Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
We told you way back in January 2023 that Nick Walsh was a drug cheat. His strike rates were just too incredible for him to be anything else. When something looks too good to be true it usually is. Walsh got caught with the banned performance enhancing anabolic steroid Stanozolol in one of horse’s systems. […]
“Nick who?” you ask. The young trainer whose record over the past 12 months is 93 starters for 41 wins, 19 seconds and 9 thirds. That’s almost 100 runners for a strike rate of 44.1% the win and 74.2% the place. Walsh is doing even better this season. 42 starts – 21 wins and 11 […]
There are five races schedules for Innisfail on Saturday afternoon. Here are the nomination numbers: R1 – 5 R2 – 6 R3 – 15 (max 12 starters) R4 – 8 R5 – 5 https://racingaustralia.horse/FreeFields/Nominations.aspx?Key=2025Jun21%2CQLD%2CInnisfail N0w if these nominations turn into acceptances there is going to be a problem. It’s highly probable that no more than […]
Was anyone surprised when Kobe Rocks turned up to the Longreach meeting lame on Monday and had to be scratched? After all we are talking about a horse here who got beaten almost 10 lengths first up and then tailed out a long last beaten 22 lengths at the run after that. He should have […]
Something seems to be afoot in the Nick Walsh camp. His best galloper Hell was yesterday transferred into the care of the horse basher and doper trainer Tom Smith. Walsh’s recent winner Daimyo was too. Both horses have different connections so it’s unlikely to be due to an ownership dispute. More likely it has to […]
The buffoons at the Brisbane Racing Club can’t seem to get their track right, which is little surprise to anyone. They can’t even get their own track records correct. Most of the times that appeared as records in the race book for yesterday’s Stradbroke meeting were wrong. So are those that appear on the BRC […]
David Fowler grew a pair of stones and had a crack at calling the winner of the photo in the Q22. He called it wrong of course. Anyone could see the outside won. But at least he tried.
The Melbourne Racing Club (MRC) has announced that sacked CEO Tom Reilly will not be replaced, and that John Kanga has assumed the role of Executive Chairman and will, aided by the newly appointed to the specially created role for her Chief Operating Officer Tanya Fullarton, be running the club in his place. That’s all […]
Ray Thomas obviously thinks the phrase Spot The Aussie is okay because he used it today for the headline of one of his stories today on Racenet, but we don’t. It’s downright racist, and Racing Australia should demand that the owners of the horse by the same name that you see at the top of […]
It seems we aren’t the only ones who hold the concerns we expressed in our story yesterday about the appointments to senior roles in the Melbourne Racing Club of people with close links to owner activist and Kanga supporter Jonathon Munz. MRC Director Barb Saunders didn’t mention either Munz or Kanga by name when she […]
