Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Richard Callander in his Racenet column this week declares Sheza Alibi an absolute gimme to win the Golden Eagle at Rosehill in seven weeks time. As good as she is – and Sheza Alibi’s top class, there is no question about that – Richie has gone the crow too early and overlooked one rather important […]
I got a tip earlier in the week that trainer Kristie Clark-Peoples, her husband and fellow licensee David Peoples, and a staff member who shall not be named, might be paying a visit to the QRIC Stewards office sometime soon. The matter, our mailman said, involved a reputed positive swab that one of the Peoples […]
The $3.80 favorite in the last race at Mackay yesterday Bateman’s Bay had, coming into the race, started on 21 occasions previously. Each and every time it had been ridden from behind, including at its win last time out at Townsville, when it swept home from near the rear of the field. Bateman’s Bay had […]
Now Racing QLD Chairman in absentia Matthew McGrath, who lives in Cronulla, submission to the NSW Parliamentary Inquiry into the proposed sale of Rosehill Racecourse makes for interesting reading. First the former Australian Turf Club (ATC) Chairman refers to 6-time Group 1 winner and idol of the Australian turf Chautauqua as Chatacqua, which is bit […]
Ballard E. for the QRIC says they don’t agree with Murdoch’s submission that Duggan should get time served. Unlike Murdoch, who is a be bop jazz practitioner, Ballard E. appears to be reading word for word from a pre-prepared submission. Listening to her is extremely boring. It sounds more like a lecture than a submission. […]
Caulfield Cup winning trainer Jim Mason moved up from Melbourne to the Sunshine Coast a couple of years back to become the private trainer for Noosa crane and lift hire magnate Mike Sherrin, who runs his thoroughbred business under the name of Sheralee Racing. Sherrin previously had his horses with Desleigh Forster, but that relationship […]
2-year-old Kiwi trotter Duke of Bourbon is the real deal. We have told you that before. Wanna See a Potential Superstar – Meet the Duke There is not a horse of his age who can beat him, other than himself. See as brilliantly talented as he is, the Duke is still a skittish youngster, and […]
These words of the HRV Chairman have to be seen and heard to be believed. Prizemoney is not one of the top ten priorities of the boof headed boffins running the trots in Victoria. Money doesn’t matter in a free market driven world hey? I’m speechless. Here is what Bernie said. Fuck me dead. Watch […]
Black Hex is, with all due respect to the horse and its connections, a walker and an absolute cat. In its ten start racing career prior to the 12th of June this year the cheaply bred 4YO gelding had only once ever run a place, in a weak maiden at Stony Creek on a Heavy […]
I like a number of other punters on the weekend got the first three legs of the Eagle Farm quaddie right, and had the top three of Tony Gollan’s four runners going for a good collect in the last. The one Gollan horse that we/I left out was the 40-1 shot Millane, not just because […]
