Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The word is that senior QRIC Stewards Rion Hitchener and Ben Cooke have abandoned ship. Or maybe they were pushed, who knows? I hope so. Neither of them were much chop at the integrity game. They say that the boys are off to Saudi Arabia. Bugger me. No, FFS don’t. They don’t like that sort […]

The drug, called GABA, which is gamma-aminobutyric acid, was banned by the United States Equestrian Federation in 2012. […]
Watch the race. How could the Stewards not push the red light and call it off after 3 strides? Why on earth did they have to interview all the jockeys to ask them if they were disadvantaged? It was blindingly obvious. These stipes are morons. Every second week they totally stuff things up, except in […]
