Ode To a Great Former Sky Trot Man From the Good Old Days – Roy’s Mate
When you need a hero. Holler for a Marshall. He’s a tough guy writ large.
Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
When you need a hero. Holler for a Marshall. He’s a tough guy writ large.
I thin Adman Hamilton’s forgotten someone. No-one important. Just the greatest trotter that Australia has ever seen. Maori’s Idol. He was rather good you know. The Kiwis I am sure might want to throw world record holder Sundees Sun into the mix too, as well as former NZ horses of the year and winners of […]
Remember Sally Snow, the former high profile trading manager for the TAB who looked like butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth? The one who proved to the world that looks can at times be very deceiving? Snow was the one-time face of the TAB who three years ago was warned off race tracks around the […]
So now, according to Jason Bonnington, a stock standard cold winter ordinary nights racing at Melton is Shakespearian. A three act play. My old mate Keith from Queensland is fond of pronouncing his deeply considered conclusion that any man who says that he doesn’t pull himself is a wanker. I wonder if Keith does it […]
Well known harness racing identity Alan Gaskell’s grandson who lives in Pattaya, Thailand is a handsome young man isn’t he? Isn’t nice of his pop to shoot over with a few mates to see him? He didn’t need to take any gifts of candy with him by the look of it. There is plenty of […]
Why won’t Tszyu face Michael Zerafa? https://t.co/0oLp5RoeQz — Damien Ractliffe (@DamienRactliffe) June 18, 2023 Is sports journalist Damien Ratcliffe for real? Why won’t Tszyu fight Zerafa?

Here is my stake in the ground. The ABC are absolute wowsers and wankers. Have you seen the government funded broadcaster’s so-called ‘expose’ on sports betting this week? What a crock of shit it was, an absolute Tim Costello style all gambling is evil because we say polemic published by a bunch of punt haters […]
Hail Mary wins Gr II at Ostersund; Just Believe third 11 June 2023 Hail Mary (Googoo Gaagaa) disappointed in the Elitlopp, but was a winner again in the Group II Jämtland Stora Pris in Östersund Saturday. Australian champion trotter, Just Believe, who made a costly break in his heat of the Elitlopp, was a game […]
Listen to this. It’s Jason Bonnington speaking. ‘Really, (indistinct) had a gear change that much. Probably should. Brittany Graham’s not really my go.” WTF? Everyone in racing knows that a gear change in the way that this grub is talking about it means gelding, or having your testicles removed. Bonnington has said this is on […]
The hot rumor on the track is that Chynna Marston has been sacked today by Sky Channel. We are waiting for confirmation, but our sources on this one are very rarely wrong. All you can say if it is true is that she brought it all on herself, and deserved it. No-one who neglects horses […]
