Zweig is the French black type winner who traveled across the seas to become Australia’s slowest horse, the plodder we told you about earlier in the week that got beaten almost 30 lengths at Eagle Farm last Saturday and got banned.

So jockey Masa Abe goes out to trackwork wearing these META sunglasses, which can film or take photos, play music, talk to you or connect to your phone so you can take calls. In other words, exactly he sort of glasses that riders shouldn’t have on. The Stewards tell Abe to take them off. He […]
The LNP t0ok over as the QLD Government after that imbecile Steven (Smiles) Miles gifted it to them, and as a result a bible bashing hypocrite who knew plenty about footy but SFA about racing took over as Racing Minister from the well-meaning niece of Tony and Gerry Bellino, who knew absolutely nothing about racing […]
Egyptian Lass broke through the barriers at Jundah on the 3rd of October and was late scratched.
