Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The Lester is a great idea, and we support it fully. A $500,000 winner-takes-all slot race to honour the late, legendary horse racing identity Deane Lester has been proposed to be raced at Cranbourne in November. The new race, to be known as “The Lester”, would have slots available to Cranbourne trainers only and for horses trained […]
The Butcher – Zaid Miller – is the bloke who was paying Tommy Berry for tips. Like Berry, Butch was put out for 12 months on a DQ. Both men appealed, and they both lost. However the Chairman of the Appeals Panel had some very strange things to say about Butch. I will quote them. […]
That was…an interesting ride from J Kah on Rosetown Princess — Adam Page (@Page1991Adam) September 7, 2023 There is huge unrest around the place about the ride of Jamie Kah on the heavily backed $2.25 into $1.50 favourite in the 3rd race at Cranbourne yesterday, with some – not me – even going as far […]
Well that DT Crimmins is one of nature’s gentleman, in general the nicest, most genuine, and generous man in the world, despite his somewhat quirky eccentricities, which even if I explained you wouldn’t believe, so I won’t bother. Just take as read that despite being a bookie D. Crimmins is a great bloke. There is […]
It’s a cracker of a meeting at Melton this weekend with the semi-finals of the Breeders Crown series at various ages and sexes filling the massive 12 race card. Emma Stewart dominates the entries with 36 horses nominated across 11 of the semis, and she can be expected to win a minimum of 5 of […]
There is something wrong with this picture isn’t there? A couple of things in fact. One is that Queensland is running far too many meetings on a Saturday, a ridiculous number in fact. It’s the reason that the prizemoney up here is so far below Sydney and Melbourne, because we are spreading it too thin. […]
It was a big day out for Tony Gollan at Eagle Farm yesterday landing 4 winners and 2 seconds to go home smiling. Gollan’s winners were $12, $4.80, $2.80 and $1.40. Kyle Wilson-Taylor continued his present hot streak by riding a double, with both his winners starting at $5.00. The Maher-Eustace combination did what trainers […]
I have come to the sad conclusion that there is nothing you say about the the QRIC Stewards and nothing you can do, except shake your head, close your eyes and dream about the days of Pat Lalor and John Schreck, back when Stipes were Stipes and there was a job to be done and […]
Bollente is the last start Brisbane winner who was entered in the Birdsville Cup to compress the weights to give its stablemate a massive advantage on the handicaps, and then scratched 15 minutes after the trainer Nick Walsh had accepted it into the race. After we highlighted this rule breaking trick in a story on […]
More than 8 is the obvious answer. On Friday at Birdsville a six start maiden galloper named Secret Tears, who had never finished closer than 6th a race before, ran true to form and was beaten 28 lengths into ninth place in a maiden. The very next day it was backed from $26 into $12 […]
