Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The Thrill of the Chase is a really brilliant program commissioned by Greyhound Racing Victoria and broadcast on demand on Seven Plus.

What happened next when the Stewards swept the gross error under the carpet and declared the rake a race was something worse. There are so many […]
I told you ten days ago that Steve Fletcher’s former commission agent turned NSW Deputy Chief Gallops Steward Wade ‘Lurch’ Birch was soon to be leaving that role to take up the job of top cop at the dogs. As always, our mail was delivered early and in a packet marked CORRECT. Yesterday the […]
