Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
We told you in a story published on this site that there would be further twists and turns in the Emma Stewart race day treatment saga, and if the talk on everyone’s lips at the Karaka sale is any indication, the trot world now seems to have caught up with what I was cryptically telling […]
Victorian greyhound trainer Deborah Coleman was at one stage for many years a racing Steward at the dogs in NSW before she jumped the fence to pick up a collar and lead by joining the other side. 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. It wasn’t until around lunchtime today when people with vouchers and fixed odds bets discovered to their absolute horror and amazement their tickets were worth zip. People attempting to cash tickets showed they weren’t a winning ticket, […]
I realize that a lot of dog folk have never been to university or past junior school, and that some through no fault of their own some are illiterate, so let me spell out what this part of the GRV plan means, and if you can’t read it get someone to read it out loud […]
Don’t believe a word of what you’re being told by GRV about it’s plan to make greyhound racing safer my moving all the races to one-turn tracks. It’s all just a smokescreen for the real plan. That secret plan is to force the Sandown and Meadows clubs to sell their tracks and the land they […]
When pressed on the likelihood of McLachlan getting the top job at Racing Victoria, V’landys had nothing but praise. “I think Gill McLachlan will do a brilliant job,” V’landys said. “He is one of the leading sports administrators in the world, so Racing Victoria will be very fortunate if they get him as chairman. “I […]
There have been a lot of knocks on the Racing Victoria Chairman elect Gillon McLachlan, most of them being that he lacks the racing experience to stand up toe to toe with Peter V’Landys in the internecine war between the two veto holding states on the Racing Australia board. So RV have decided to fight […]
The outgoing Chairman of Racing Victoria and his guileless CEO blame all of racing in the State’s problems on a decline in wagering turnover across the industry. It’s bullshit, and a callow cop out. Sure, Victorian racing’s wagering revenue decreased by almost $3o million. But NSW’s went up by around $21 million. That’s a swing […]
