Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The Stewards had a busy night at Toowoomba on Saturday, with action aplenty. Trainer Jason Edwards copped a reprimand for not calling for a vet check after his runner at the previous Warwick meeting became cast in the tie up stalls. Heavyweight jockey Nick Keal was fined $200 for not wearing an approved safety vest […]
Wouldn’t you be upset if you had backed Candy Raider in the 6th race at Toowoomba on Saturday night. It had led, been passed, and kicked back, and looked the winner. Just as it did and the punters who backed it started counting the cash, Candy Raider broke its leg, or it looked like it […]

What the hell is going on with this inside training track at the Gold Coast? It’s semi-underwater, after less than half an inch of rain in the past 24 hours. https://www.eldersweather.com.au/history/qld/bundall Is the course proper drainage such that all the water pours over to the inside, or has the training track just been done on […]
The trials on the B Grass track at the Gold Coast this morning have been decimated by scratchings, with 18 of the scheduled 35 runners pulled out. This has left two of the trials on the B Grass with only a single runner in them. I hope their trainers weren’t aiming for a good hit […]
