Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Race 3 at Barcaldine, 10th of June 2o23. The field gets to the 100m mark. And the screen goes blank. When the vision comes back on there are people running everywhere, and ambulances racing on to the track. The reason is because jockey Robbie Fraehr had taken a terrible fall 20 metres from home, has […]
Racing Victoria’s CEO Andrew ‘Bones’ Jones showed great promise during the month after his appointment, but it soon proved to be all puff and smoke and mirror and one two handed wankery. He is as useless as his predecessor the yuppie Giles Thompson, and as hard as it is to believe, probably worse. RV has […]
Matt has been my mate since were teens at the racetrack, and I love him. You would too if you knew him. About a decade ago his Mum was diagnosed with severe onset dementia, and all but one of his siblings wanted to put her in a nursing home because they claimed that they didn’t […]
For many years country QLD racing participants were denied the opportunity to watch their horses and others race at non-TAB meetings unless they attended the track, which was a disappointment to the many who love and support bush racing and keep it alive and flourishing.

The President of the rehoming charity that you started and now ‘volunteer’ at isn’t a big deal either? Chynna Marston is off with the pixies and living somewhere west of […]
The hot rumor on the track is that Chynna Marston has been sacked today by Sky Channel. We are waiting for confirmation, but our sources on this one are very rarely wrong. All you can say if it is true is that she brought it all on herself, and deserved it. No-one who neglects horses […]
All the offices are closed at the moment so we cannot get official confirmation this evening, but the information we are receiving is that the ban relates to the severe malnourishment of a retired racehorse in her care that left the horse near death when discovered. Adding grist to the mill of concerns is that […]
On 2 July 2020 Chynna Marston was fined $10 o0o by then Racing NSW Chief Steward Marc Van Gestel for animal welfare offences. The penalty was suspended for 2 years on the basis that Marston did not reoffend. A condition was placed on her that she was not permitted to have any more than 16 horses […]
