Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
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 […]
We have few things to say, and instead will reflect on the issue by asking a few questions, as follows: Is anyone actually surprised? Have the QRIC Stewards gone back and looked at any of Callow’s rides since he has been in Queensland? Have they looked at the ones that showed up in the betting […]
G’day My name’s Archie Butterfly, and I write about racing. The website is peterprofit.com, and it’s widely read by racing participants. I wish to be placed on your media distribution list please, and be placed on the same standing as Ben Dorries, because although he is very good when it comes to writing about racing, I am too, albeit […]
Ben Dorries from Racenet never ceases to amaze. On Saturday he told us a tale of woe about the treatment of Alligator Allan Endresz by Racing Victoria, and pleaded with the world to support the undischarged bankrupt who owes Australia $11.8 million and won’t pay, on the basis that Alligator Al always pays his feed […]
It’s too late to try and change it, and there would be no point trying anyway because Peter V’Landys is all too powerful, but I want to state for the record that I reckon changing the name of the Stan Fox Stakes to the Callander-Presnell is an out and out disgrace. I mean no disrespect […]
