Immediately after the Fremantle Cup on Friday night I blew up about Aldo Cortopassi’s drive on Magnificent Storm, and called him an idiot and a fool. Well it seems I owe Aldo an apology, for the word from the west is that it wasn’t his idea to go forward as he did, it was the […]
This is race 3 at Ballarat last night. The judge declared it a dead heat? What the hell? How is not a margin for the inside horse? Angles can be so deceiving. This above is our approximation on the winning line at Ballarat. I still can’t see how the outside horse could have dead-heated. The […]
Last week in the Shepparton Cup, Jack Callaghan gave us a masterpiece of big race driving. Tonight in the Ballarat Cup he presented us with the Mona Lisa. What a drive. What a driver.

Colin ‘Captain/Coach’ McDowell might be just a touch over 40, but he is as fit as a Mallee Bull and like a good bottle of Grange Hermitage, he’d just got better with age. Only his phalanx of super capable PA’s know how Allied Express keeps delivering the parcels on time when the boss is always […]
Hot off the press this afternoon is news that Nathan Jack has won his license back. Quite peculiarly, given that he is one of the nation’s most skilled drivers, a condition has been placed on his new license that Jack has to drive in 15 trials prior to him starting driving in races again.
