Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The fact is, my friend, they're here to stay. If you spent a minute considering my point, it's thus. Six furlong races shouldn't be on metro cards. Should we assign one meeting every fortnight or so to showcase these 'kitsch' events, they live & exist in their own world. End of. https://t.co/sDgNNSQCx1 — Jason Bonnington […]
There are whispers all about town that Tabcorp has made the hugely popular presenter Glenn Munsie redundant. Is it true? If so, why? Watch this space.
Bonno reckoned Max’s Delight was a $1.30 shot. I reckoned it was that to get beaten. It did. Thanks for coming Jason. Keep on trying son.
Do you reckon we should write more stories about Harness Racing NSW? Especially ones about J. Dumesny and M. Prentice? It seems to get results doesn’t it? There is just one problem with KA Morris’s DQ though. All her horses will get transferred to her husband Robbie, who is the real trainer anyway, or one […]
The growing preponderance of preferential barrier draws on Victorian metro meetings since the National Ratings system was introduced harbours interesting origins. For years – even decades – there’s been an unverified, almost patriarchal belief that making races more even encourages wagering interest, which raises turnover and increases stakemoney.

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. It’s just another ruthless decision by the greedy media baron who arguably would have spent more on ‘married at first sight’ than revenue lost by the super […]
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 […]
