Peter Fitzsimons is one Australia’s master sports writers. In fact Fitz in one of our all time great writers full stop. It doesn’t mean that he’s flawless though. Fitz wakes lyrical in his post-match Origin report about Robert Toia “the debutant Blues centre arriving exactly where history says its heroes must arrive – first”. There […]
Gold Coast coach Damien Hardwick has deflected criticism of the gambling industry back at the AFL amid concerns about the Suns’ links with bookmakers. Hardwick’s press conference in Darwin reached a flashpoint when the Suns coach was asked about team manager Mark Opie on Thursday. Opie is subject to an AFL integrity unit investigation after […]
The mainstream media, who like the AFL Integrity Unit are now all het up about the issue, are claiming that Crikey broke the story about the bookie Mark Opie working on the staff of the Gold Coast Suns. What a load of absolute bullshit. We first raised the conflict of interest issues between Opie’s role […]

Lizzie starts launching into a monologue about how only the very greats of racing win back to back Australian […]
At 7.00am this morning Autumn Glow was, according to Racenet, in Chris Waller’s stable in Melbourne. The afternoon before they had the mare as being in the Gold Coast barn of the master trainer. Now at 9.00m the champ is finally back in Sydney. It was a nice up and down the East Coast jaunt. […]
Yesterday “Australia’s Premier Horse Racing” website Racenet had the champion mare Autumn Glow being trained at Chris Waller’s stable at the Gold Coast.
