Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Leading Perth gallops trainer Grant and Alana Williams were charged with presenting the horse Starry Heights to race in the 2025 Kalgoorlie Cup with the prohibited substance Ritalinic acid in its system. Ritalinic acid is how Ritalin, the stimulant given to kids with ADHD, breaks down in the mammalian body. Horses like humans are mammals. […]
I don’t think Missy Lyn (pictured parading before the first race at Laura on the weekend) is ever going to be selected as the pick of the yard. No disrespect to the slow mare, but she ain’t no oil painting. Nellie she’s not. Missy Lyn is never going to be a beauty queen. But a […]
Bodine Bailey trained galloper Heez Da Man finished 3rd in a race in Cairns on the 4th of April. It has subsequently been disqualified from the race. There is no Stewards Report about the matter yet, but the word is that it that Bobo’s horse threw a positive swab. We don’t know to what. The […]
There was a protest 1st v 2nd in the last at Townsville yesterday. The side view is above. Head on below. The margin was SFA. I thought the interference was clear, and I would have upheld it. The Stewards disagreed. Protest dismissed. You be the judge.

I told you that if it came up mud at Eagle Farm then Rollup was a chance in the Battle of the Bush. It came up mud. And he won. At $18.00 SP. God bless you mother nature. You’re a wet T-shirted honey. https://www.tab.com.au/racing/2026-06-27/EAGLE-FARM/EAG/R/4
I have been assailed on all sides over my article bagging the Alpha Jockey Club for charging $100 a head to get into the races this weekend, and after considering the views of my critics, I have to put my hand up and say that they are right and that I was wrong. Alpha’s race […]
Dr Whiting PhD has gone demure this week. No skin, just hotplates, coffee, horses, knives and a cup. And a whole lot of winners to go with it. Have a highly prosperous day. Donald Trump said that. He won Iowa in a landslide in the 2024 election too. Perhaps that’s an omen for the nude […]
Archie Re your story about wins an extra ratings points. It is common for a horse to not get penalised for winning a set weights plate race when it is well in compared to its benchmark rating if it were to be a handicap race. Below rating of 68 there are full point increments and […]
