Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Perhaps inspired by the brilliance of Keith from QLD, reader Barry from the back of Bourke has decided to chime into the ‘let’s get a free ride on Archie’s back to kickstart our campaign to knock him off as Australia’s greatest trot tipster and writer’ by sending in his thoughts and selections for the Miracle […]
Despite getting a tirade of abuse for helping a guy out with some intelligent insight. This in the hope of giving his column some credibility from someone who is legally sane.

It’s been a long time since we met Nessie, aka the Loch Ness Monster. And an even longer time since she was spotted in the Loch. Peter ‘Pete the Plodder’ Chadwick is the Loch Ness Monster of Victorian Harness Racing. Plod’s the new Chief Steward, but just like when he was the Chief in QLD, […]

$240 000 – Bettors Delight x Hartofdixie (c) Full brother to Erupt Stride, the colt that Australian construction giant Emilio Rosati paid $320 000 for at the 2021 yearling sale. This one was 3/4 off that huge price, and so he should be given that his older brother has had 9 starts for 5 wins […]
