Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Remember bookmaker Hadyn Flynn (pictured at top at his grandson’s birthday party, in middle with green shirt, and below in his satchel swinging days)? Whoever said that diet, a spartan exercise regime, and being an early Ozempic adopter doesn’t work? The mail is that jockey Amanda Thomson went on a weekend bender in Mt Isa […]
The imported steeplechaser Stern Idol is one of the biggest horses in training, standing at a massive more than 17 hands tall and weighing in at around 550 kilos. This French giant has been the dominant jumper in Australia since he arrived at Maher stable door around 2 years ago, and is the warm favorite […]
Craig Rail wins the great tip off by a short half head. We both got the same winner – Captain Hammerhead – and both missed the early and late quaddies. Mr Rail however managed to tip his best roughie into second place, and yours truly missed. It’s a pyrrhic sort of victory, but a win […]
I was about to write an article bagging HRA’s Punters Corner, which is a well hidden form and tips section that is well hidden on it’s website; and in particular I was going to bag Craig Rail’s tips, which delivered one winner from three at the superb price of $1.49, and two losing quaddies where […]

Then this gear is the bomb. 8 bucks it costs, and it’s worth every cent. I have never tasted a better supermarket sauce in my life. Heat it up in a pan, and then just before you serve it with your favorite fresh pasta from the fridge at Coles – I favor this one below, […]
We wrote about Just As Sharp’s incredible performance in the 3YO Karaka Millions shortly after it happened, and advised you to make sure that you blackbook it and load up next start. The Best Run of the Weekend Bar None – Melbourne Merv’s Been Kissed By a Fairy Again – Don’t You Worry About That […]
Just when about the whole WA harness industry is coming out of the woodwork and pronouncing trots in the state dead, Gloucester Park pops up with a ten race card tonight with all but one of them having full fields. This is the type of thing that the sport in west needs. Big cards with […]
Does anyone remember this dickhead pictured above Simon Blackburn? He’s the Melbourne tradie tosser who got kicked off the TV show Married At First Sight (MAFS) after making a bunch of racist, sexist, homophobic rants on Tik Tok and other social media, the sort of bloke that you wouldn’t pay two cents for, or for […]
