Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Me thinks his friends should chip in to buy racing.com scribe Trent Masenhelder a calendar for Xmas. At least that way he might know what year it is. I doubt she will be having another run in 2025. Not unless I can too.
Fox Sports need to get their facts right. Andrea Leek wasn’t the 2nd female trainer to win a Cox Plate. She was the third. Deidre Stein from Bathurst was the first, in 1995 with Rising Prince. The second was Moira Murdoch from Auckland, who won it with Solvit in 1994. None of this takes away […]
I guess when it comes to it we are all a little bit vain, but it’s hard not to say that the one time leading Sydney racing writer Ray Thomas takes self-love a little way beyond the pale. Peroxide is in Ray’s world the new black. Good luck to him. But I hate to say […]

Adam Hamilton is a discredit to himself, his profession and the sport of harness racing. The tragedy is that he was once a great journalist, the doyen of trot writers and commentators in Australia. I don’t know what has happened, but these days he seems to be just a sycophant who prefers the easy type […]
by Adam Hamilton After a race Down Under harness racing should have celebrated for weeks, the unfortunate dark side of the game ruined it for one of Australia’s top young drivers. Amidst the disappointment of Leap To Fame’s luckless yet enormous run, in defeat to wonder mare Captains Mistress, in the Inter Dominion pacing final, […]
Betting pre-post with the TAB is a very dangerous game. Unders are almost every bets middle name. Here below are the prices on the TAB that Racenet was spruiking in the lead up to the race. Value extraordinaire they were. Not. The TAB early prices are in bold. The SP is next to it. Yeah […]
Fuck knows what Karl Stefanovic is on, but you only need to take one look at interviewing the mad right-wing racist Tommy Robinson to know that it’s something. This is not the Karl we used to know from the morning show. The fella we are looking at is off his tits. He’s out of his […]
