The Bonnington Method of Race Writing – Slag the Opposition, But Never Criticise Your Mates
All anyone can do is report the facts & in this case there aren't many facts. If you want reporters like myself or @AdamHSport laying the boots in to satisfy those gagging for it, that ain't gonna happen. At the end of the day doing that, you're extremely likely to look the fool. https://t.co/QwElHLWdCg — […]
Bonno is Off His Rocker Crocker – Here is His Latest Inane Ramble, With Our Comments Underneath
A place for everything, and everything in its place. This durable dictum, most often attributed to prolific polymath and American forefather, Benjamin Franklin seems, on face value, to represent a truism simplistic and self-evident by nature. In spite of initial appearance, however, this plaintive platitude, this fundamental cliché has confused and confounded its adherents in […]
The Perfect Example of Everything That is Wrong With the Harness Racing Media
Imagine if Tommy Berry or James McDonald had been outed from the gallops game. You wouldn’t have to would you, for it did happen. The racing media were all over it. Now shift to harness racing, and think about what would happen if the ‘Greatest Trainer of All Time’ – the Goat – had been […]
Chynna’s Side of the Story – in Her Own Words, it’s Complete and Utter Bullshit
It’s a great story. What a shame it’s a load of crap. She is blaming Johnny Scorse for all her problems. All the poor bastard did was have and a roadie and a cigarette on the way home. We all feel hugely sorry for Chynna about what happened to her. It may well have been […]
Snowy Makes Dr Harry Look Like a Genius – Perhaps He is Too – After All He is From Geebung, and Doesn’t Speak Edgar Britt
Snowy was real good looking once you know. Dr Harry was too. What the hell happened? Who the fuck knows what Bruce ‘Snowy’ Clark is on about these days? I doubt even he does. What on earth was he trying to achieve in the story published underneath? Where was he going with it? How does […]
How Racing Can Learn from Matildas Juggernaut – A Self-Penned Snowy Paeon to Nothing
My daughter is having twins on Wednesday, one of each to add to the stable, and names have already been approved. But there has been a late push to change the girl to a Matilda, Tilly of course for short. She has no-say in it, the protest will ultimately be dismissed, but had loads of […]
These Racing Writers From the Murdoch Papers Sure are Slow Learners
A growing feud between jockeys Bradley Appo and Sariah Champkin threatens to engulf the Toowoomba Turf Club community. Veteran rider Appo and apprentice Champkin have both been suspended following a July 1 trackwork incident. Appo has been banned for three months after Queensland Racing Integrity Commission stewards determined he was riding dangerously toward Champkin during […]
Sprint Races and Spin – Deconstructing Adman Hamiton’s Nonsense About 1200m Trot Races
While harness racing has a rich history, we can’t bemoan the loss of what’s in the past or cry for the resurrection of things that worked 20, 30 or 40 years ago. This is now. Everything is faster, slicker and more polished. We’re in a ‘bite-sized’ world, but harness racing has remained largely unchanged. An ode […]
What a Fucking Disgrace
The Australian’s very well named literary critic Peter Craven has delivered a polemic in that paper this morning in which he defends the accused – and on the face of it quite certain pervert – actor Kevin Spacey against the allegations of sexual assault brought against him by four different and quite unrelated witnesses. Spacey […]
