Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Read your story about Liam Birchley with interest and agree he was badly done over by a steward who was obviously a complete dictator. Agree Liam was always a master 2yo trainer and winning the Karaka Millions for the 3rd time is a brilliant achievement. One of his best 2YO wins in the last 12 months […]
Liam Birchley is a great trainer, and an even better bloke. He is true Australian too. The wannabe coppers at Racing Victoria back in the day took him without any evidential basis for everything that he had, and kicked him out on his own. Liam was down, but he never bit the dust. Men of […]
Liam Birchley is in my opinion one of the hardest done by blokes in racing, not that he would agree with me, for the trainer’s not the type to get bitter or complain. He has plenty of grounds to though. Birchley’s training career was literally destroyed overnight by Terry Bailey and his ‘Integrity’ Team at […]
Sheila and John Symons, saying I do. Well, John said yes and Sheila said I will, so I guess that’s close enough. It all happened at 2 o’clock this arvo in the little chapel down on water here at Port Douglas, and it was beautiful. I’ve never seen two people happier in my life, neither […]

Shes a Warrawee is a pretty good horse who has won 7 of its 20 starts. But is she really as good as she looked in this win at Albion Park last night? Menangle is a 1.8 second faster track than Albion Park, the track records prove that. Shes a Warrawee had never run faster […]
Two QLD gallops trainers have been disqualified in recent times for using the banned anabaolic steroid Stanozolol to improve their horses performance. So what does Stanozolol actually do, and how does it improve a horse? The answer is it does many things: Increases Protein Synthesis: Stanozolol binds to androgen receptors in cells, which activates specific […]
Cash Manager wasn’t injured at all, it was just very slow dog. It hadn’t won or even run a place for almost a year, and the minimal appearance money it had collected weren’t enough to pay for its feed. So after it ran last twice in row in very slow times, the greyhound’s trainer Rhonda Essery […]
Queensland gallops trainer Louis Peoples has been disqualified for 21 months after one of his runners named Half Listening threw positive swabs to the banned anabolic steroid Stanozolol, the same drug used by Ben Johnson when he broke the world 100m record at the 1988 Olympics, proving that come things might change but drug cheating […]
