Kim Kelly’s Secret Plan To Make QLD the Animal Welfare Capital of the World? – Can It Be Possibly Be True? – I Hope So – It’s the Only Way to Go
Now I want to be crystal clear from the start, just in case the hyper aggressive NSW lawyer for the ice addicted woman basher Andrew O’Keefe decides to to channel a crystal ball reader and calls me folksy. It is not true of course, but even if it were it would be better than being […]
Bombshell claims: Former RV investigator questions Formestane drug probe

The Oakleigh Plate Is Now a Second Class Race – Peter V’Landys and His Everest Win – It’s Time For the Victorians to Tap the Mat

After all it wasn’t all that long ago that they knocked multiple Group 1 trainer Danny Bougoure […]

In declaring a dead heat for second, […]
I Am Sorry Joshua – I Think You’re Rooted
Me collecting Belle Of Monatana’s trophy from Watches Mackinnon after her first Group 1 win. Happy days. Somewhat surprisingly – or a lot surprisingly TBH given our rocky start, and a number of my close mate’s opinion of the bloke – I quite warm to N40 principal Josh Davine, and like the young fella somewhat […]
