Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
We broke the story this week about Marc Van Gestel leaving Sydney to take up the Chief Steward’s role there, and although the mainstream press haven’t caught up yet, you can be guaranteed it’s true. Based on his performance post race 5 at Rosehill today, they can have him. I’m not sure what was the […]
According to Alligator Al (Allan Endresz),Botty (Adrian Bott) has told him that the Alligator (Alligator Blood) is going to have a couple of runs in Hong Kong before taking a tilt at the HK Mile. Oh yeah? Really? Where exactly in Hong Kong is he going to have these lead up races, considering that no […]

We have few things to say, and instead will reflect on the issue by asking a few questions, as follows: Is anyone actually surprised? Have the QRIC Stewards gone back and looked at any of Callow’s rides since he has been in Queensland? Have they looked at the ones that showed up in the betting […]
That’s JC with fist pump and the pork pie hat. I hope he’ll be doing it again at Caulfield on Saturday. No-one has more fun at the races that the Pineapple crew, the owners of the unbeaten 3YO filly Shesgotheboom, last start winner of the Aquis Jewels. They and their brilliant little girl are back […]
