Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
We wrote recently about how Peter ‘The Plodder’ Chadwick hadn’t posted a Stewards Report for a trot meeting he was in charge of a week after it had been run and won. Well here is another one. There was a metro meeting held two Saturday nights ago at Melton. It is our understanding that the […]
Racing Victoria’s highly embarrassing backdown on its whip free so called Big Bash style Summer racing series sounds the death knell for Andrew Jones short reign as CEO, and after his “I couldn’t care” comments about what the industry thought about his plans no-one in racing will shed any tears when the arrogant fool goes. […]
“Not a lot goes on in the half hour or hour before a race meeting, so it was as much a practical decision as anything,” MRC Executive Director, Racing and Operations Jake Norton said. “It is an attempt to be more efficient.” The Melbourne Racing Club owns and operates the Caulfield, Sandown and Mornington tracks.

It’s worth the listen. Gareth Hall dead set takes Andrew Jones to town. Hall gives him every chance to explain himself, a sell his bum fuck strategy and his crazed ego driven plans. With a […]
Have you ever seen anyone implode faster than the newish RV CEO Andrew Jones, or make such an absolute twat of themselves? Ah mate, if the jockeys are wired for sound and the horses hooves are beating, how the hell are we supposed to hear the call? You do know that they play the gentle […]
I rate Gareth Hall. He strikes me to be one of us. He’s not afraid of asking the hard questions either. Watch the look on his face and his body language change when Andrew Jones answers his questions. A picture tells a thousand words. Gareth Hall’s speaks for us all. Gareth Hall: "Are you concerned […]
Disabled former jockey Danny Brereton — a multiple Group 1 winner — has lashed Racing Victoria's mic'd up jockey concept as "dangerous, reckless and stupid" STORY BY: @bendorries76 https://t.co/ktcM5y5Luu — Racenet (@RacenetTweets) August 9, 2023
This CEO at Racing Victoria is likely to try to shut down dissent by targeting licensees who criticise or make negative comments about his crazed new plans for the industry. If he does, the way to counter it is simple. Get every jockey and trainer in Victoria and around Australia to tweet or post their […]
And again – “Every single accident that has happened in racing …. has happened without a radio, and with a whip. So not having a radio and having a whip does not prevent accidents." — Bren O'Brien (@streetruffian) August 8, 2023 This is just arrogant , disgusting and totally disrespectful to all jockeys and their […]
Racing Victoria CEO Andrew Jones is a man who clearly doesn’t know when to hold ’em and fold ’em, and definitely doesn’t know when to walk away, and when to run. Jones has had a horrible winter, and has just made it a whole lot worse. Instead of just putting his hand up and saying […]
