Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The Radio TAB breakfast show in Queensland has in in instant gone the way of the dinosaur. It’s been scrapped, and will be replaced by the NSW version of the show. Few will miss it, for it was crap. A wank fest run by a bunch of boys posing as clowns. Just listen to the […]
Is Paul Kent taking a lend of us all here? Jake Trbojevic would be the first player picked for Queensland? On what planet? Who would we choose him over? Papa? Tino? Big Pat Carrigan? Lindsay Collins? Jeremiah Nanai? Kurt Capewell? David Fifita? Reuben Cotter? Get out of here. We might pick Payne Hass for a […]
GREEDY RUPERT BURIES ANOTHER GREAT AUSTRALIAN NEWSPAPER RUPERT Murdoch’s News Ltd has decided to close THE SPORTSMAN, which for so long was regarded as Australia’s best racing newspaper.

Sometimes I look around and shake my head and wonder if Richard Callander and I are living in the same world. Today is one of them. Richie wrote what you see above in his Racenet column this week. It is an absolute load of piffle, ridiculous nonsense, and tripe. His argument appears to be that […]

Have you read Adman Hamilton’s latest polemic on the state of harness racing, and how to fix it? Adman says that we need to modernize the sport by turning it in to Trot Rod city. Trot races take too long he reckons. Back in the day a study showed that 30% of air time on […]
Ben Yole always wanted to be famous. Soon he is going to be. For all the wrong reasons. Good on ya Chainsaw. You’ve killed Tasmanian harness racing. Guess what though? The ABC know who you’ve bribed too. Gee I wonder who told them? There must have been a mole in the ranks. Maybe two. Hey […]
All hell has broken out at the Launceston trots tonight. It is Sunday the 19th of March. The ABC have sent a film crew to the Launceston trots. They are after Ben Yole, for employment relations and animal welfare breaches. He is good for all of them too. Yole is panicking. He has directed his […]
It’s been about seven weeks since Bon-Bon wrote his last masterpiece, and gee we’ve missed him. Just like Tim Tzsyu missed Tony Harrison yesterday. Richard Branson didn’t say if you ‘reach higher than you expect, you could reach higher than you ever dreamed’, as out man Jason claims. What he said was that if you […]
