Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Dave ‘The Sultan’ Strehlau (above left) is one of the Two Units, with has mate Nick ‘Footy’ Foot (above right) being the other. These Two Units are a couple of these new age metrosexual types who are covered in tatts, wear t-shirts and shorts everywhere they go, even in winter, start off punting over a […]
Three months ago this Nick the Cobbler character was on the bones of his arse living in a bedsit with his wife out the back of huis rented shop surrounded by shoeboxes. He didn’t even have a lounge room or room to swing a cat, mainly because he was punting every cent he earned over […]
It was very nice of all those Blues supporters to take a cruise up to Port Douglas disembark en masse at the markets and infect us all up here, before they turned around and went back to Brisbane to try and win an Origin series by knocking The Munster out. Nice try fellas. All you […]
I met this Irish bloke named Tony at the yacht club the other night. (Aye aye skipper, and thanks for good live music, and the $5 spirits). Tony was the hubby of one of Maggie’s friends, and I introduced myself by telling him the story of how I’d just snapped the shower head rod thing […]
Just last week regular reader Dandy Andy and I engaged in a robust but respectful (e.g – you’re speaking crap Archie/you wouldn’t know your arse from your head Andrew/etc) debate about delays in the broadcast of racing, and how some punters were gaining a considerable advantage betting in the run by being on course or […]
Every story on this website today and always about my mad punting mates are true. Believe it or not. Life on the punt. Who the hell would want it any other way?

Most readers are by now familiar with the world famous film The Yoyo, an autobiographical thriller about life on the punt, written, directed by and starring Melbourne Mick. Mick is the world’s second worst punter (behind me). Unlike Marvellous Merv he can tip a winner – in fact sometimes he even tips seven or eight […]
It is not often that I fully agree with Jason Bonnington. I do here. ————————————————- From a purely cultural perspective, the chasm between regional and urban Australia has never been greater. And based on Saturday night’s metropolitan trotting results, this chasm may extend to standardbreds as well. Last weekend, Shepparton hosted top-class racing action to […]
Well sportsfans, we came up empty handed in the v Bonno challenge this week. We couldn’t find a winner on that dumb-arse Shepparton track to save our lives. Bonno couldn’t either, but as we spotted him $200 start he wins. Congratulations Sir, but don’t spend all your winnings at once, because there aren’t any, and […]
