Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
We are at Wangaratta yesterday, and we are looking at race 6. It’s an apprentice’s race, the last sort of thing you’d suspect of being run hot. Which, when you think about it, is the ideal one. Low paid apprentices keen for a flash car and a jet ski like the grade above them. Wildly […]
Question One Where exactly did Chris Taylor’s mount Going To The Sun stumble at the 700m mark? Question 2 Is it acceptable for a jockey to ease their mount out of the race when are they in contention as a chance, in circumstances whereby an official vet could find nothing wrong with the horse?

Last Saturday’s card at the Gold Coast was the main racing show in Queensland, the metro meeting. The races on the program carried prizemoney of between $75 000 and $150 000. Prizemoney at the Toowoomba meeting was between $21 500 and $30 000. Betting turnover on the Coast meeting was 4-5 times the amount held […]
Craig Newitt is a once good jockey who has been eaten from the inside by his own demons and the corruption of character and judgement that always comes with it. Newitt wants to blame the wind for his mount Poland’s failure. It’s a load of crap. Jigsaw cut the breeze the whole way outside the […]

Fab’s Cowboy is one of the most consistently successful bush horses in QLD racing history. He wins 1 race on average every 2 and 1/2 starts. That’s why he’s won 49 from 133. At age 11 needs just one more to enter rare racing air by cracking the half century. It’s turning into a bit […]
It’s a pretty lean day at the races todays and once that is screaming upset results, so we’ve limited our tips to six. I reckon there are a few winners among them too. Good luck, and have a winning day. We will. Gold Coast Race 7 no 1 – Juan Diva This mare can’t go […]
When Peter V’Landys cheekily suggested during the Victorian COVID-19 lockdown two years back that the Melbourne Cup should be run at Randwick every man and his dog poo-pooed him, quite rightly saying that the Cup is a Flemington race and that should never change. It is too, and it should always be run at headquarters. […]
