Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
We have been telling you about Australia’s ‘leading trainer’ Ben (Chainsaw) Yole and how he treats his horses for a number of years now. Our consistent message has been that if this is harness racing in Tassie, then the sport should be closed down. Other good Australians are now joining the call. Pictures tell a […]
If Trotsynd’s advertisement is correct – and no-one has given us any reason to believe that it is not – then how can Summit Bloodstock be operating legally as a syndicator in Western Australia? Operating they are though, syndicating both race horses and ‘temporary’ shares in Spirit of St Lous, their slot holder for the […]
$300 000 – Captaintreacherous x Goodlookinggirl (f) I have one golden rule when doing the pedigrees for yearling sales, and that is to immediately strike out any youngster by a mare whose only successful offspring were trained by the All Stars combination of N. Rasmussen and M. Purdon. If you can’t work out the reasoning behind […]
$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 […]

Did you see the flucs on race 5 at Cranbourne? You’re a bloody idiot if you didn’t. But hey Cracker, I’m just a mug. So is ‘Honest’ Robert Walters. That lawyer bloke standing in front of you yelling out “Ben Yole and his Henchman are C**ts” wasn’t kidding Honest Rob. You know, the fella shouting […]
Tim bloody McGuigan. A while back I was shooting blanks at him. Last night the bugger got me for a grand. Or two. Oh well. 10% is fair for a sling I suppose. I reckon Darcy the driver deserved it more though. Timmy reckons he owed it to Mum in board. Personally I think young […]
If there is, I haven’t found it yet. Neither has Chelsea, the owner of the winner. What a shame she’s marrying my mate Steve this weekend. And is madly in love with him. Bugger. Oh well, a five figure win softens the blow. What was that about Archie Butterfly being a mug Cracker? How much […]
Why is it that the Queensland Racing Minister can see fit to force the stand down of the Albion Park CEO Scott Steele over him being charged with rape, but she can’t ensure that he stays away from the track? The whole world knows that Steele is at Albion Park for almost every meeting held […]
