Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Horses are never the same after leaving Jason Grimson, we’ve seen it time and time again. I Cast No Shadow and Boncel Benjamin are the most famous examples. Inter Dominion heroes one day, buggered the next. We can now add Frankie Ferocious and Hot And Treacherous to the list of post-Grimson tragedies. The pair were […]
The most intriguing race of the night is the 3rd at Redcliffe, where the former Jason Grimson trained one-time stars Hot and Treacherous and Frankie Ferocious take on three time Inter Dominion finalist Petes Said So, 1.52.2 Menangle winner Scared Stiff, and the conqueror of Don Hugo 12 months ago Deux Ex. It’s a standing […]
Have a look at the run down the home straight at Menangle on Saturday night and keep your eyes on the horse behind the leader and the one behind that. There was a protest lodged 3rd v 2nd. I thought watching the race that it should have been upheld. HRV Stewards disagreed. They decided that […]
Remember the short clip we showed you the other day of WA reinsman Ryan Bell reverse head butting the horse behind him, and startling or hurting it so much that it galloped? Here it is if again if you need a reminder. Bell is on the horse in front on the inside in the red […]
It was a very Turnbull affair in the 5th race at Bathurst last night, with linear descendants of the legendary A.D. Turnbull turning out every one of the runners in the race. A.D.’s son Steve, an Inter-Dominion winner with Smooth Satin, trained four runners. Steve’s eldest son Nathan trained four too. Nathan’s younger brother Mitch […]
The Hayden is the best value slot race in the world. There is no fixed price for slots. You buy them at auction, and when you do you get your barrier too. Gate 1 is reserved for a 3-year-old filly, colt or gelding. Gates 2 and 3 are f0r 3yo colts and geldings. Gate 4 […]
We have recently highlighted a number of curious (to say the least) drives by leading QLD reinsman Peter McMullen, and here in race 6 at Albion Park yesterday is another one. McMullen is driving the Kiwi import La Miki, who is having its first start in Australia and has blown in the betting from $2.40 […]
Watch the driver of the leader in the inside Ryan Bell. See what he does to the horse behind him. Whack! Take that son! I suspect Mr Bell may be going for an unplanned holiday in the morning. Head butting horses just isn’t on.
They were unable to determine how the product entered the horse’s system. However, Meloxicam could be administered orally. BESIDE ME might have been an unfortunate and vulnerable target. She was a first-starter in a maiden race, paying $1.50 on the tote, by a leading sire in DOWNBYTHESEASIDE and out of a $1.4 million stakes-winning mare […]
Dr Andrew Grierson (pictured) is the HRNZ Chief Veterinarian. How he can possibly hold that role given the demonstrable conflict with his personal business interests is a question that needs to be answered, both by HRNZ and by the Racing Integrity Board, which role it is to maintain and uphold the integrity of the sport.
