Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Tommy Berry must be ruing his comments in an interview with Sky after Hovland’s at Warwick Farm ago. Berry told the interviewer that he “had the opinion of being a lot more positive this morning when I (he) spoke to Tom and John, and full credit to them, they didn’t want me to be that […]
It’s 12.30am on Tuesday morning and finally I have returned back to Port Douglas after my marathon journey to Swan Hill f0r the 3-day carnival. I was put through the trials of Job along the way, but gee it was worth it. Swan Hill is a ripper. A great track, great racing, a great club […]
Ka Ying Cheer won at Swan Hill up on the banks of the Murray River on Friday. I saw it with my own two eyes. There was no way in the world that it was ever going to back up at Flemington at the other end of the State the next day, or anywhere at […]

The $1600 payment to trainer Clinton Taylor to compensate him for the costs involved in takin his horse to Townsville only to be late scratched because of a Racing QLD handicapping error is understandable. Racing QLD trying to place the blame on Racing Australia isn’t. RA isn’t Queensland’s Principal Racing Authority, RQ is. The blame […]
It’s not often that you see a jockey ride himself, but you will in race 3 at Doomben on Wednesday. Number 6 Nozomu is to be ridden by Nozi Tomizawa. Nozi’s full first name is Nozomu. There is an omen bet for you.
Archie You are wrong about the Stewards inspection at Wondai. I was there. Steward Simon Fletcher didn’t just drive the car around the track an hour before the first.
