Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The Stonewall Stud owned/Telfer trained 2YO filly Sweet Maggie May broke her leg in race 4 at Addington last night, or to be precise she fractured her left hind pastern, which is much the same deal. Reports from the track are that the connections wouldn’t allow the on-course vet to inspect the filly, insisting that […]
GENERAL Reinsperson Ken Rogers stood down under R250(3) pending the analysis of the saliva sample taken after his initial saliva test was reported as non-negative.

26 April 2024 , Punters Info By Michael Guerin Barry Purdon has been training great horses long enough to know tonight’s $110,000 Dawson Harford Taylor Mile could look very good, or very bad, for Merlin after just 200m.

Good day Archie Ted from tooleybuc chiming in again After reading your stories lately and reading in Peter Wharton’s column yesterday what highly respected industry leader John Coffey said regarding amongst other problems facing the sport, but namely integrity issues not being addressed in Victoria and NSW, it’s my view that these probles aren’t confined […]
