The TAB is close to announcing a deal to outsource its race-betting business to an Australian partner, according to race industry sources.

Rogie is very happy with Sharp ‘n’ Smart coming into Saturday’s NZ Derby. Over the moon in fact. He is going to be galloping at Te Rapa tomorrow morning alongside Savacat. The TV cameras will be there to see him working over ground and – sadly in my opinion – Ryan Elliott will be riding […]
No it’s not Alligator Blood. It’s Sharp N Smart. Reckon a Kiwi 3YO can’t beat Australia’s best galloper? Then think again.

Hey look, the bras have matching diamond infused sunnies. Wonder who paid for them? They tell me that the Tommy Berry and The Butcher appeals are on for the 1st of March. I also hear that there may be more surprises to come, although neither the punter, the jockey or the authorities know it yet. […]
This is the cover page of a feature story about Toowoomba trainer Tony Sears in this month’s edition of Racing Queensland’s ‘Race’ Magazine. My mail suggests that RQ may at sometime before the end of the year come to regret their slavish praise of Sears. I’m not to going to tell you why right now. […]
The double-edged sword of incomings versus outgoings dealt the racing industry two more deep slashes in its death by a thousand cuts when TAB NZ released its December 2022 result last week.
