The Greatest Load of Horse Manure That You Have Ever Read in Your Life
Just when you thought racing politics couldn’t get any murkier. It was industry gossip late last year that Racing NSW wouldn’t pay rich strapper bonuses, paid to the handler of the winning horse, if the winning trainer was licenced outside of New South Wales. The common reaction was, to paraphrase, ‘surely not?’, considering that for […]
On the Modern Racing Media
It takes me back to a story my grandmother told me about Jesus and Barabbas. Jesus is standing on one side, Barabbas is standing on the other side, and the people have to choose which one of them could go free. Some people started yelling, “Barabbas! Barabbas! Barabbas!” Then so many people were doing that […]
Where is Your Champ Now Adman?
Don’t you dare criticise Captain Ravishing peterprofitracing.com or blogger (sic) Butterfly. You’re a negative bastard who hates harness racing if you do. Dissent will not be tolerated. Emma and Clayton – who by the way slip me the occasional for spruiking them – are the future of the sport. Not a bad word may be […]
Adam Hamilton Still Thinks The Truth is a Tabloid Newspaper
The problem with mug lairs like Adam Hamilton are that they are corrupt and take bribes, they can’t tip, they punt like imbeciles, have massive egos that are totally unjustified, that half-talented competitors scare them so much they revert to unsupported sledges to assert their self delusions of superiority, and that the truth is such […]
I Think Her Name Was Black Caviar Richie
At least we have the excuse of not having an editor to check our spelling and grammar. What’s Richard’s? https://www.racenet.com.au/news/richard-callanders-weekly-australian-horse-racing-column-20230228
Gee Adam, I Didn’t See You Break This ‘Exclusive’ Story – I Guess it Was Too Negative For a Paid Per Ride Pony Like You
I agree. A thorough examination of cash payments made into the bank accounts of Adam Hamilton and/or those closest to him would make for a fascinating case study into the ethics of race writing and ‘alleged’ mainstream journalism too. Being Petty am I Ad-man? Ten ton per ain’t petty to most, if you know what […]
Good Onya Dad
Ben Dorries is a Dickhead – A Dangerous One for Racing Integrity Too – But at Least He’s Classy – Class B at Bundy
So this is how Ben Dorries, the golden boy of QRIC and supposedly Queensand’s premier racing writer – neophyte is a better word – sees racing. A jockey stops riding and sits up without any cause whatsoever at the 50m mark on a horse and costs his horse – and the punters who backed it […]
Data Doesn’t Matter – That’s Why My Mate Overs Just Bought a Condominium Block in the Bahamas and Bonno’s Broke
I don’t mean to pick on Jason Bonnington, for I have never met the bloke and have nothing against him personally. It’s just that he speaks utter crap with such authority that I fear that unsuspecting punters might start to mistake his elevated levels of self-confidence for competence, and start believing the rubbish he spouts, […]
