Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Yet another member of the broad syndicate of corrupt professional who have been facilitating wholesale cheating in US racing (and beyond) has taken the fall. Multiple Group 1 winning trainer Jorge Navarro has already nodded to his crimes of doping to win, and is packing his toothbrush and saying his goodbyes as he waits for […]
Dear Peter Profit Allow me to let you and your readers in on a little secret. The Gold Coast track wasn’t sabotaged by a rogue group of animal activists. Those long-haired, cauliflower eating, racing hating dole bludgers are too stoned to poison in such perfect symmetrical straight lines. Plus they couldn’t afford to buy the […]
The Stewards officiating at Saturday’s Toowoomba meeting channeled Santa by the way they practiced the true Xmas spirit of giving,. Giving reprieves not fines or suspensions I mean. Apprentice Dylan Bennett allowed his mount Beirut Miss to shift in when not fully clear of Good Times Again near the 1100m, taking that runner in, obliging […]
Looks like a boom spray has been involved. Chemical from the previous treatment hasn’t been rinsed out properly. Subsequent aesthetic chemical put in to green it up for the tv camera from 600m to winning post. Treatment applied and the first 30m has been the residual from previous treatment and we have a dead square, […]
Having clocked up hundreds of hours of being on the track in 25 years at Burnie and beyond with the water truck operating a boom spray that looks way too regular a patch for the boom spray to have being turned around on whilst still on. The laws of physics mean that the inside of […]
Lucky Lingard has been on fire over at his ever excellent website letsgohorseracing.com, and his last two in depth articles have been crackers.

Several […]
The last time Grubby Day turned up half-pissed to ride after a big night out he spotted the RBT and bolted, then hid in the toilet when the testers went looking for him at the caravan park that he was staying in. N. Day was later able to convince the QLD Racing Appeals Panel that […]
We told you last month about a trainer having been stood down for inappropriately touching a young female jockey as she was being legged up aboard the horse she was riding for him at a country QLD meeting. Inappropriate is not actually the right word to describe the trainer’s outrageous actions – it was an […]
The Gold Coast Turf Club is telling the world that it’s problematic new track has been poisoned. Is it true? If so, whodunnit? And how, and why? What would be the motivation for some miscreant to sneak out on to the Bundall track – presumably in the wee hours, under the cover of darkness – […]
