Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Ricky Vale back in his bodybuilding days, showing off his muscles Can you remember ever seeing a horse in the modern age attempt to carry 70.5 to victory in a feature flat race like Ricky Vale’s great provincial galloper Namazu will in the Tattersells Gold Cup at Rockhampton this afternoon? Both Greg from the Gold […]
Strike me pink. What an absolute garbage report this Stewards finding is. Carl Spry never attempted to put the horse into the race. A wide open run that you could have sailed an ocean liner through opened right in front of him down the running. Spry didn’t take it. He didn’t take any runs, or […]
If you backed the short-priced favorite Fleetwood in race 8 at Caulfield this afternoon you have a right to be very, very upset, particularly after watching this and seeing why you missed the kick. Was this an accident on the part of the barrier attendant? Or was it something a whole lot worse? I don’t […]
A few weeks ago we told you the story of a race in Perth in which a $1.14 favorite got rolled as a result of a pair of homicidal drives by two of the best reinsman in the west Gary Hall Jr and Ryan Warwick, who I reckoned drove the wat they did with deliberate […]
Turn To Glory was the mediuum of a huge first-up plunge in race 2 at Albury on Monday, where punters came out of trees to back it from $12.00 into $3.50. It was the go of the day, and should have won by panels. W0uld have won panels. If jockey Jack Martin didn’t ride it […]
Cans of Rum and Coke at Doomben yesterday $13 each. $312 per carton. Fair go…. A plain Four and Twenty meat pie $10.50. Give me a break…. Fair dinkum. A man might have to start taking a cut luncg and a thermos to the track. Is it any wonder hardly anyone goes to the midweek […]

Erin Carpio, who owned and trained then 6-year-old Sir Steele, alleges the gelding was injured after his […]
https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=832301231724371 ‘Racin’ Nathan Exelby’s new career as the CEO of the Ipswich Turf Club has certainly begun with a bang, following the news that disgraced former mayor turned jailed sex offender Paul Pisasale spent Saturday afternoon in the VIP tent at the Ipswich Cup race day as an invited guest of the club committee, of […]
There is no such place in Queensland as McKinley. The town where they raced on the weekend – the one that is home to the Walkabout Creek pub that featured in Crocodile Dundee – used to be called Mackinlay after the first white man to discover the local river, but since a change of name […]
Tyler Lesight had been outed for 4 weeks for calling fellow jockey Wanderson D’Avila a black c**t. It was a remark made for chivalrous reasons, but the way it was delivered was wrong. Everyone knows that D’Avila is a c**t. A wife beating, woman exploiting and then abandoning, violent but cowardly no good piece of […]
