Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Do you remember the series of stories we wrote about a bloke named Adrian Talbot, the brother of the Wagga Greyhound Racing Club chairman Ben Talbot, and how he was running an illegal operation that slaughtered unwanted racehorses to convert them into dog meat? https://peterprofit.com/?s=adrian+talbot A Horse of Course – The Great GWIC Brumby Meat […]
Three days ago we asked a rhetorical question about whether five SA greyhound Stewards had been stood down. I say rhetorical because we already knew the answer, but to be on the safe side were just awaiting double confirmation that our mail was correct. It was. Apparently Channel 7 broke the news “exclusively” a few […]
Rumors are floating up from south of the Murray that a number of SA greyhound stewards have been stood down from work after allegations were made that they have been betting on dog races themselves. There are also rumors that swabs either aren’t being performed or not being conducted correctly. We have been unable to […]
Lorenzo Carbone is a registered Victorian greyhound trainer and owner, who has most of the dogs he owns trained by others. He is also a man who is active on Betfair. During the year 2021 Carbone had seven of his dogs race for one or more of these other trainers. Most if not all of […]
Stavros Kipirtidis is an old Greek dog trainer from Melbourne. He is a bit of a rogue, but this is racing, aren’t we all? One of Stav’s dogs threw a positive swab to hydrocortisone, which is a steroid but nothing like stanozolol or big time performance enhancers like that. It’s the medicine my daughter takes […]
Greyhound Racing NSW seem to be acting a bit silly by refusing the NSW State Government’s $10 million compensation offer when its lease on Wentworth Park expires next year. After all, what tenant in the world gets paid a 7 figure sum by their landlord when their tenancy agreement ends? Most people struggle just to […]
Graham James is a Victorian greyhound, owner and breeder. He bred, owned and trained a slow dog named Baba Bear. It has one start, in a maiden at Ballarat, and finished a well beaten sixth. James claims he was contacted out of the blue by a bloke from South Australia named Shaun Ciavarella, an unlicensed […]
When you can. How hard is it to prepare a sand dog track properly? Especially on a long established course. Rockhampton’s failure to do so is a disgrace. If they don’t lift their act the Rocky club’s license is surely in danger. This just ain’t good enough. At all.
You all know my opinion of the city of Rockhampton in general. This just confirms it. Licensed race clubs have an obligation to make sure their tracks are suitable to race on. The dog club in Rocky didn’t meet that obligation. How ordinary is this? It is just not good enough. Shame, shame, shame.
As far as I am aware my childhood mate J.Catton didn’t have a cent on Lucky Hero that night. My other lifelong friend M. Cranitch didn’t either, despite me both telling them to. They were the owner and trainer. What would I know though? Only how to work out greyhound form. And how to get […]
