Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
It’s proponents call it a Stallion Fee, it opponents call it a levy. Same horse, different jockey. Here are the weights. The base charge (or fee) to register a horse with the stud book is $500. Every owner of a sire pays it. Then the Stallion Fee kicks in. Australian domiciled stallions are exempt. All […]
Kowhai is a Maori word meaning yellow, which made it a good name for a pacer like the Kiwi pacer Kowhai Shadow, who until a fortnight ago had won just 2 races from 39 starts, both of them in times you can swim faster than with both legs tied together. Then Kowhai Shadow had 4 […]
Paul Courts from Trot Guide reported that the shameful and extremely distressing armed robbery of the pokie room at Globe Derby a couple of weeks ago netted the machete wielding grub who pulled it off a few thousand dollars. Brazen thief robs Trotting Club I’d like to buy land off Courts, for our mail is […]
This reply is from the ‘shit from clay’ correspondent The story with the picture, off (right) hind hoof. That is the leg he fractured too. Chicken or the egg, did he fracture the cannon bone because he was trying not to land on a still sore inside of his hoof, or did he land on […]

Liam’s not the only Hemsworth going real well right now The Brisbane Broncos had a huge come from behind win against the helpless and hapless Titans last night at Lang Park. It was a magnificent effort by Kevvie’s boys, a win for the ages, but it wasn’t to be the last big hit of the […]
Watch what Dylan Edgerton-Green does on the horse on the leader’s back. You can’t do that. It’s mad, bad and dangerous you know, and a huge violation of the rules. This bloke should not better. Actually, he does. I strongly suspect Dylan Edgerton-Green is about to be sent on an early winter’s holiday. If he […]
It seems we got a rather important bit wrong in our earlier story relaying the mail about the Victorian visit to the central west of Northern NSW during the week.
