Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The protest 2nd v 1st in race 2 at the Gold Coast was upheld yesterday. I for one don’t believe that it should have been. The horse in the red in the video with Zac Lloyd on board was first past the post. There is no doubt that it ran out under pressure, and that […]
As predicted yesterday, the jury in the trial of Seth Fishman, the leading US vet accused of two counts of conspiring to violate adulteration and misbranding laws and the manufacture of PEDS administered to racehorses by corrupt trainers for money and fame, has returned this morning after just 2 further hours of deliberation. Their verdict? […]
A couple of days ago we wrote an article in which we were critical of the Towers Jockey Club (TJC) about what we (seemingly wrongly) believed was their failure to fix the race track in the town in time to hold its scheduled race meeting in the first week in March. The club’s hard working […]
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 […]
There was clear interference in this race, and Mr R. Close the driver of Eastwood Isabella was completely responsible for it. Close is in the light green colours 3 back on the fence. His rival John Dunn – Lurch – was in the red, black and white on his outside. Driver R. Close has shifted […]

Evidence was taken from Jason Holder and written submissions by third party professionals, relating to Jason Holder’s personal circumstances, were also considered. After considering the evidence Stewards charged Jason Holder […]
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 […]
After watching the first race at the Sunshine Coast yesterday I turned to my punting mate and commented that the inside was off on this wet Soft 7 track. It wasn’t the observation of a genius, it was a simple fact that was plain for everyone in the world to see, and of course it […]
Do you remember the story we wrote a couple of weeks ago about the galloper Zingalong, and how he turned his head and tried to bite another horse as they approached the line? Well he has done it again today at the Sunshine Coast. If he was a greyhound he’d be stood down for a […]
I’ve had enough of V’Landys and his Everest. He can stick his Kosciuszko up his arse. Both of them wear blue, and we are maroon. You can take the Archer and insert it where the sun doesn’t shine. Queensland has been a racist police state for 150 year’s, and time is up. Everyone in the […]
