Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
This is a story about a poorly bred 2yo pacer named Oh Its On. It sure is, and it’s red hot. Oh Its On has three starts for NSW trainer Michael Hardy. It runs 6th, 3rd and 4th, at Bathurst, Bathurst and Young. The fastest time it runs in any of them is 1.56.1 when […]
Check out the last race at Albion. Grimson is a bigger f**king miracle worker than Jesus. Started at $18 last run at Young going 1.58.0. Not 3 f**king weeks later and the c**t starts at $1.30 going 1.51.9 at Albion Park. How can they not stop this bloke, honestly. Everyone know its not right, all […]
Luke Duggan, a Toowoomba based businessman and representative football coach who holds a Bachelor of Business/Commerce degree, has lost his appeal a suspension imposed by QRIC Stewards ahead of the hearing of a charge of following to fail a Stewards direction to hand over his phone. The direction had been issued during a wide ranging […]
Last week after its track and Australian record breaking win at Fannie Bay we were told that after the weekend’s Palmerston Sprint the connections of the flying dirt track galloper Balastier would be seeking an invitation to Dubai to take on the world’s best on the dirt in one of the desert nation’s ultra-rich races.

Two weeks ago the Jason Grimson trained Maxo Mighty ran 2nd in the Group 1 QLD Derby at just its 6th start since joining the stable two months ago. Today its racing status is listed as None Recorded. That’s because the 3yo is brown bread. Dead. We don’t know why, or what its cause of […]
The case of trot trainer Adam Kelly and the meth positives was a most unusual one indeed. Two of Kelly’s horses threw positive swabs to methamphetamine – P, ice, crack, crank – in the space of 10 days, one of them – Showmethetanlines – after winning a listed race at Menangle. In the Hanging State […]
Starvecchio in the pink colors was backed from $3.10 into $1.90 to win race 2 at the Sunshine Coast yesterday. It lost, after racing extremely ungenerously and pulling its head off. The Stewards have launched an inquiry into the ride, the tactics and the run. I for one am not quite sure why. The horse […]
23 acceptors were scratched from Saturday’s Julia Creek meeting because there was no jockey there to ride them. There were only 51 runners set to be on the card. Which means that almost half of them were scratched. That’s ridiculous of an in itself. But here is the real crazy bit. The Stewards allowed Tanya […]
Tom Ison may not have driven to get his other horse up in race 2 at Tamworth yesterday, but he certainly did drive to get the first two in the betting market beaten, including the favorite, his own. Ison drives the 4 Nashville Bart. It is $2.15. Jemma Coney is on the 1 Ceejay Haich. […]
There has been a lot of conjecture about Ben Currie’s place in racing in recent months and weeks. There always is. Is Currie a villain who is somehow training by remote control in clear and present sight? Is he just a husband and father working within the rules to provide for his wife and kids? […]
