Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Bo-Bo Bodine, the greatest trainer we have ever seen, landed yet another winner at Cluden Park, Cairns yesterday afternoon. I refer of course to Bodine Bailey, the young man with the Nick Walsh style strike rate and a penchant for boasting when drunk at parties about how he cheats. And let’s not forget of course […]

Take the third race at Warwick Farm today, the Maiden Plate over 1400m. There are 9 runners in the race. Chris Waller trains 7 of them. Waller’s […]
I want to have a closer look at this CHEERSTOLOU horse, because what it has done since it joined the Donny Smith stable is absolutely insane.

I have had cause lately to take a close look at young Cairns trainer “BoBo” Bodine Bailey lately, not because I find the early 23 0r 24 year-old horseman’s off track friendship with the 41-year-old jockey Lacey Morrison fascinating, for I don’t.
