Imitation is the Sincerest Form of Flattery – Thanks Feathers and Crackers

by : peterprofitracingOctober 12, 2022October 12, 2022

We wrote the story about Chinny Boom 5 days ago, declaring it a star. The mainstream media don’t pinch our stories do they? Much. Trenton Akers wrote this below on Sunday https://www.racenet.com.au/news/not-for-sale-freak-north-queensland-prospect-chinny-boom-is-brisbane-bound-as-owners-fend-off-offers-20221009 And then David Fowler talked it on Monday too. I keep telling you that you hear it first. Hope you believe me now. […]

Proof Positive That Bonnington is a Dill

by : peterprofitracingOctober 8, 2022

Jason Bonnington just said on the Racing.com live coverage that the name Honolua Bay would bring back great memories for gallops fans. I doubt it. Honolua Bay the galloper had 14 starts at the provincials for 1 third in a maiden at Lismore on a heavy track. Bonno of course has got the wrong horse. […]

Is Ben Dorries For Real?

by : peterprofitracingSeptember 16, 2022

Since when was quarter horse racing a ‘radical new code of racing’? They were racing 400 metre sprints down out of the chute at Gympie back when Butler and I were kids picking up bottles at the track to get a bank together, less Doyle’s 20% clip of the ticket that he demanded for giving […]

Class Always Prevails

by : peterprofitracingSeptember 16, 2022September 16, 2022

John Lingard is the most under-rated racing writer in Queensland. He is one of the best too. None of the clowns who bag him have ever edited the racing pages at a time when papers actually had reporters, or have covered the swimming at the Olympics or Commonwealth Games, or called a footy match. That’s […]

The TAB Are Bigger Liars Than Kevin Rudd

by : peterprofitracingSeptember 11, 2022

It’s a significant payout by the Aussie bookmaker as Cleary is best backed with 18 per cent of Clive Churchill Medal market and includes some $1000 outlays. He was as long as $6 with TAB leading up to the first week of finals but is now $3.75 favourite. All single bets on Cleary placed before […]

So Happy That They Do an Interview With a Cheerleader

by : peterprofitracingSeptember 7, 2022

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. […]

Do As I Say, Not as I Do – Ben Dorries is Flying

by : peterprofitracingSeptember 2, 2022September 2, 2022

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 […]

Todd Austin’s Horses Withdrawn From Birdsville Cup Meetingeva

by : peterprofitracingSeptember 1, 2022

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. […]

I Wish I Was a Real Journalist, So I Could Live in the Suburbs and Pay a Mortgage Until I’m 70 Like Dashing Ben Dorries Too

by : peterprofitracingAugust 31, 2022August 31, 2022

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. […]
