Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Dostoevsky (pictured above) wrote Crime and Punishment, and Demons too. It’s all just Russian to me. Every gambler knows That the secret to surviving Is knowing what to throw away And knowing what to keep ‘Cause every hand’s a winner And every hand’s a loser And the best that you can hope for Is to […]
As far as I am aware my childhood mate J.Catton didn’t have a cent on Lucky Hero that night. My other lifelong friend M. Cranitch didn’t either, despite me both telling them to. They were the owner and trainer. What would I know though? Only how to work out greyhound form. And how to get […]
No matter how long you have been involved in racing, there are still things you learn every day. The case of the two late scratchings in the first race at the Sunshine Coast yesterday is one of them. I don’t recall having ever seen anything like this before. Two runners were scratched late. The QOP […]
Archie I hate to shatter your dreams, but as an English teacher I feel obliged to inform you that in order to do something again you have to have done it before. For instance, win a million dollars on the punt. You have to have won a million previously before you can do it again, […]
Since when had any horse run 25.8 seconds for the first quarter at Hobart and won?\ Like, never. Prove it if you think I am wrong. I have never seen it happen. Ever. It didn’t happen last night other. Truth is it that it was probably never going to either, because against my best advice […]

The horse in the picture was home to the world in a jumps race at Fakenham the night before last. $1.01 it was in play coming to the last. But all horse players die broke. Just like this.
I had a good go at Captain’s Mistress to win the Group 1 Queen Of Hearts at Alexandra Park. Nathan Williamson drove a bottler. She swept up to the leader in the straight and went straight past. Captain’s Mistress was home to the world. And then with 25m to go the seat fell off. It […]
Shane Graham is a leopard. He never changes his spots. Rock Supreme was backed from $21 into $10 in race 1 at Albion Park. It started from the inside row in 8, with Bronski Zulu drawn in front of it in 1. Graham drove the Zulu, but he didn’t drive it to win. He drove […]
The QRIC has issued an industry notice telling us who can and can’t punt, or to more precise just who can’t. None of these people listed are allowed to have a bet at a race meeting that they are working at: Steward Veterinary Surgeon Handicapper Judge Starter Clerk of the Course or Clerk of the […]
