Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
How many times do starters and barrier attendants in Queensland have to get it wrong about removing pre-race ear muffs until they finally learn. It is not that hard. Black muff are part of the gear and stay on. Red muffs come off as a horse enters the barrier. That’s how it supposed to happen […]
I never saw Sir Tristram race, but I did see his early crop sons Dalmacia, Sovereign Red, Grosvenor and Gurner’s Lane win races like the Epsom, Caulfield Guineas, VRC Derby, and Caulfield and Melbourne Cups, and I was at Rosehill the day when his Brian Mayfield Smith trained, Jim Cassidy ridder Marauding won the Golden […]
John Symons and Sheila Laxon had to fight like hell to get their circa half million dollar share of Knight’s Choice’s winning prizemoney for the Melbourne Cup, after RISA and/or Racing Victoria stuffed up and paid it to their old business partner, who trousered the cash. Fortunately for the blissfully happy couple they followed our […]
Liam Birchley is a great trainer, and an even better bloke. He is true Australian too. The wannabe coppers at Racing Victoria back in the day took him without any evidential basis for everything that he had, and kicked him out on his own. Liam was down, but he never bit the dust. Men of […]
Liam Birchley is in my opinion one of the hardest done by blokes in racing, not that he would agree with me, for the trainer’s not the type to get bitter or complain. He has plenty of grounds to though. Birchley’s training career was literally destroyed overnight by Terry Bailey and his ‘Integrity’ Team at […]
The Naked Tipster (pictured) waiting for her Punting Prince to arrive. My tip is he will turn up at the Heath tomorrow after she tips us six winners.
Have a look at the final stages of the 1995 Inter Dominion Grand Final, and keep your eyes on Chris Alford in the green colours on Golden Reign. Unbelievable it is. In the modern age he would have been disqualified for sure. The whip use would have been enough. But what about the right foot […]
This is the photo finish of the 6th race at Townsville last Friday. Who has run 5th to 8th? Racing QLD have it as being the horse one from the outside, in the orange silks with blue and orange cap with orange pom pom. So did RISA, the official website of Australian racing. But it […]
The horse in the picture was home to the world in a jumps race at Fakenham the night before last. $1.01 it was in play coming to the last. But all horse players die broke. Just like this.
Warwoven is currently $2.10 on the TAB, which is not the sort of price that anyone would want to be taking about a 2YO that has twice been tested as lame on the day before the race. It should be $10.00 and blowing, but no-one is game to make the call. Or maybe they just […]
