Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The Chief Steward Josh Adams was the Chairman of the Panel at the Eagle Farm meeting last Saturday. That means that he was in charge of signing off on the official Stewards report. The one that recorded the Tony Gollan trained Blue Spinel as having raced 3-wide for the majority of the race. Blue Spinel […]
So all these trainers, jockeys, punters and other clowns are blowing up big time about the track bias at the ‘Bool. Are they insane, incompetent, or just plain imbeciles? Isn’t it the job of the professionals to work out where the fast lanes are, not to whinge about other people finding them? I would have […]
Hi Archie, I remember going to the Mingela races in the early 70’s. The two-up game started after the last race. When the pool built up to a sizeable the two coppers from Charters Towers who were there for the day walked through and scooped it all up. Queensland being what it was back then, […]
The picture you see is the Victorian coppers breaking up the two-up ring after the last at the ‘Bool today. What next? Are they gunna stop Australians marching down the street on Anzac Day? Put a halt to punting at the Melbourne Cup? Ban people from drinking beer at the Boxing Day test? Where does […]
For those that missed the first race at Warrnambool… 🎥 @Racing pic.twitter.com/SWhJRZCcJb — SENTrack (@SEN_track) May 2, 2024
Is that a big bad sail sticking up there? Matches the message I guess. There are 10 000 people inside the gates of Warrnambool having a ball of a time on the fang, punt and piss. Standing outside are 10 middle-aged people being uptight, sipping Kobucha water, and telling them that they are bums. Anyone […]
Now trainer Nick Walsh, pictured with Alfie back in his days as a young gun rodeo star Nick Walsh is a young Rockhampton gallops trainer and horseman in his mid-twenties, who in the few years since he started training has been leading winners in at an average strike rate 3 in every 10 starters, and […]
The chances of Stern Idol ever running in the Grand Annual Steeple at the ‘Bool today were always 100-1, for the reasons that we wrote about early in the week, namely that the champion middle-distance jumper couldn’t get the 5.5km over 33 jumps trip of the Annual running down a well on roller skates. Ciaron […]
“The Thoroughbred Alliance met today to discuss the ongoing concerns the participant associations have with our grass tracks in S.E.Q, highlighted by recent questionable track ratings where downgrades have happened on race-days. These are certainly not isolated instances, it’s been an ongoing problem for many years. We fully understand how difficult it is for clubs […]
The Sunshine Coast track was at one time one of the best in Queensland. It was great in the wet or the dry. Sadly ever since they spend nearly $20 million on the poly track and new stables it hasn’t been so much good as crap. I don’t know why. Race cards have been abandoned […]
