Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The $10 000 Stawell Toyota Pleasant Creek Final was the feature race on the Stawell program last Friday. To qualify for the final horses had to run in one of the two heats run as the first two races on the card, but here is where is gets slightly odd. Instead of having ten or […]
How good are the TAB? Not. At 2.15 on Wednesday the screenshot you see on the left was their comment about Point Barrow ‘s chances in the Oakleigh Plate. The horse they have favorite at $3.10 to win the race. This looks too tough too they said. By 5.30pm their opinion had changed. Now all […]
The TAB are as usual ont0 it. Not. They have Robbie Dolan riding at Eagle Farm tomorrow. It would be a good trick. The poor kid is in hospital with his arm in traction after breaking his hand on Saturday afternoon in a fall at the Sunshine Coast. Yet three days later the TAB seem […]
Warwoven is currently $2.10 on the TAB, which is not the sort of price that anyone would want to be taking about a 2YO that has twice been tested as lame on the day before the race. It should be $10.00 and blowing, but no-one is game to make the call. Or maybe they just […]

David Fowler called the placings wrong in the controversial race at Doomben yesterday that the TAB and bookies are paying out on the wrong results. What else would you expect?
