Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The announcement of the NSW government’s plan to acquire Rosehill racecourse and turn it into a new housing estate should come as no great surprise to anyone, nor should Peter V’Landys presumed role as the mastermind and architect of the track’s sell off plan. After all, it’s widely known that PVL is a pragmatist who […]
Queensland gallops trainers are overjoyed to be finally returning to the grass at the Gold Coast, as highlighted by a massive 202 nominations for the 7 race card on the opening day of the brand new track at Aquis Park this weekend. It’s been a long haul for the trainers after such a long period […]
The QRIC’s new ‘targeted swabbing’ regime is pure genius. Pre-race swab horses in only 4 of the 7 races at the main meeting on Sundays, and test the riders instead. Just like they did at the Sunshine Coast yesterday. You will be pleased to know that no jockey put on the bag was pissed. We […]

This is race 2 at Cannon Park in Cairns this afternoon. Anything look familiar? I’ve got a tip. Tom Hedley’s horses will run the quinella, trifecta, quadrella, First 4 and 5th place too. I’ve got an even hotter one. The Hedley horse that is plunged wins. It’s a system I learnt from the sponsor, Mr […]
Irishman Kevin Connolly was director of racing at Tongshun. It was alleged the horses were slaughtered as a protest against the government’s refusal to legalise gambling on horse racing. While Connolly acknowledged there had been a cull, he was accused of attempting to downplay its scale. He told Godfrey: “All the horses have not been […]
We are informed by Mr Adams, who appears for the Respondent in today’s hearing, that the rail was in its true position at the relevant location and was only at plus 2 1/2 metres from the from the 600 metres to the 300 metre mark and thereafter remained in its true position. This was the […]
There is no doubt that Nikita Tszyu is an explosive puncher, and is clearly as tough as an old boot, but looking beyond the hype surrounding his win over Australian Super Welterweight champion Dylan Biggs you have to say that gee he has some fatal flaws that cast huge doubt over his future progress in […]
