Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
One of my half a dozen bets on the good thing. Got the price. Form ‘expert’ Shane Ciurlio declared the favourite it in the Cup a moral. He ended up with more egg on his face than a bloke lying on the floor in a battery hen farm. Now it’s my turn. But I don’t […]
Glenda Markwell went to the Pearly Gates track on Friday after reaching the finishing post in her incredibly brave and stoic battle against the terrible disease that kept trying to kill her. Nautical Lass in race 1 at Randwick just run was the last ever horse to carry Glenda’s name as trainer in the race […]
“I’ve got plans in place to expand my racing interests into Brisbane throughout the course of 2019, and have a number of private clients keen to expand into Queensland. “The recent increase in prize money levels has been great for Queensland and we will be trying to get some nice QTIS yearlings in the upcoming […]
The car you see here was driven by Kyle Maskiell, a former Tasmanian jockey turned trainer. He drove through this unsuspecting person’s fence the Saturday before last.

The impacts of the Covid-19 lockdowns and forced closures due to flooding reduced patronage and associated revenue. To compensate […]
Ben Cleary is a wrong gee. The son of highly respected Queanbeyan trainer Frank Cleary of Clan O’Sullivan fame, and brother of equally well respected trainer Joe Cleary, is a seed that obviously fallen a long way from the tree, for he is a con-artist, a scammer, a fraudster, a thief, and just plain no […]
For a long time there I was a lone voice in the wilderness shouting about how Sharp ‘N’ Smart was a champion, and it took until Saturday for the ‘experts’ in the mainstream media to wake up and realise that I was telling the truth. Now they have they are all over him, with some […]
The great QLD bush sprinter Fab’s Cowboy is making his first attempt at cracking the half century of wins today in the Country Stampede qualifier at Gladstone. He is going to have to carry 65.5kg and give every horse in the field an incredible 10.5 kilograms over the 1194m on the sand to do it. […]
Copy That won a Free For All at Alexandra Park on Friday night starting from a back mark of 55m. I am happy to be corrected, but to the best of my knowledge the last horse to do that the high class pacer Agua Caliente, way back 22 years ago on the 19th of May […]
