Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
There was a horse in the 5th race at Menangle yesterday that was backed from $2.60 into $1.30. Thee Old Bomb was it’s name. It sort of was a an old bomb too. This horse was a former Kiwi who been battling away down in the Riverina prior to yesterday. He’d never won a race […]
See that? The moment that a person licensed under these rules, an official of the club conducting the meeting, an owner of a horse competing in the race, or such owner’s authorised agent becomes aware that a horse in ineligible to compete in a race, they must lodge an objection with the Stewards about the […]
It’s a bit of an issue this one isn’t it? One that places people who had nothing to do with Grimson’s violent, cowardly outburst in somewhat of an invidious position. I guess we all have choices to make in this life. All I hope is that everyone makes the right ones.

We wrote recently about how Peter ‘The Plodder’ Chadwick hadn’t posted a Stewards Report for a trot meeting he was in charge of a week after it had been run and won. Well here is another one. There was a metro meeting held two Saturday nights ago at Melton. It is our understanding that the […]
There are some funny rumours floating around about the propriety of the ownership of the John Singleton slot in the Eureka. I cannot vouch for this, other than to say that the two unconnected people who told me about it can. They say that there is a silent 2/3rd’s share holder in the slot. The […]
What you see at the top is what driver David Moran told the world before the race about his firm driving tactics on Captain Hammerhead in the Singo at Menangle last Saturday night . Moran backed up his statement just 90 seconds before the race when he told the on-track presenter the same thing. These […]
Stewards inquired into an incident which occurred on entrance to the home straight in the run to the finish where it was established Cosmic Flyer and Attachment were checked to varying degrees.
