Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Ray Thomas on Racenet reported yesterday that James Cumming is mentioning Anamoe in the same breath as the legendary English champions Nijinksy and Dancing Brave. Cummings has got to be kidding hasn’t he? Anamoe is a great horse to be sure, and potentially a champion, but at this stage of their respective careers he wouldn’t have […]
What sort of interest did your bank pay you over the weekend? Bet it wasn’t 121%. The Swans are are going to do the Cats in the Final. Brisbane Lions backline leaked, just as they have all year. Sydney’s defence is impregnable. Sucked in Collingwood, you’re a bunch of cats. Cowboys beat Eeels and go […]
We tipped you into Peter Chadwick’s departure months ago if you remember, and reminded you of the tension between he and the QRIC Commissioner Shane Gillard just last week. As usual we were right. It’s not that hard to be on the money if you keep your nose to the ground and work hard, instead […]

It was a much better run by Verry Elleegant 2nd up at Lonchamp on Sunday, and she did ridden upside down and against good horses too. From the big picture point of view it doesn’t matter. She is still a million to one to win the Arc. It’s not just because aged mares don’t win […]
Greg Carpenter was the Victorian handicapper for 18 years. He rates the best five Australian horses that he ever saw in that time as Winx, So You Think, Black Caviar, Makybe Diva and Verry Elleegant. I reckon he’s a pretty good judge. A bloke well suited to his job. Or should I say, his art.
Only two races prior to getting pinched for whipping a horse nine times before the 100m mark, jockey Gary Geran had been suspended for 9 days for careless riding. Then an hour later he does this. “The horse was too calm in the prelim” jockey Geran told the Stipes, before adding that “he felt a […]
The NSW Commission of Inquiry report into Star City Casino is going to be handed down today. Everyone’s mail is that Star Entertainment are $1.10 to be found unfit to hold a casino license. That can be fixed simply in NSW by Star selling out, and someone else taking over. But what is the Queensland […]
He may have been adjudged as being a little mad. But, perhaps, not that mad. TARGET is, of course, referring to Mr Deacon Chiu Te Ken, Chairman of Far East Holdings International Ltd and Far East Consortium International Ltd, both companies, being listed on The Stock Exchange of Hongkong Ltd. Mr Deacon Chiu Te Ken, […]
