Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
An Anthony and Sam Freedman trained horse ran in a jump-out at Mornington yesterday. I don’t know it’s name. It walked off the track and dropped dead. Strange thing for a healthy horse to do isn’t it? You ever read our stories on the site about how some trainers drug horses up during their preps […]
Bloody things 😂🤮 Two jocks have done a great job here 💪🏼 https://t.co/TyFHOv0dZN — Amy Yargi (@ajbloodstock) August 15, 2023 Thanks to an eagle eyed reader for sending this one in. It’s a good question isn’t it?
Arsenic is not regarded as performance enhancing, but its presence at levels above the threshold is regarded as likely to be injurious to the health and welfare of a horse.

As you may recall, Birchley was the innocent victim of the Aquanita purge, a man accused of racing crimes that he didn’t commit and never did. He was […]
The winner of the 3rd race at Eagle Farm yesterday Hot Spring Gold was the biggest tip of the day. It was backed for a fortune, and duly saluted. Punters who look at form guides or watch races or both scratched their heads in wonder, and screamed why, why, why? You can’t blame them. Hot […]
My favourite crazy galloper Flash Aah, the horse named after the Queen sung theme song from the uber cool and kitsch movie Flash Gordon (as opposed to Flesh Gordon the porno), makes his return to Queensland (pardon the pun) after a couple of Melbourne campaigns in the time honoured Cleveland Bay handicap at Townsville today.

Gareth Hall: "Are you concerned that you are losing the faith of the industry participants?" Andrew Jones: "No, it doesn't worry me." 🤔 pic.twitter.com/l8q8QmHm6t — SENTrack (@SEN_track) August 9, 2023 This Andrew Jones bloke is incredibly stupid in my opinion. Who the hell does he think he is? The industry having no faith in him […]
WINNER OF TWO INTER DOMINION TROTTING CHAMPIONSHIPS (TR.TT1:55.6) Foaled in 1977 of pacing lineage, Scotch Notch became the trotting enigma of her time, with breeding experts puzzling over her pedigree for years. However, her trotting instincts are still as much a puzzle now as they were two to three decades ago. Her sire was the […]
