Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
I don’t know where Jason Bonnington has been for the past 2 months, but gee we are glad he is back because we were worried about the kid. Bonno is clearly okay though, back in full throttle with nothing changed. No-one knew what what the hell he was on about before he went for a […]
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.

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.

And again – “Every single accident that has happened in racing …. has happened without a radio, and with a whip.
