Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
BOB Bentley readily admits to a “my way or the highway” management style. The chairman of Queensland Racing since April 2002 has managed to upset a good portion of the industry – and makes no apologies. Shortly after he took the reins, he was even the target of a rally attended by race club members […]
The famous writer Mark Twain was famously reported as being dead long before he actually was. Trommelschlagen was too, by us. We were wrong thankfully. The 8-year-old is alive and well. He was only beaten by the literal length of the straight at Morven because he got bumped at the start and then shortly thereafter […]
No horse deserves to die at the races. Imagine the outcry if it was punters dropping dead like flies. What the hell is wrong with this track?
Way back at the start of winter I told you I knew the winner of this year’s Victoria Derby. Sharp N Smart was his name, trained by G. ‘Rogie’ Rogerson and owned by Merv and Meg Butterworth, who are also the owners of the brilliant New Zealand pacer Copy That, conqueror of Lochinvar Art, Bondi […]
Did you see race 6 at Randwick yesterday? The Stewards obviously didn’t. Watch Tommy Berry’s ride on the horse on the outside that ends up running second. It’s a longshot who is the stablemate of the heavily backed favourite and ultimate winner positioned directly on its inside. Do you reckon Berry rode this horse out […]
I really don’t know why Leigh Sutton was driving Lochinvar Art in the first place. With all due respect to driver Sutton, he is not exactly a top 10 reinsman. So why on earth would you put him on a top 5 horse? Then again, why would you give a one time champion like Artie […]

A day or two back we put the knock on Racenet’s tipster James ‘The Guru’ Molony. Haven’t we egg on our face now? Molony tipped 3 horses at Caulfield yesterday: R2 Port Albert ($5), R3 Pride of Jenni ($5), R4 Aft Cabin ($2.45). Port Albert ran 3rd. Pride of Jenni and Aft Cabin won. A […]
The 2020 Everest winner Classique Legend has had 3 starts in the past 2 years. He ran 11th, 5th and last at those runs, the most recent of which was yesterday in The Shorts. At the age of seven I don’t think he will be having another one. Classique Legend pulled up 3/5th lame in […]
Ray Thomas on Racenet reported yesterday that James Cumming is mentioning Anamoe in the same breath as the legendary English champions Nijinksy and Dancing Brave. Cummings has got to be kidding hasn’t he? Anamoe is a great horse to be sure, and potentially a champion, but at this stage of their respective careers he wouldn’t have […]
