this morning.
