Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Bevan ‘Billy’ Johnson took just five horses up the The Isa yesterday. He was up against it because local trainer Tanya Parry had 25 of the 36 runners on the program. Shryn Royes saddled up the other six. There wasn’t another trainer to be seen for miles. Billy won three races, and ran seconds in […]
When I was a kid almost half a century ago my grandfather used to take me to the Albion Park races. Gallops not trots. The Creek was a sand track back then, and was where they raced when the gallops tracks were too wet. Barely a meeting was ever cancelled due to the weather, not […]
Archie Falls that break everyone’s heart have come again in another wave, but there’s a few key points in my opinion as to why they’re happening. Due to deficiencies in their training and education, there’s no race craft any more with a lot of jocks. It’s just a case of jumping out of the gates […]
I am getting sick of hearing of falls in races all over the place. Kids are in hospital in critical condition, with their parents praying and crying by their sides. Blokes of grandfather age like me are holed up in them too, with non-life threatening but debilitating injuries like Jason Babarovich. Racing is a dangerous […]
Want to see a future Group 1 horse? Here it is at just its third start. Confucious Flyer is its name. It is a dead set freak, the next Special or Redelva, or some sprinter like that. I wouldn’t put The Everest beyond it. The 1000m track record at Morphettville has stood for 20 years,. […]
Replay says it all… Tim from Taree Have a look at Globe Derby race one. Gaita should get life for that drive, Regards Albert from Alta Downs Tell me how they both don’t get life. Race 1 Globe Derby. That’s a fucking disgrace. Aren’t the Pullicino’s suddenly flying. They have clearly had a delivery run. […]
You hear a great many things about the seeming minnow turned mammoth bookmaker Swiftbet, mainly that the outfit’s front person Natalie Hinkley owns only a very tiny slice. If the ASIC records are correct, I find that quite hard to believe. The company register shows that the Card of the Call of the Card last […]
The biggest go all week at Flemington was Torsheen in the very last race of the carniva, $20 into $4.60 it was on the world pool, and even lower with the bookies. And all of it was real money we are told, plenty of it in cash. They threw the kitchen sink at it. Sadly […]
Rich0 I can’t cop Jason Richardson as a rule, especially on Saturdays on Channel Seven. No disrespect to the bloke, but he’s just not my type. Most people aren’t. But gee he was brilliant hosting the Call of the Card. You wouldn’t have anyone else. The Coolest Cat in the Country Ciaron Maher obviously. It’s […]
Horse trainer Taige Weir is tainted by many due to the fact she is Darren’s daughter, and the doubters believe that she bowls for him, which is simply not true. Taige is a gun, and her success has nothing to do with her father except by teaching. I came across this young woman for the […]
