Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Emma Stewart and Clayton Tonkin have half the field in the Miracle Mile on Saturday night. They have the fave, and the 4th, 5th, and 6th horses in the betting. But none of them can win. Why not? Because of one little thing called the retention barn. The retention barn is a supervised facility that […]
Tim bloody McGuigan. A while back I was shooting blanks at him. Last night the bugger got me for a grand. Or two. Oh well. 10% is fair for a sling I suppose. I reckon Darcy the driver deserved it more though. Timmy reckons he owed it to Mum in board. Personally I think young […]
It is cheap at $20 a month when you think about it, isn’t it? How much is a $2 avocado smashed on toast these days? Bloody hell. I’d rather spend mine on a subscription.
A lot of people who don’t like the challenge that we throw down to the harness racing establishment reckon we are mugs who wouldn’t know Edgar Britt from Doris Day when it comes to the trots. Of course these experts are right. That’s why we live in Port Douglas and sleep in until we want […]
Hey look, the bras have matching diamond infused sunnies. Wonder who paid for them? They tell me that the Tommy Berry and The Butcher appeals are on for the 1st of March. I also hear that there may be more surprises to come, although neither the punter, the jockey or the authorities know it yet. […]
This is retiring Racing QLD CEO Brendan ‘Pins’ Parnell at the very start of his career. Oh how young we all were. Pins tips weren’t much good. Shaftesbury Avenue got beaten into 5th. Noel’s Gamble ran 8th. Shustar ran 9th. I can’t help you with the Caloundra result. Pins tip in Sydney raced in the […]

MENANGLE Race 5 no 8 – Spirit of St Louis Went into the ID22 series as favorite but was terrible. He’s back home at Cobbitty Farm now, and that will make all the difference. LAUNCESTON Race 6 no 13 – Like a Wildfire We’ve written a lot about Hes Ideal this week, and I have […]
SHEPPARTON Race 2 no 4 – Bettor Robyn This is a weird race, and one I probably shouldn’t come into, but $14.00 about Bettor Robyn is such a ridculously over the odds price that’s it’s worth throwing something on. Race 3 no 4 – Moreton Bay The form guide says this trotter is trained by […]
BENDIGO Race 5 no 8 – Ollivici The inside of the 2nd row draw makes it tough, but the rising start of the Victorian trotting ranks is good enough to overcome it. The ideal scenario is that I’m Ready Jet holds and he lands on the leaders back, but if he ends up 3 fence […]
