Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
One of the curious anomalies with the betting markets on Jockey and Driver Challenges is that there are no deductions applied for scratchings. What I mean by that is if you back a horse to win a race at evens and it is pulled out at the barrier you cop massive deductions off the face […]
We come to race 8 at Gloucester Park last night. The favourite is 2-1 on in the old parlance, or $1.50 in today’s language. A horse named Alcippes Delight, who was drawn on the outside of the back row, was backed from $13.00 into $4.80 to beat it. One guess who owns Alcippes Delight, or […]
Well Sportsfans, if you followed our expert judgement like the Doc did, you’d be as rich as Croesus after Sharp ‘N’ Smart’s outstanding victory in the rescheduled Gloaming Stakes today. The Doc is, and I would be too, if only they didn’t have hurdle races on late at night in the post-coital hours at the […]

The ‘Aussie Fair Play Coalition’ was a crock of crap from the start. It is not really a coalition at all. Tabcorp own, run and fund it 100 percent. The so called coalition partners are the pubs and clubs who came on board because they receive commissions from bets through their pub TAB terminals, and […]
We gave you three tips this morning. Private Eye won, paying $5.30 and $2.20 (although we got $6 using the boost on Neds). Argentia ran second and paid $2.50 the place. She’s Extreme also ran second and paid $1.70 the place. If you had a single unit on each the win you returned a profit […]
Curly Seal (pictured at top) is a controversial and well known rather infamous character in the Australian bookmaking diaspora. A man renowned in racing circles for taking bets and then betting them back to shave a free slice, Seal came to national prominence when pro punter Steve Fletcher and his then backer Eddie Hayson played […]
A good mate of mine has had a wretched year on the punt. So bad has it been that for the first time in at least 15 years the poor bastard has had to get a job.\ A real one, that pays weekly wages. It’s a fate worse than death to a horseman, because it […]
