Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Kyle Wilson-Taylor rode at 54kg in race 5 at the Gold Coast yesterday. Somehow – perhaps it was a type of reverse miracle – he was unable to ride at 56kg in race 9. How does a rider gain two kilograms in 2 hours? You tell me. Apprentices Yvette Lewis, Angela Jones and Jasmine Cornish […]

Nature Strip took out the first round in the Horse of the Year awards by beating his stablemate Verry Elleegant to win the NSW title, but the main game of Australian Horse of the Year is still to come. The champion sprinter would have to be the favourite now though wouldn’t he? The pair of […]
Coming into the final race on the Bankstown Derby card last night Caesar’s Rockstar had won 2 races from its past 52 starts in two and a half years, so to the casual observer it was somewhat of a surprise to see the seemingly slow pacer backed as if it was unbeatable from an opening […]
Here are the main contenders. Nature Strip won four Group 1’s – The Everest, the Darley Sprint, the TJ Smith and the King’s Stand at Royal Ascot. Incentivise won three – the Makybe Diva, the Turnbull and the Caulfield Cup, and he ran a great 2nd in the Cup. Verry Ellegant who beat him won […]
There hasn’t been a drop of rain in Ipswich in the past week and a half. Yet races can’t start from the 1666m chute, because the track is faulty and the surface is unsafe. We’ve said it before and we will say it again, there needs to be an official inquiry into where the $30 […]
What the hell happened here in race 6 at Mackay yesterday? The favourite was Ahooshu, the best horse in the race. It always races forward, usually in the lead, and that’s exactly where it’s rider Chris Whiteley took it, which must have been a great relief to the punters who’d backed it and then watched […]
If the rumours coming out from across the ditch are right, then Peter V’Landys has hit the bullseye in upping the prizemoney for the Spring Champion Stakes to $2 million and carding it head to head against the Cox Plate. Sharp N Smart is quite possibly the best 3yo Kiwi middle distance/stayer since (It’s A) […]
I just wanna stay in the sun where I findI know it’s hard sometimesPieces of peace in the sun’s peace of mindI know it’s hard sometimes There were five riders at Mt Isa on Saturday, and there were only ever going to be five. A simple phone call could have confirmed that. So what does […]
I don’t mean to be a smart arse, but I said two months ago that taking Verry Ellegant to France at her age was madness, and told you that she was a million to one to win the Arc. Well guess what I was right. Sadly I think that the great mare is racing lame. […]
