Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
I’m sure that the syndicate of bloodstock folk who paid $300 000 f0r the Written Tycoon yearling half brother to black type winner Assimilate at the Magic Millions sale 2 years must have had high hopes for their expensive new colt. No doubt that’s why they sent him to Mick Price to prepare. They would […]
Moreton Bay dead? Crikey if it was dead 25 horses are having a run every meeting. The horse was that fat it looked like it was going to foal down in the enclosure pre race and ran accordingly, hence the drift. Clearly the Dale Evans running and handling inquiry has become the QRIC December KPI […]
If Jackson Murphy didn’t ride Moreton Bay stone cold dead in the 2nd race on the TAB card at Home Hill on Thursday then I’m not here. It was a hook job of epic Dale Evans proportions. Moreton Bay blew from $2.35 out to $4.00, and wasn’t trying at all. Murphy put the handbrake on […]
I am with you Archie, let us not forget!! The article Bruce Clark wrote, clearly about his ‘good’ mate – ‘Weir had an addiction to winning races’ : Waller – this has alarm bells ringing for me. Weir has no right to be given a license back, he was King Of The Castle and he […]
What has happened to famed Mareeba gallops trainer Roy Chillemi? The man from the tablelands who trains for major Cairns owner Tom Hedley hasn’t been seen at the track since the 7th of December, and all of the horses that he previously had now seem to be prepared by a little known Atherton trainer called […]
Gday Archie I quote the submissions tendered by Darren Weirs legal representative Ian Hill KC in a recent article you published. Editor’s note- this below Weir’s barrister, Ian Hill KC, said his client had offered to plead guilty nearly three years ago, but prosecutors rejected the offer and instead pursued conspiracy charges against Weir and […]
“Look there are obviously things that have been done that I wouldn’t agree with and I don’t know the full circumstances, but I’m not going to sit in judgment like others who want to hang him (Weir) out for life” – Jamie Lovett, Australian Bloodstock “He took it too far, he was obsessed with winning […]
For some unknown and to the best of my knowledge unannounced reason the 2 Saturday TAB race meetings at the Gold Coast following the Magic Millions meeting on the 13th of January have been cancelled. Why? Is there a problem with the new track? Someday soon we may find out.
The Christmas Cup on Saturday night was a most curious affair, a very odd one indeed. To me it looked for the world like a set up for the winner. That horse was Alta Revelry, which was smashed late in the betting from $15.00 into $8.50. It was driven by Pete ‘Noddy’ McMullen. The horse […]
As you can see from the official steward’s report above, the QLD stipes dismissed the protest 2nd against 1st in the 4th race at Doomben on Wednesday. They would have to be kidding wouldn’t they? The margin was a long head. The winner was the horse in the purple in the replays below, the runner-up […]
