Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Last Saturday’s card at the Gold Coast was the main racing show in Queensland, the metro meeting. The races on the program carried prizemoney of between $75 000 and $150 000. Prizemoney at the Toowoomba meeting was between $21 500 and $30 000. Betting turnover on the Coast meeting was 4-5 times the amount held […]
Craig Newitt is a once good jockey who has been eaten from the inside by his own demons and the corruption of character and judgement that always comes with it. Newitt wants to blame the wind for his mount Poland’s failure. It’s a load of crap. Jigsaw cut the breeze the whole way outside the […]
How frustrating must it be to own a horse like Bruckner, who ran 2nd to Home Affairs in the Coolmore and hasn’t been able go a yard ever since? Well to be fair he’s only had one run – yesterday at Caulfield – but my God he was awful. Bruckner had an operation or operations […]

Fab’s Cowboy is one of the most consistently successful bush horses in QLD racing history. He wins 1 race on average every 2 and 1/2 starts. That’s why he’s won 49 from 133. At age 11 needs just one more to enter rare racing air by cracking the half century. It’s turning into a bit […]
It’s a pretty lean day at the races todays and once that is screaming upset results, so we’ve limited our tips to six. I reckon there are a few winners among them too. Good luck, and have a winning day. We will. Gold Coast Race 7 no 1 – Juan Diva This mare can’t go […]
When Peter V’Landys cheekily suggested during the Victorian COVID-19 lockdown two years back that the Melbourne Cup should be run at Randwick every man and his dog poo-pooed him, quite rightly saying that the Cup is a Flemington race and that should never change. It is too, and it should always be run at headquarters. […]
At first when I saw this I thought ‘Good on the Stewards. They’ve realised that they’ve missed something and had been professional enough to acknowledge their omission and remedy it. Then I read it. It’s an absolute and utter load of nonsense. Chief Steward Joshua Adams is trying to be clever and explain away the […]
What you see above is the replay of Race 5 at the Rockhampton TAB meeting held at Callaghan Park last Tuesday. This race was a disgrace, and the actions and inactions of the QRIC Stewards is even more disgraceful. The second favourite in the race Captain Tom was all but tailed off throughout the race, […]
This was the finish of race 7 at Rockhampton yesterday. It was pretty close wasn’t it? Even the caller, who plumped for the inside, got it wrong. The outside won by a nose. It’s jockey Brad Pengelly broke the rules. He hit it eight times before the 100 metre mark, and 15 times in total. […]
