Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Silly Willie Pike will be finished as a jockey in his home State once the law kicks in, and many others in both codes will find themselves in the same basket. The vaccination status of his main stable, the leading training partnership Grant and Alana Williams, is unknown but the former pink and whites have […]

Kodai was examined by the vet before the first race at Innisfail because it hadn’t run for a rather long period of time. It was only 655 days, what are they talking about? The vet from the Tableland Vet Service examined the mare and passed her fit to run. You wouldn’t want to be taking […]

Sadly in a year in […]

Well it’s just not the Group 1 winning couple’s weekend. Yesterday at Caloundra young apprentice Melea Castle followed the leader, and wiped out […]
