Two of the Suspected Dead Horses Breaking Down During Their Race at Morven
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?
The Derby Trial is a Portent of Things to Come – But Not For the Winner
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 […]
Lay Down Tommy, Chris the Koala and the Stewards Who Can’t See
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 […]
What the Hell Sort of Drive Was This? – Is Vic Harness Racing Fair Dinkum?
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 […]
Hang On!

In Your Face Archie – Apologies to the Guru
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 […]
It Will Be the Longest Spell in History
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 […]
Anamoe Up There With Dancing Brave and Njinsky? – Puhlease – Pull You Head in James Cummings – You’re Making a Fool of Yourself
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 […]
Ka-Ching!
What sort of interest did your bank pay you over the weekend? Bet it wasn’t 121%. The Swans are are going to do the Cats in the Final. Brisbane Lions backline leaked, just as they have all year. Sydney’s defence is impregnable. Sucked in Collingwood, you’re a bunch of cats. Cowboys beat Eeels and go […]
Please God, Let Us Get Kim Kelly
We tipped you into Peter Chadwick’s departure months ago if you remember, and reminded you of the tension between he and the QRIC Commissioner Shane Gillard just last week. As usual we were right. It’s not that hard to be on the money if you keep your nose to the ground and work hard, instead […]
