Gaita Pullicino (right) with husband and ‘trainer’ Frank In a letter we published by Ted From Tooleybuc (the letter was real, as is our usual practice only the name was changed) about Gaita Pullicino’s drive at Globe Derby on Sunday, Ted made certain statements that are not quite accurate. Ted said that: Its interesting that […]
You see some bullshit claims in your life when you are as old as I am and have spent your whole life at the track, but this statement of supposed facts about racehorse ownership put out yesterday by Tom Magnier takes the cake. Magnier claims that 1 in every 201 Australians owns a share in […]

Australia’s black type system under fire amid threat of international downgrade I for one […]
Racing.com have posted the results of The Jericho Cup as the race being run over 4600m too. Funny thing is that I could have sworn that racing.com is owned by Racing Victoria, which employs the Stewards that decided to shorten the distance of the race. One hand at RV doesn’t seem to have a clue […]
