Peter Profit Wins – Plunge Landed – Happy Days
Peter Profit is most certainly above average, just as the betting market said. Evens ($2.00) into $1.35 it was. It was never in danger. Plunge landed. Happy days.
Nude Tips – Bed Bets of the Day
The Doctor has been hard at it all week studying the form in the nude, as is her practice, and is confident she has found a few bed bets like she did last week, when her special landed at almost $10 and she nailed a trifecta in 3 for $550, amongst others. Here is hoping […]
The Betting is Right
My namesake debuts in race 2 at Rockhampton today. It will be a good bit of free advertising for the website if it lives up to its trial form. The racehorse Peter Profit shares the same name as the great QLD pacer of the 1970’s after whom this website is named and, ironically, his great […]
Say it Ain’t So Rocky Joe
The word out of CQ is that the perpetually pesky Callaghan Park sprinklers have failed again. And that the quote is $670 000 to fix them, Who is going to pay for it to get fixed? The club is fly blown. And Racing QLD is on the bones of its arse. I guess they might […]
I’d Strongly Suggest That Blaike McDougall is in For a Big Fine or a Spell
Watch Blaike McDougall sit up well before the post on the leader in the last at Albury today. It was home to the world, until McDougall stopped riding. His mount still won, but by the skin of it’s teeth. His actions – or inactions, which is a better description – very nearly got the horse […]
Where Do You Draw the Line? – I Know – QRIC Officials Should Too
Questions are being asked about a young QLD Steward’s interactions and friendships with a number of licensees, including some whose phones have been seized by the stipes colleagues in what appears to be an investigation into the activities of former trainer turned racing manager Ben Currie. We make no indictment of either Currie or the […]
Twenty Horses Late Scratched in Five Races, Because There Was No Jockey There to Ride Them
Richmond is a rural town in north-west QLD, not that far from Mt Isa. The race club out there put on a five race meeting on the weekend. Jockeys who rode at it earned $1250 in fees, plus the chance of up to $1700 in commission on prizemoney won, which is not a bad earn […]
To Ride or Not to Ride, That is the Question
There is nothing whatsoever in the official Stewards report about the matter, but those who were on course at Gayndah on Saturday tell us that a deputation of three jockeys approached the stipes about 20 minutes before race 1 expressing a reluctance to ride at the meeting due to concerns about the state of the […]
Mike Says Someone Needs a Set Square
Hi Archie When you look at the photo finish the white line is not drawn on the correct angle. If you look at the photo finish mirror on the infield the line does not start in the middle of the mirror but well in front of it. Move it back to the correct position and […]
How the Hell Did the Inside Win This?
Race 4 in Sydney. The outside wins for sure. Or so you think. It doesn’t. The inside horses number goes up in the frame. WTF? How the hell did that happen? I know the still shot I have put up is a quarter of a stride before the post. But puh-lease!
