Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
There is an unconfirmed rumor floating around that the builders on the Globe Derby site may have broken the law. The whisper is that they cut down trees with the wrong permit. Protected trees that needed the right one to be touched. If the whispered words are right its cost them a $43 000 fine. […]

Are the South Australian trot Stewards blind? Or are the blind simply those that don’t want to see? Kevin Weidenbach’s horse didn’t shift in and lock wheels with Dani Hill’s horse on the home turn. They were nowhere near each other on the bend. The two horses came together in the straight, when Hill’s drive […]

After viewing start the Stewards and the Starter claimed to be satisfied that BEWARE THE FURY had not been going forward until the barrier had been released. Yeah right. All […]
The disintegration of SA gallops trainer Ryan Balfour is complete. Racing South Australia have ruled that he is no longer a fit and proper person to hold a license. Balfour’s license has been cancelled, effective immediately. The license cancellation period is indefinite. He may reapply for a license in the future, but I wouldn’t like […]
The South Australian training master of the long priced plunge ‘Super Mario’ Borg did it again at Globe Derby yesterday when his horse Levi Jimmy landed the cash in the 8th race after being backed from $23.00 into $5.50. Levi Jimmy hadn’t won a race in his previous 25 starts and was coming off recent […]
There are reports that Lil Lenny, the runner-up in the 2nd at Globe Derby yesterday, broke a knee during the race or in the run on after they passed the winning post. Lil Lenny was a 4yo gelding having its first race start. The serious injury may have just been the result of bad luck, […]
