Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
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 […]
When I was a kid professional punters didn’t have real jobs. They bet on horses for a living, which is why they were called pros. It makes sense when you think about it. So how can it be that James Molony – aka the self titled Guru – is a professional punter, when he actually […]

The Author and the Breeder, after having a kick around at Rex Smeal Oval to celebrate Geelong’s big win over the Pies. Two of Victoria’s leading owners and breeders were up in Port Douglas this weekend, celebrating one huge win and the prospect of another tomorrow. We won’t tell you their names because they are […]
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. […]
The Last Chance hadn’t won a race in his past 13 starts. In fact he hadn’t won one for 9 months. At his past 8 starts the horse’s average starting price had been $42.25. On Monday night at Shepparton the bookie’s opened The Last Chance up at $34.00, which seemed about the right price given […]
