Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
I love Crash Craddock. When I was a teenage kid I worked as a copy boy (fledging journalist) in the Sports Room of what was then Queensland’s Daily Sun. John Hartigan was the Editor, and an abrasive but hugely effective boor named Col Allan was his Chief of Staff. They both went on to become […]
We are told that one time harness racing identity and bon vivant Marshall Dobson is these days living in Manila, or somewhere nearby. I wonder if MD is into Asian men or women? Based on past form it could be a bit each way. Somewhat like the bloke himself. Bon Scott was too. What Australian […]
The Age published this story yesterday. My wife Maggie (painted above) reckons I told you and her the same story on Monday. Know what? I think she is right. They’re a bit slow aren’t they? You always hear it here first. No Care, And Zero Responsibility Sees a Poor Young Dog Get Hung Greyhound Baba […]
Brittany, Mick, Ryan, Bronte, TOC and Josh, with Dan Milecki calling. The dream team reunites. It’s not the horses who are going to be good at the Hunter Cup. Welcome back Britt. We’ve missed you. You too Mick. Kia Ora!

Tasracing has released a statement confirming the race distance was “marginally less” than the scheduled 2400m distance as a […]
How great it was to see Jason Bonnington at Cranbourne tonight. The poor bugger doesn’t look to be that well. I half wonder if he hasn’t had some health issues. But he was in his usual inimitable form. Anyone who loves the trots as much as my mates and I do is alright by me […]
I don’t know who this Sam Lyons clown is, because coat tuggers aren’t my style, but what I have discovered is that he is employed by racing.com at Head of Form of Wagering, which is bizarre given that when it comes to picking winners he has about a tenth of the ability as out nude […]
Three independent racing publications, including The Thoroughbred Report, have recently received correspondence from Peter V’landys’ and/or Racing NSW’s legal counsel in response to reporting on governance matters within the New South Wales thoroughbred racing industry. We want to make one point unequivocally clear: responsible journalism must not be met with legal intimidation. Independent media exists to […]
The Thoroughbred Report (TTR) claims, in a public statement it issued on Wednesday regarding legal correspondence served on it by Racing NSW, that it is an independent racing publication. This claim is not true. Allow us to explain why. T0ny Tighe is identified in the story above published by TRR as a thoroughbred breeder, racehorse […]
Victoria Leonard in our previous story is the same person who is presently involved in a bitter stoush with Peter V’Landys over the issues of (a) whether or not she personally profited from a purportedly not for profit event, by virtue of her private company getting the paid gig to run it; and (b) whether […]
