Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
These are the top ten trainers on the Australian Premiership ladder by Strike Rate. Four of them – Currie, Gollan, O’Dea/Hoysted, Moods – are Queenslanders, and Peter Moody is the only one that doesn’t train in the State. That’s quite remarkable. I am not sure if I have ever seen it before. Here are the […]

Einasleigh Ellie chimes in with a first hand report on our reported D. Reynolds knockout. It is a bit different to the one that we heard. But Ellie has eyes, and is usually pretty accurate. Assuming that she is right – and even though there are two sides to every story, it’s a fair bet […]
As most racing folk know, trainer Desleigh Forster was recently disqualified for using a stock whip to force one of her horses that she was training into the water walker at Eagle Farm.

I know he pulled up lame, but you have to ask yourself the question. Did Ciaron Maher put Gold Trip in the race to hook the weights for his stablemate Explosive Jack? It is hard to escape the conclusion when you look at the facts. Explosive Jack was a triple Derby winner in the 2021 […]
During an interview with Racenet this week James Cummings was asked where Anamoe fits among the topliners that he had trained. “I guess I haven’t had a chance to weigh those things up yet,” Cummings said. “But I don’t enjoy comparing horses as I only have one Anamoe, I only had one Bivouac.” Bivouac?

There are some awful whispers coming out of the western districts about the predicament of the 6YO pacing mare Ellen Shannon. We are hearing that the mare went sore after her most recent 22m fourth at Bathurst six weeks ago, which followed on from her horrible 51.3 metre beating at the same track 16 days […]
