Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
We have written quite a bit lately about Ben Talbot, the brother of the brumbie killer Adrian Talbot. One of the stories we wrote was about the sudden weight loss in dogs that come into Ben Talbot’s kennel, and start to eat lean meat that ain’t beef. A dog called Scathing was one of those […]
LEGEND dog man Jimmy Coleman remembers it like it was yesterday. “Christine and I were at Wentworth Park and this young football bloke called Terry Hill, I think he was 17 then, approached us to train a dog for him,” Coleman said. “He’d only just got his driver’s license but he already had a greyhound. […]
Ben Talbot is the Chairperson of the Wagga Greyhound Club. He is also the brother of Adrian Talbot, the person at the centre of the storm surrounding the discovery of the carcasses of 500 dead horses buried on or next to his property outside Wagga. Adrian Talbot is widely said to have been slaughtering brumbies […]
In January 2018 a greyhound named Better Cruise trained by Ben Talbot raced at Wagga. Better Cruise tried to fight or bite another dog during the race, an action which is known as marring. After being inspected by the on-course vet after the race, the dog was found to have no injury or physical problem […]
Masters racing was introduced in Australia as a measure to afford older 42 month old or older greyhounds the opportunity to extend their racing careers years past the age when they used to retire. The concept is simple, or should be. Dogs run in races against others their age, and do it in when possible […]
Since when did the Brisbane Greyhound Racing Club run the Rockhampton Dogs? I am sure President Les Bein and CEO Luke Gatehouse will be surprised to find that out. They have back up lure drivers at Albion Park I believe. QRIC can’t even get it right when they’re wrong. Geniuses they are.
We told you before the 8th race at the Rockhampton dogs on Wednesday night that the meeting would be abandoned because the casual lure driver had been called into work at his main job in the mines after others rang in sick. It seems of course that we were spot on. This leaves three questions […]
The 12 race card at the Rockhampton greyhound meeting has been abandoned after just 8 races, just as tipped. Here is why. Sit down before you read this. The reason was that the lure driver got called in to go to work. Not this side hustle steering a fake bunny around the track. To his […]
It’s 9.43pm and race 8 at the Rockhampton dogs has just been run. There is a huge tip floating around that the meeting is about to be abandoned, for a reason that is scarcely believable in an multi hundreds of million dollar industry. I will tell you why if the tip proves correct.
The greyhound meeting at Sandown Park on Sunday looked suspiciously like a gallops program run on the poly track at the Gold Coast. There were 9 races run on the program. Only one of them had a full field of eight starters. One other had 7 runners. All the rest had fields of 6 or […]
