Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Archie Re: Tom Charlton and one out both out. This applies to offences which can be attributed to the trainer of a horse – i.e. positive swabs etc – both are considered the trainer therefore both are out. The charge against Mr O’Shea was an individual charge that could be levelled against any licensed participant, […]
The Tanya Parry trainer Rock On Angel – who certainly isn’t – refused to parade before her race at Mt Isa on the weekend. After a lot of persuasion jockey Masa Abe coaxed her to do the barriers. When she arrived there she started rearing like a mad thing and flung him in the air. […]
You would think that one of the main ideas of race programming would be to attract the largest crowd possible to the track wouldn’t you? You would be wrong. The NSW town of Goulburn has a population of about 25 000. Like in other towns the percentage of people willing to go to the races […]

What Princess from the Kingdom of the Tree of Knowledge wouldn’t want to meet a man named Terry who is hung like a horse, or hangs off one holding a […]
The grey horse is One More Bout. It was gone by the 200m mark, and finished well out of the placings. Sadly for the hopes of those who backed the only silver colored horse in the race, the hapless Sky channel race caller declared it the winner. That is what we used to call back […]
The wheels seem to have spun off old mate Bodine ‘BoBo’ Bailey’s wagon ever since he and his cocaine loving lawyer Corey ‘CeeCee’ Cullen threatened to sue us for a quarter of a million dollars unless we paid then 10 grand for nothing, and then didn’t follow through when we asked them for more information […]
