Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Licenses trainer in semi-retirement Mark ‘Boof’ Currie has been outed for 6 months after he pleaded guilty to presenting a horse to race at Warwick on Boxing Day last year with Phenylbutazone (Bute) in its system. It seems to me to be quite an outrageously excessive penalty, one handed down on Boof Currie due to […]
Accused fraudster Darren Wilson (left) with trainer Kelly Schweida, our man Wayne Innes mate. The plot gets thicker when it comes to the pork. We told you last week that prominent porcine producer Darren Wilson, the racing identity currently facing a raft of criminal charges in relation to his alleged financial dealings, was the father-in-law […]
“Medal, Medal Medal has made it three Cups in a row!” the caller at Ewan yesterday declared. It’s a shame for the callers connections that he wasn’t right. The inside won. Never mind son, David Fowler often gets it wrong too. At least you had a crack.
The online abuse directed at jockey Tyler Leslight by other racing participants, and the threats made to him, are absolutely disgraceful and totally out of order.

The latest newsletter to Australian Turf Club (ATC) members from administrator Morgan Kelly reveals that the cash strapped club spent $4 million in legal fees fighting Racing NSW’s moves to put it under Kelly’s control. Four million dollars for the lawyers! Only to lose. Is it any wonder that the ATC finds itself under administration […]

Muppet is a 7-year-old thoroughbred mare who is very, very slow. Put simply, she is the best named horse in racing. An absolute muppet. Her form at her last 5 starts reads 00900, and she has been beaten on average more than 20 lengths per race. Yesterday at the Pooncarrie picnics Muppet, true to form, […]
To call what Tony and Calvin McEvoy are doing with their French import Yellow Jersey on Saturday unorthodox is an understatement. They are dropping their Cox Plate hopeful who went horrible first up back from 1700m to 1400m. And at the same time stepping the frog up from a Listed to a Group 1. It’s […]
