Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Ben Dorries from Racenet never ceases to amaze. On Saturday he told us a tale of woe about the treatment of Alligator Allan Endresz by Racing Victoria, and pleaded with the world to support the undischarged bankrupt who owes Australia $11.8 million and won’t pay, on the basis that Alligator Al always pays his feed […]
It’s too late to try and change it, and there would be no point trying anyway because Peter V’Landys is all too powerful, but I want to state for the record that I reckon changing the name of the Stan Fox Stakes to the Callander-Presnell is an out and out disgrace. I mean no disrespect […]
Kevin Ring from the Australian Jockey’s Association expressed his rider members concerns about the safety of synthetic tracks, and how they could kill or maim jockeys, way back in 2013. We need to band together internationally and do something to find out more about these tracks and their jockey injury rate he told everyone, because […]
Gday Archie, Was just reading through your stories from the weekend and wanted to confirm that it definitely did rain in Muttaburra on Saturday morning, it was still raining at 7.30am when they did the ring around. Two of the dirt roads into the town were also closed due to the rain and have only […]
Alligator Blood Update! Racing Victoria did not respond to the proposal by 5:00 pm that would have allowed 🐊🩸🆎 to run in Vic Spring Racing Carnival where a 15% free interest in AB would have been donated to Living Legends. Lawyers have been instructed to proceed with Plan B. — Allan Endresz (@EndreszAllan) August 7, […]
Some wag sent in this snap of the top three in the weights in the first at Caloundra. They claim it answers the mysteries surrounding the fight last night at the Ville Casino. I can confirm the following. 1. Yes, that was how the fight ended. 2. No, her name was not Diana. 3. No-one […]
Everybody’s favourite tipster Swervin’ Mervyn in New Zealand at the moment, which might seem a very strange place to travel to in winter when you don’t ski, but isn’t at all when you own a champion pacer called Copy That and the soon to be winner of the Caulfield Guineas and perhaps even the Cox […]
R. Vale left, T. Cook right I hope not. Those who were present say that the bout at the Ville Resort-Casino was a huge let down. The punters were expecting Tim Cook to put up a good show, particularly given the reason for him being so fired up. But Ricky Vale retained his title and […]
Racenet’s chief racing writer Ben Dorries has for some unknown reason become Allan Endresz head cheerleader, and is pleading for the convicted crook who owes Australia almost $12 million to be allowed to continue to race horses, even though he refuses to pay his debts and conceals his ownership interests in family trusts so he […]
I was chatting to the great horse trainer and former Dr Geoff Chapman tonight, and asked him to explain to me why Michael Hooper’s desertion of his men in Argentina was acceptable. The Doc – a lifelong rugby man through and through – stood up for the Captain who deserted his team, saying that although […]
