Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
What can you say? Look at me, look at me, look at me? The leftover Alligators want to be left alone. So they race to do an interview with Ben Dorries. My taste in cheerleaders only stretches to abolishing them. And stops at about Mickey. What a pity. The Alligator is a real good horse. […]
It is only a little thing to most, but to journalists and racing writers it’s huge. Imagine if you discovered something that would extend your life by 10 years. It would be worth a fortune, and you would be rich beyond compare. Unless someone stole it from you, and became rich instead. Little shitty stories […]
There is now very strong mail floating about suggesting that ALL of Todd Austin’s gallopers that had trackwork gallops at Birdsville on Tuesday morning were hit with a jigger. In the absence of any photos or footage it is not possible to prove these claims to be true, at least not without a witness statement. […]
As is his custom and wont, Ben Dorries has once again ripped off one of our exclusive investigative stories, and claimed it as his own. I guess that’s what you do when you have no media releases to regurgitate, or bankrupt crooks with an arse to kiss. Sadly however, Big Ben has got it wrong. […]
Honesty, as Billy Joel once warbled, is very hard to find; particularly in racing of all three codes. Predominantly, the white lies on offer, these days at least, are neither nefarious nor dangerous in nature. Despite what many may wish to believe about harness racing in particular, the ravenous rorts of yesteryear are cheerfully consigned […]
Lachlan Murdoch is suing Crikey for defamation. They didn’t ask or invite him to, he just did it. It happens to me all the time. Mark Di Stefano, the writer for the Australian Financial Review, claims that Crikey published private legal correspondence between them and Murdoch. That’s bullshit. A threat letter – aka a Concerns […]
I am expecting Alligator Blood to be given the green light to race in the Victorian spring carnival, starting with next Saturday’s Group 1 Memsie Stakes where Damien Oliver is poised to ride. The situation isn’t quite resolved but I understand a change of ownership, with colourful owner Allan Endresz potentially selling his share in the […]
Who the fuck says this about a highly respected member of the harness racing media on her final show? This Bonnington is an imbecile, and a highly disrespectful one too. I would have thought that Nikkita Ross deserved a whole lot better than this. She did, but it’s all about Bonno isn’t it? It always […]
There is nothing like a form expert who doesn’t know the form. Or the fields. Or the starting positions. Jason Bonnington. Genius.
Nurse, nurse, call the medics! Last week he was cheerleading for the bankrupt crook Allan Endresz, this week Ben Dorries from Racenet is spruiking putting the Melbourne Spring Carnival back to summer. This bloke is off his head. Customer focused, customer focused, Dorrie screams repeatedly. We’re not customers mate, we are punters. Customers are what […]
