Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
I don’t really understand this. Robbie Morris’s driving tactics on the odds on favorite Funky Monkey in the trot last night at Menangle have been queried. Why? I am guessing that the answer would be that t 3-wide on Dontouch The Duco on the turn, that theory being that if had then Morris could have […]
Yesterday was a dark day on the big city tracks. Two horses died. First in Line had a heart attack when it returned to the mounting yard after winning race 5 at Flemington, and was dead before it hit the ground. At Royal Randwick the boom galloper Big Parade’s nearside shoulder smashed itself to pieces […]
In 50 years in racing I am not sure that I have ever seen a jockey hauled into the Stewards room for putting a favourite in the box seat in the run. In fact I don’t believe that I ever have. Not until yesterday at Eagle Farm anyway. Apprentice Jake Molloy was on the fave […]
Everyone in the world knows that Zac Lloyd is brilliant, but he needs to pull his head in big time, before he puts someone down. How many suspensions has Z. Lloyd had now for careless riding? I’ve lost count, but it’s a lot. Yet still he continues on, riding in breach of the rules and […]

Did you see that horse that won the 3rd race at Doomben on Wednesday, the Maiden? Belvedere Boys was it’s name, trained by Matthew Dunn. The names at the top are of the horse’s owners. WF Innes is Wayne Francis Innes. Mirrors to his mates. Not that he’s got any other this idiot clown called […]
The French jockey Aurelien Lemaitre reminds me a lot of Tom Queally, or Luke Nolen perhaps. He can ride well, but he is not in the top flight of riders and never will be, and his name would never have come to prominence if he hadn’t been kidded by a fairy and struck a real […]
Ryan Moore takes his mount the 3rd favorite Above The Curve to the lead. Jim Crowley parks the $9 shot Al Husn at his quarters, to the outside. Aurelien Lemaitre – the frog – tucks the odds on favorite Blue Rose Cen in behind on Moore’s back, to the inner of Crowley. The scene is […]
They come to the cutaway rail. Ryan Moore has been sticking to the fence. Jim Crowley is staying about a horse width and a half outside him. Crowley is showing Lemaitre a run, and daring him to come through it. Moore is about to show him one too, They are messing with the frog’s mind. […]
Lemaitre falls for Moore’s lure, and goes to the inside. It’s a bad, bad mistake. A fatal error. As the frog is about to learn.
