What’s Gone On Here?
Trainer Jay Morris seems to be in a bit of trouble. We have been told why, but can’t say. What’s gone on here? Watch this space.
Hope You Took the Tip
As we predicted earlier in the week, Bobo (trainer B0dine Bailey) has scratched his horse that was never ever going to run Seventies Hit from the Cairns meeting on Sunday. Bailey also scratched another one of his acceptors Smart Mission from a race at the meeting too, which is no surprise because best guesses are […]

Grimson Gets Away With One Here

Super Seaton’s Seven Scratched – By Order of the Stewards, We Suspect
All seven of Seaton Grima’s runners at Menangle tonight have been scratched, we suspect by order of the Stewards. An unannounced stable inspection – call it a raid – of Grima’s stables was conducted by the HRNSW integrity crew on Thursday morning. It would seem remarkable if the Stewards visit and the scratching of the […]
WTF?

Licenses trainer in semi-retirement Mark ‘Boof’ Currie has been outed for 6 months after he pleaded guilty to presenting a horse to race at Warwick on Boxing Day last year with Phenylbutazone (Bute) in its system. It seems to me to be quite an outrageously excessive penalty, one handed down on Boof Currie due to […]
It’s Not Whether Serg Wins – But How Fast He Runs to Do It
A new horse makes its debut for the Jason Grimson stable tonight. Serg Blanco is its name. Like most of the Grimson stable it is an older pacer who has been plenty of places before. At its past 4 starts Serg Blanco has: won an NR65 and up at Mildura finished 3rd in a race […]
