Dear Councillor Whilst I admire your activism on behalf of the low waged – me being one – and your concerted efforts to end the plague of violence against women, both of which are highly honourable and absolutely essential outcomes and goals, I feel compelled to express my grave concern about your role in locking up Australians and […]
Let’s square the Cox Plate away first. I have no real idea. This race could go any which way. Mo’unga to beat Captivant and Anamoe is my wild spec. Now to the serious bets. BRISBANE Race 6 – FETCH Got into the wrong part of the track 1st up in a race where the leader […]

It seems that Little Alfie promises to […]
Tommy Berry tells a good tale. The NSW Stewards believed it. I don’t. Began only fairly did it? Then what about this? Unable to gain cover? Really? Gee, he looked like he could have slipped in here to me. The five wide thing was just circumstance I’m sure. Well not really. As for the bit […]

Simon Zahra – Not a Micro Man There are increasing whispers that the upcoming break up of a high profile training partnership is directly related to one member of the partnership’s increasingly close relationship with a very well known breeder, racing official and syndicator who now funds his racing endeavours by selling microscopic shares in […]
A number of trainers in both the gallops and harness have thrown positive swabs to the banned substance Levamisole in recent years, including two trainers – Paul Russo and Kerry Ann Morris – who won 3 races between them at Menangle yesterday. So what is this Levamisole? What does it do, and where does it […]
As much as I continually question his training methods, I have always said that Jack ‘Turbo’ Trainor is one hell of harness racing driver. He proved it again last night at Menangle steering home a big bag full of four winners/ It’s , and each of them for a different trainer too – Grimson, Russo, […]
