Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Victorian racing identity Jonathon Munz got a bit of his own this morning when the coup he led against the Racing Victoria board fell flat on its face, with the man who sacked Craig Williams from Giga Kick’s team winning only 3 votes out of 35, leaving them well short of the 24 votes required […]
A forensic hunt is on for the $100 million missing from a Ponzi scheme that ripped off bikies, bookmakers and AFL heavyweights. Accountants have been called in to trace the money lost in the scam dubbed worse than the Melissa Caddick con. The stratospheric losses were discovered when AFL powerbroker and Melbourne lawyer John Adams […]
The champion trotter Just Believe’s lustre was ever so slightly dulled by his defeat by the French import Callmethebreeze last time out in the final of the Southern Star series, and some people – including those of my acquaintance – began to believe that the frog might just have the wood on him.

It seems that the ex-stipe hasn’t quite realised that she’s no longer in charge of meetings any more, […]
Terang trainer Paddy Lee had a night out at home on Saturday night, with his trio of runners scooping the pool in his home town Trotting Cup by finishing 1-2 and 3 to fill the trifecta and provide a real thrill for young Lee and his family including cousins the Cravens, who together form the […]
It’s not quite unanimous – Brad Davison is sticking up for the jock – but Willo’s ride on Jimmysstar at headquarters yesterday was absolutely ridiculous, a total misjudgment of the horse, its opposition, the pace and the race. Williams should never have been leading on Jimmysstar. I don’t care which way you cut and spin […]
Vic TAB a Disgrace Last night around 9.30pm the tab crashed. No reason given just machines went down.
