Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
A gentleman is any man of good and courteous conduct. Originally, gentleman was the lowest rank of the landed gentry of England, ranking below an esquire and above a yeoman; by definition, the rank of gentleman comprised the younger sons of the younger sons of peers, and the younger sons of a baronet, a knight, and an esquire, in perpetual succession.

Well Sportsfans, if you followed our expert judgement like the Doc did, you’d be as rich as Croesus after Sharp ‘N’ Smart’s outstanding victory in the rescheduled Gloaming Stakes today. The Doc is, and I would be too, if only they didn’t have hurdle races on late at night in the post-coital hours at the […]
Paulele made it seven wins from 18 starts when he added the Group 2 Schillaci Stakes to his form sheet on Saturday and he deserves a Group 1 win. I can see him getting that coveted victory on Friday week in the Manikato Stakes. He only beat second-tier horses in the Schillaci, but what is […]
Murphy’s Blu Boy was the fastest horse in the world up to five furlongs, which is 1000m. But he couldn’t get two strides past that. This bloke looked like a bullet up the thousand. He won his Maiden on debut at Ipswich over 800m by 6.5 lengths, then won a 2YO over 900m at the […]

No, not about the boat race that this was. About the owners of the winner. In the Summit Bloodstock colours for Aaron Bain? How does that work? In ways that are never written on paper. Thank God for keyboard warriors hey?
What a hell of a mess Mother Nature has wreaked upon Sydney racing. Thanks to the brilliant stewardship of V’Landys the sport in NSW is awash with cash. PVL is putting the profits back into racing. Prizemoney for the Spring Carnival is through the roof. But then rain pours down and bursts it. It was […]
CAULFIELD Race 7 no 7 – Anamoe Keep looking at the form out of the Underwood if you like, but you are wasting your time. The best young male horse since the Big O will brain them all. This boy is a champion. Race 9 no 3 Converge/no 6 Hilal The Toorak is a cracker […]
Lost in all the hoopla surrounding Alligator Blood’s walk, crawl, sprint win in the Underwood last week was the seemingly disappointing run in the race of Mr Brightside, who only a fortnight ago was being talked about as a leading contender for Cox Plate glory. I will be happy if I am wrong, but I […]
