Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Richmond is a rural town in north-west QLD, not that far from Mt Isa. The race club out there put on a five race meeting on the weekend. Jockeys who rode at it earned $1250 in fees, plus the chance of up to $1700 in commission on prizemoney won, which is not a bad earn […]
There is nothing whatsoever in the official Stewards report about the matter, but those who were on course at Gayndah on Saturday tell us that a deputation of three jockeys approached the stipes about 20 minutes before race 1 expressing a reluctance to ride at the meeting due to concerns about the state of the […]
Hi Archie When you look at the photo finish the white line is not drawn on the correct angle. If you look at the photo finish mirror on the infield the line does not start in the middle of the mirror but well in front of it. Move it back to the correct position and […]
Race 4 in Sydney. The outside wins for sure. Or so you think. It doesn’t. The inside horses number goes up in the frame. WTF? How the hell did that happen? I know the still shot I have put up is a quarter of a stride before the post. But puh-lease!
It’s Stradbroke Handicap day, Queensland’s greatest race meeting, and it’s come up mud. The track right now is a Heavy 9, but this is Eagle Farm, the fastest draining track in the world, so if the rain stays away we are a huge chance of the surface improving. At the moment the BOM weather radar […]

As Archie has told you it’s my Nude Tips 1 year anniversary this Saturday and it’s been a wild and hugely enjoyable rollercoaster ride. I’ve picked this week’s photo in honor of my Viking ancestors, me going as hard as I can for the punters for 52 consecutive weeks of The Battle. I’ve won (editor’s […]
It has been a year tomorrow since Dr Georgia Whiting began sharing her Nude Tips with readers, and what a rollicking – and highly profitable – 12 month ride it has been. Who could ever forget Dr Whiting giving us 6 winners in a row, the Quaddie and the Big Six one out with her […]
Based on how the last race at Mackay was run yesterday you would have to suspect that the winner Red Hot Lizzie is the best named horse in history, because this race sure did look red hot. Lizzie is trained by former trot driver Lachie Manzelmann. Manzelmann had four of the eleven runners in the […]
