Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The great bush warhorse Fabs Cowboy took his career win total to 49 by knocking them off at Blackall yesterday, courtesy of Tyler Leslight’s claim and a very pretty ride by the kid. 50 wins is a rare achievement on any race track, and it has long been the Johnson stable’s goal for this incredible […]
As most of the world knows, Danny Bougoure was booted out of his Eagle Farm stables so that the Brisbane Racing Club could give them to Annabel Neasham. I wonder if that was a smart decision in hindsight? The QRIC Integrity Investigation Team conducted a without warning inspection of the new Neasham stables yesterday. As […]
Queensland’s leading jockey James Orman went to Sydney yesterday for just one ride. He had three, but two of them were extreme outsiders who he had picked up the mounts on to pay the fare. The one he was really there for was Far Too Easy in the Kosciuszko. Orman rode it a treat too, […]
This is the Stewards report from the internationally broadcast TAB meeting yesterday at Rockhampton. It was a schemozzle, a monument to incometence. Six horses were late scratched from the program as they had no jockey to ride them. There was never going to be anyone to ride them, for the races in question were programmed […]
Australian racing is today a laughing stock, a joke. Our champion stayer has been humiliated. We all have. Unless you have sold it to Coolmore, you do not without notice rip your horse out of the stable of Australia’s leading trainer and export it to be trained by a Pom, Paddy, Wog or Frog to […]

Foster’s niece, Arabella, has raced four horses under the title of Arabella Racing, all trained by Ciaron Maher. Attempts to link Foster to the ownership are understood […]
What you are seeing above is the farm house of Peter Foster, the infamous international con man and mad punter. It’s at Mt Tamborine. The video was posted a month ago. As you watch it you will see a statue of a horse under a tree. That is Azkadelia. The mare that Foster didn’t own, […]
A gentleman is any man of good and courteous conduct. Originally, gentleman was the lowest rank of the landed gentry of England, ranking below an esquire and above a yeoman; by definition, the rank of gentleman comprised the younger sons of the younger sons of peers, and the younger sons of a baronet, a knight, and an esquire, in perpetual succession. As such, the connotation of the term gentleman […]
Well Sportsfans, if you followed our expert judgement like the Doc did, you’d be as rich as Croesus after Sharp ‘N’ Smart’s outstanding victory in the rescheduled Gloaming Stakes today. The Doc is, and I would be too, if only they didn’t have hurdle races on late at night in the post-coital hours at the […]
