Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Ahoy there Arch and your fellow Banana Benders! Looking forward to the time honoured Doomben Cup and She’s A Hustler showing us her typical fight. The Nude Tips, alas, are depleted with the scratching of my best value bet. Tipping on a Wednesday has hairs on it, but you can never give up. Onwards and […]
I absolutely guarantee that you have never seen anything like this in your life, no matter what sport you follow or what code you love. Leap To Fame holds the track records at Albion Park for every distance regularly run, from every start type that it is run from. From the Creek mile of 1660m […]
Archie playing with the clowns this week at the Port Douglas Carnivale – It might well have been in Rocky where he lived 25 years ago, where he watched Cath Freeman win the 400m at the Sydney Olympics and in whose Mater Hospital his baby daughter was born. The clowns have always been in charge of […]
Earlier in the week we wrote an article rubbishing Racing QLD’s decision to defer Wednesday’s scheduled race meeting at Ipswich by 24 hours until today, and suggested that the meeting was little chance of going ahead. Well thankfully RQ was right and we were wrong, for here we are racing on a Heavy 9 track […]
The problems with the Callaghan Park, Rockhampton track clearly continue. At 8.08am this morning the track condition was published on the Racing Australia website (RISA) as being a Good 4, which is what you would expect given that it hasn’t rained a drop in Rocky all week, the sun is shining brightly and it’s 25 […]
Yo Peter Profit So the recent email sent to Rockhampton Jockey Club members informs them of the new recruits- Damon Quigley as curator and Nick Lloyd as racing liaison officer. The club cries poor and blames lack of manpower on the ground so their solution is to create another admin position? How does this fix […]
Saturday’s Doomben Cup may well have attracted a disappointing field of just seven, but it is one seriously high class contest and is going to be one hell of a good race. Half Yours is a dual Caulfield-Melbourne Cup winner, and throughout history there aren’t many of them. Vauban is a triple Group winner on […]
The Ipswich racecourse has been deluged with rain in the 24 hours up to yesterday, copping a downfall of 55m of water that has rendered the track as of 5.30pm yesterday a Heavy 10. Being built on a flood plain next to a river Ipswich doesn’t drain real fast. Racing QLD knowing this has postponed […]
Stephen Massingham and Georgie Holt are the two leading trainers in Far North QLD. That is where the similarity ends. About 1 in every 4 of Holt’s runners gets pre-race swabbed. Only 1 in 20 of Stephen Massingham’s does. Why is that? It doesn’t make sense. The trainers who win the most races should have […]
You’d be smiling too if you tipped six winners in a row Who is this academic who tipped the Big 6 with single selections many readers are asking. We came across this rare piece of footage in the archives of the naked tipster Dr Georgia Whiting being interviewed by the ABC on the streets of […]
