Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
What sort of absolute nonsense and rubbish is above is this, and why did the Stewards accept it? Turbo tells them that he was able to successfully keep Darren Binskin on Common Courtesy out 3-wide in the run to the first turn so keep his horse one-off, but reckoned that it quickly became obvious that […]
Just a six months ago Harness Racing New Zealand was forced to slash prizemoney by 10 percent as a result of the code’s freefall in wagering revenue, a loss of interest by punters in the sport. I place the blame for that fairly and squarely on the shoulders of the HRNZ board and management. They […]
The Minns government has abandoned plans for a complete rebuild of Penrith Stadium after discovering the cost of delivering the project had more than tripled. The government will still spend $309 million on refurbishing the Penrith Panthers’ home ground, but a wholesale rebuild on a neighbouring site has been abandoned. Instead, the Herald has confirmed the government […]
To the amazement of everyone except those like me who have been represented by the Magic Man J.E. Murdoch K.C., late last week Jason Jill Grimson got a stay of his 12 month disqualification for king hitting another participant in the Creek Bar after the Blacks a Fake. The stay lasts for a maximum of […]
The so called Aussie Fair Play Coalition pretended to be the voice of Australian gambling. The ‘Coalition’ claimed that foreign owned bookies were shifting a fortune of their profits outside of Australia. “Where are these going? Isle of Man?” the paid actors in their anti-every other bookie ads asked. There were three things that the […]
One is that Captain Ravishing will not run in the Eureka. Two is that one of the 4 current reserves Naturally Gifted will. Three is that Turbo will withdraw his appeal after the Eureka, Let’s see how close I get to the money. Just you wait and see.
For the sake of clarity, the stay granted to Jason Grimson lasts for a maximum of 20 days, which is the period in which the Racing Appeals Panel must hand down a final decision in the matter of Jill’s appeal. Same with Jack Trainor. Interestingly the NSW Stewards have been out doing dope tests on […]
Imagine if Tommy Berry or James McDonald had been outed from the gallops game. You wouldn’t have to would you, for it did happen. The racing media were all over it. Now shift to harness racing, and think about what would happen if the ‘Greatest Trainer of All Time’ – the Goat – had been […]
On the 3rd of February 2022 the then QRIC Integrity Investigation Team made an unannounced visit to the stables of former county music singer turned trot trainer Stephen ‘Bunzie’ Bunce to conduct a stable inspection. Bunz didn’t take being interrupted during his day very kindly, and launched into a tirade of vile abuse and threats […]
This is Captain Ravishing’s trial at Menangle this morning. Owner Hass Taiba told me on the weekend that it was going to crack 1.50. I told Maggie that I was going to run a marathon in under 3 hours too. Both were equally untrue. If the Captain wins the Eureka I will walk backwards to […]
