Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
What you are looking at is the horses in the Shoot Out at Doomben on Saturday passing over the crossing where Orbisyn died just two races before. The Shoot Out was the only race on the card that went a full lap, so it’s the only race we can use to show the crossing in […]
You’d have to think Rothfire will win the King of the Mountain at Toowoomba today on its ear wouldn’t you, despite the dual handicaps of 60kg and the extreme outside barrier of 12. With the class edge he has on these the Heathcoate trained Group 1 and 5 times Group 2 winner could beat these […]
This is the official stewards report into the Orbisyn incident. It was finally published around lunchtime yesterday, the day after the meeting and the horse’s fatal fall. At least it’s accurate. The question now is whether the QRIC will launch an investigation into the safety of the Doomben crossing. It should, but there is no […]
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 […]
