Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Re: your story about the last race at Cairns on Tuesday. You’re an idiot Archie. Nathan Day lives in Cairns. He is 5 rides back from a collarbone/shoulder type injury. He is limited to a certain amount of rides until back to full fitness. N Day coming back from injury is naturally heavy IVO 60kg. […]
Look at the clods being thrown up on a StrathAyr track rated a Good 4. You’d have to be kidding, this isn’t supposed to happen. New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing and Auckland Thoroughbred Racing – a body created by the amalgamation of the Auckland Racing Club with the Counties Racing Club – spent almost $55 million […]
An investigation is set to commence tomorrow morning (Thursday) into the abandonment of Ellerslie’s Wednesday meeting as a result of safety concerns following a slip on the venues newly installed StrathAyr track. A decision was made to abandon the mid-week meeting following senior jockey Opie Bosson’s report of his horse, The Storyteller, slipping near the […]
A number of people in Far North QLD are asking questions about the last race in Cairns yesterday, most particularly the corporate bookies and Betfair traders who were skinned on the winner Go Getaboy, which is predominantly owned by Cairns Jockey Club chairperson Tom Hedley or his companies, and his mate and fellow committee member […]
Sean Fox was a lawyer for 33 years, a raceh0rse owner and lover of the sport, and a long-time member of the Brisbane Racing Club and its predecessor clubs the BATC and the QTC. He was also a damn nice bloke. Sean hit a hurdle about a decade ago when he suffered some serious health […]
Debbie Kepitis inherited her father’s billions, and has the right to do with it whatever she likes. So far she has done alright, having been part of the group that owned the world’s greatest ever race mare Winx. Paying $10 million for Winx’s daughter after the ownership syndicate fell apart in acrimony is Mrs Kepitis’s […]
The connections of Ocean Zar advised the Stewards – and thus the world – that their horse would be ridden forward in the 7th race at Eagle Farm yesterday if circumstances permitted. Circumstances did. Ocean Zar bounced out moderately and was wide. If Ceejay Graham had elected to she could have hunted it around the […]
Can anyone in the world explain why Celine Gaudray elected to take a sit on Buffalo River in the Victoria Handicap on Saturday at Caulfield? It seems insane given that 6 of of Buffalo River’s 8 Australian wins have come when it has led, and the other two came when it was positioned in 2nd […]
Black Caviar’s son I Am Caviar had his 12th start at the lowly Cranbourne meeting tonight, where he went around for a miserable winners prize of $22 000, the sort of money that neither of his parents would get out of bed in the morning for. The 4yo that would have attracted bids upward of […]
But The Championships have been a game-changer in more ways than one because the transformation of the Sydney autumn carnival effectively marked Racing NSW’s foray into a different aspect of its administration. Racing NSW appointed a chief executive to oversee the introduction, and for the first time, the regulator put itself front and centre as […]
