Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
A few weeks ago the NZ Oaks looked a foregone conclusion, with the super smart filly Prowess winning it. Trainer Roger James thought his girl was so good that he put her in the Derby too, and the odds makers made her a close 2nd favorite to the champion Sharp N Smart. Then five days […]
Ha ha ha, ho ho ho; Archie’s tips, are the go. I’ve been Ravished by experts, doused with Spirits by sanity challenged chicos, Honolua’d by halfwits, and a whole lot more this week. Two to the Valley to them all. I caught a wave. They all drowned. Oh well. There’s a new mug born every […]
A pretty girl asked me for my Menangle trot tips tonight. So I gave them to her. Sorry that I got so busy that I forgot to give them to you. There are 3 more races to go. Here are our results so far. Actually, look them up yourself. Note the trifecta in race 6. […]
Warriors v Newcastle The Warriors couldn’t get a home ground advantage they were able to exploit at Mt Smart, so they certainly won’t have one in Wellington, or at Marton or Motueka or Masterton or Mars or the Moon. The Knights are a pretty ordinary side, but you’d need to be Redcliffe to get beaten […]
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 […]
