Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Further to our story yesterday about one M. Currie trained galloper setting a brutal speed in front that was perfect for it stablemate who came from behind and won, here is the official Stewards report as it relates to the matter. Depth Charge Began awkwardly. Stewards inquired into the tactics adopted on the gelding, specifically […]
Good morning Peter Profit The Steward-in -charge in Central-West QLD should be sacked. The things that has happened since they arrived here have been a joke.. You can’t be a Steward and still be everyone’s friend like this one tries to be, its an impediment to properly performing your job. There have been disqualified people […]
The Steward’s don’t agree with me, but they couldn’t write a coherent report if their lives depended on it, so who’d listen to them? Craig Williams dropped his hands on Growing Empire in the final few strides of the Manikato on Friday night, and it arguably cost him the race. Even if it didn’t, it […]
The horse that goes psycho in front is trained by Mark Currie. So is the winner. There are no obvious betting fluctuations that suggest the tearaway was a pacemaker for the other, buy if I were the betting steward I’d be inspecting the multi bets and the exotics. Whichever way you view it, this is […]
As if Sariah Champkin didn’t have enough problems already, here’s another one. Champkin is a bankrupt. The QRIC have issues with licensing bankrupt jockeys, because of the perception that they may be vulnerable to copping slings to ride their mounts uncompetitively, or in other words to hook them. It is for that reason that riders […]

Mt Magnet (pop. 576) Mid-west WA mining town approx. 575km north-east of Perth on the way to Paynesville? Way to where? Exactly. One of its open cut mines is named after an arsehol. It’s that sort of town. Barraba (pop. 1410) NSW gold rush era town in the New England area, between Upper Manilla and […]
The Australian horseracing industry is the second largest Thoroughbred racing and breeding industry internationally, contributing over $9.1 billion Australian dollars (AUD) value to the national economy [1]. At least one third of the contribution to this figure comes from wagering. For consumers to invest in wagering with confidence, it is essential to maintain a fair gambling […]
Archie Thanks for noting the Daniel Ganderton penalty, I missed that one hidden at the bottom of a steward report rather than being a separate enquiry as it should have been. Chief Steward Bruce Free ‘Ride’ had 3 misconduct matters to deal with, and he sounded like the old broken record on each one with […]
If this protest decision in the 5th at Mackay on Tuesday wasn’t a raw prawn left out in the sun for six days, then I don’t one that was. The horse in the yellow and olive diagonal stripes beats the one in the cream and brown on its outside by a nose. A protest if […]
