Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Appointment Of An Administrator To The Australian Turf Club Racing NSW today announced the appointment of an Administrator to conduct the affairs of the Australian Turf Club (ATC).

So much for the QRIC edict banning children from entering or remaining in the stabling area and tie-up stalls at the trots on safety grounds. If the Stewards responsible for the policy refuse to enforce it then the whole thing becomes a joke. Until of course a kid gets kicked or trampled on, and then […]
Former Group 1 winning international jockey Robbie Fradd deserves high praise for the splendid work he has been doing for junior riders since being appointed as apprentice mentor earlier this year. Fradd seems to attend every race meeting he can in South-East Queensland, and is a vocal advocate for apprentices in the Stewards room helping […]
To celebrate tipping us a $10 winner as her special at Ballarat last week the Naked Tipster Dr Georgia Whiting PhD donned some traditional Euroa attire and ventured out into Dowling Forest to cast her eyes on the bodies of bookies she had slayed lying strewn all over the ground. The Doctor is very confident […]
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.

It was 28 degrees on Sunday afternoon at the Sunshine Coast. That wasn’t hot enough for the QRIC’s extreme heat policy to be employed. Which was a shame, because two runners in the first two race on the program were diagnosed with heat stress after they had raced, He’s Got Grunt in the first and […]
In Albion Park Chairman Greg Mitchell’s euphoria about the Creek being (in our view temporarily) saved, he seems to have 0verlooked a rather important thing. The racing reform plan to run thoroughbred race meeting four nights a week, every week, in direct competition with the trots. Wednesday to Saturday night is the plan. Gold Coast, […]
Flush from her huge success last weekend, and in honor of her winning special She’s A Huslter, Dr G. Whiting has demanded that I use the lips – which she swears are exactly like hers – on the cover of Hustler magazine as our banner picture this week. So blame the good doctor about the […]
