Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The Sunshine Coast today could only attract enough runner to put on a 6 race race card, and 5 of the 6 couldn’t pull sufficient starters to get an 8 horse field. These six races had fields of 6, 7, 5, 6, 7, and 9. That can hardly be good for betting turnover, and it […]
Can anyone tell me what Tim Clark thought he was doing on Zoe’s Promise in The Wave? A mate of mine is convinced that Clark was riding to get the mare beaten, but I am not so sure. I simply believe that he had a brain explosion. There is merit in both theories, because every […]
It was a day of some top jockeys making poor decisions at the Gold Coast. Jamie Kah’s ride in the first on Iowa should have been the giveaway. What possessed her to think that she could kick for home on the turn on a limited stayer like this and still hold them all off all […]
Tim Clark should study the replay of the 2nd last race at the Gold Coast over and over so he can watch Craig Williams brilliance writ large and learn how to shoot the gaps. Clark is a great front running rider, one of the best in the land, as he demonstrated on Vanquished in the […]
At 7.00am yesterday morning the Racing Information Service Australia (RISA) website – the repository of all official racing information in the nation – had the Gold Coast track rated as a Good 4 for today’s opening meeting of the Magic Millions carnival. Yet almost nine hours later at 3.57pm the TAB were telling their customers […]
Those who were at Gatt9n on Thursday and witnessed the incident that could very nearly have cost apprentice jockey Emily Pomfrett her life tell a rather disturbing tale that makes you wonder about the humanity of some people. Apparently the incident occurred at a time when the runners should have been around at the barriers, […]
A lot of people are asking serious questi0ns about Blake Shinn’s ride on Propice in the 7th race at Seymour on Wednesday, the Victorian Stewards included. They have opened and then adjourned an inquiry into the ride, to give them time to review the betting sheets. That makes sense. Shinn’s ride doesn’t. Propice is trained […]
Insiders have been puzzled as a senior racing figure left Flemington after spending a decade climbing the ranks. A high ranking racing official has departed Flemington after more than a decade to “explore new opportunities”. The Victoria Racing Club confirmed on Thursday that Peter Mineo had left his senior role, which was crucial to delivering […]

The Wave is a WFA race this Saturday at the Gold Coast over 1800mfor 3 and 4-year-old gallopers. It is worth $250 000 in stakes. The winner also gets a wildcard entry into the $1 million Magic Millions Subzero race a week later. It’s also somewhat of a joke. The field for the race is […]
