Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
I’m told that Paul Eriksson is one of those blokes who used to run Enron. The smartest man in the room. In fact we will nickname him Enron right here and now. Back in around June/July a serious complaint was lodged by the usually mild mannered Launceston Greyhound Club (LGC), who claimed that Enron behaved […]
See the blokes on the far right in the crowd watching the first race at the Burnie trots last Friday night? They’re associated with the Ben Yole stable. See the man in the white long sleeved shirt? That is the Chief Steward Roger Brown, who is chairing the Stewards panel at the meeting. What is Brown […]
Ben Yole earns $11 in prizemoney for every $9 that the other nine trainers in the top ten earn combined, which is no surprise at all because Yole produces three times as many starters each week as the rest of them put together. Based on these numbers then, Tasracing’s seemingly crazed announcement to pour another […]
There are many things you can say about John ‘Hollywood’ McMullen, and one is that no matter what the handicap was, he’d never weigh in light. Which is why it’s lucky that pacers and trotters aren’t handicapped by weight, for Hollywood would have never won all those premierships in the 80’s if they were. It […]
The former chief executive officer of TasRacing resigned for “personal reasons” just two months after a workplace culture review delivered a scathing assessment of the organisation’s senior leaders. Now, he is running the national peak body for racing in Australia. Paul Eriksson, who was appointed as CEO of TasRacing in 2019, resigned in June despite extending his contract with […]
Last night at Hobart the State’s leading trainer Ben Yole had 37 runners across 5 races on the 10 race card. He won just one of them, in a race in which he had 9 of the 12 starters. Ben Yole is a brilliant trainer they say. Some people say Elvis is still alive and […]
I didn’t miss it. I am just stupid, even if you try to stooge me into looking like I am. The link goes to the story reproduced below. I think this person was trying to have me believe that it’s Rohan Hillier the trot driver. It’s not. Benny’s y’all old boys must be hard at […]
Ben Yole trained 60 of the 86 runners on eight race card at Launceston last night. That is more than 2 out of every 3 starters. Yole trained the card. With a weight of those numbers it was inevitable that he’d do so some day. A whole lot of people are praising Chainsaw and patting […]
Tasmania’s leading greyhound trainer and king of cruelty Anthony Bullock is noticeably absent for the 2nd meeting this week. Bullock never misses a meeting. There is a big storm blowing, but for the moment I can’t tell you why. Watch this space though. And batten down the hatches.
Tasmania’s premiership winning greyhound trainer Anthony Bullock, the man who hangs Ben Yole’s shot horses from trees to drain their blood before cutting them up with a chainsaw and feeding them to his dogs, always has multiple entries at each greyhound meeting that held in the State. There is a meeting at Launceston tonight. Bullock […]
