Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Before ….. The Christians reckon that the greatest gift of all is the atonement of Jesus Christ. That’s typical happy clapping nonsense spouted by do-gooders who don’t punt. Everyone with half a brain knows that the greatest gift is a gift wrapped couple of bottle of Menangle’s finest. Delivered by a bloke who feels guilty […]
Adam Hamilton wrote a lovely spruik job yesterday about the genius of Jason ‘Jill’ Grimson. He’s the next Stanley Dancer if you believe Adam’s hype, or probably more correctly the next Vin Knight or Tubby Peace. Is there anyone old enough to remember them who doesn’t look back to that decade in the 1980’s and […]
Majestic Cruiser ran 4th of 5 in a claimer at Ballarat on Boxing Day 2020. He had 22 starts after that, and won just one of them, in an NR80-94 at Melton After he ran a poor seventh in another NR80-94 race at Melton on the 26th of June last year against weak opposition, Majestic […]
The Julie Douglas camp is as dodgy as a trot camp comes. She’s the trainer on paper, but her husband Glenn is really in charge of the reins. Glenn relinquished his ticket because he and stable employee Ellen Tormey were fighting a DQ for drenching in the courts, so as is the time honoured custom […]
Rickie Alchin – Sydney’s number 5 trainer – took four horses to Tamworth on Thursday night. All of them had metropolitan or provincial grade 1 race or trial form. They each started fave or near the top of the betting market. Every single one of the four went like busted arses, so bad that it […]
Robert Heathcote should have been a politician, for he can spin a story in his favour almost as well as Warnie used to bowl leggies. The issue isn’t whether or not his horses that were scratched yesterday throw a positive swab to cobalt. That issue is totally irrelevant. Hemoplex is a prohibited substance, banned from […]
Cobalt containing injectable formulations such as Hemoplex® and Hemo-15® are approved for clinical use by veterinary drug regulating authorities in many countries including Australia, Canada and Hong Kong, and several cobalt containing oral supplements such as Avalia-4®, Boost Paste® and Horsepower® are commercially available. The acknowledged use of cobalt containing compounds in medicine or simply […]
The Cobalt precedents for a ‘presentation’ offence within the Queensland racing industry previously incurred a minimum penalty of a twelve (12) month disqualification. Notwithstanding, in some recent matters penalties of a nine (9) month disqualification have been imposed, taking into account the relevant circumstances of individual cases and that of Queensland Civil Administration Tribunal decisions, […]
Rob Heathcote is claiming that he didn’t know Hemoplex was banned. That’s a load of rubbish. EVERYONE in the close knit racing world knows that the cobalt containing solution is banned, so it is inconceivable that Heathcote doesn’t. And be clear that we are not talking false positive cobalt caused by Vitamin B being spun […]
