Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Angus Garrard was handed a 7-day suspension for knocking a rival’s horse arse over tit at Albion Park last night, in breach of the rules. Garrard has 6 engagements to drive at Albion Park tonight, many of them horses well backed in the early betting markets. The punters who backed them did so in reliance […]
Tamworth trainer Dean Chapple has this week been disqualified for 2 years on a charge of presenting one of his horses to race (and win) with the painkiller Meloxicam in it’s system. Click to access 240419%20mr%20dean%20chapple%20inquiry%20conducted.pdf It’s an extraordinarily heavy sentence for a substance breach offence that usually attracts just fines. Look at some of […]
It’s said that Cameron Hart was far from happy with Jack Callaghan after the Nullarbor last night, with the issue bering that Callaghan on Spirit of St Louis wouldn’t hand up the lead to Hot And Treacherous when Cam Hart pressured him to. Well bully for Cam. The winner of the past 4 NSW drivers […]
I will be making an optometrist appointment first thing in the morning, after I pen this apology for questioning Adman Hamilton’s judgement of a race and form. Adman you don’t glasses, I do. You were right and I was wrong, and Andy Gath was spot on. Catch A Wave’s run was slashing last week, I […]

There are only three ways that the million dollar slot race the Nullarbor on Friday night pans out. Scenario 1 Spirit of St Louis kicks up and holds the lead and Jack Callaghan refuses to hand over the front, posting Catch A Wave in the death and putting Hot And Treacherous in the 1-1. Scenario […]
The Sydney Boys one-two again. Spirit Of St Louis leads early, but I’d say needs cover to be in the finish, for he’s older and not going as good, and had always has been just a half a rung short of the top of the ladder, but you’d love to have him in the stable. […]
