Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
A tip – Ben Currie is a far wiser man than he was six months ago. And he will be back. Last week I wrote a story talking Maddy Sears up, a bit of a Star Wars Episode IV – A New Hope sort of affair. This is it right here. In the doing of […]
Any old mug can buy a Derby placegetter from New Zealand for six figures, switch it from Marmite to Vegemite, serve its Milo’s cold, give it a bit of brilliant Aussie sunshine and some freshly treated water from the pristine Nepean river, then win a slew of Grand Circuit races like trainer Kevin ‘Big Kev’ […]

The Rosehill Track Not again. Yeah, again. What the hell was that track at Rosehill yesterday? Crap, that’s what. How hard is it to produce a course proper that plays fair?

When is reality ever going to sink in? The shortage of riders – or surfeit of meetings, take your […]
Who aid That the Chinese Ever Stopped Sailing Junkets? Eliza Park/Sun Stud are in the eye of the needle after allegations were aired on 60 Minutes last Sunday night about the stud’s owners alleged links to money laundering for Asian criminal syndicates. Our spies tell us that the Federal and State authorities are presently taking […]
Premier Palaszczuk announced that Queensland was going to beat the Coronavirus by inviting Chinese people living in Queensland to attend sittings of Parliament (intense boredom is apparently a cure); ignoring their relatives back home by redirecting the State’s tourism marketing focus to non-infected folk in Japan, Singapore and the US; paying little Bobby Irwin a […]
Look at the race above, and in particular look at the ratings of each runner under the NR (New Ratings) system, and the starting marks that the Queensland handicapper has given them. It appears nonsensical doesn’t it? A horse rated NR 40 like Soho Twisted giving 20 meters start to one line First Offence, which […]
