Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
There were three Group 1 pacing races on the card at Melton last night Emma Stewart won them all. In fact she didn’t just win, she dominated. Stewart had 5 runners in the blue riband Vic Derby worth a total of $200 000. The stable picked up $162 ooo of it after her runners finished […]
We have received advice that out story overnight regarding The Locomotive was incorrect, and that the horse has not in fact thrown a positive swab. In reliance on this information, which is clearly different from that received yesterday, we have removed the story from the website and wish to state unequivocally that is was incorrect. […]
What a disgrace the weak-gutted Victorian Racing Club truly are. Fancy being so spooked by the small fringe group of loony anti-racing activists that they would deny racing fans and potential fans, not to mention all the prospective fans out there, the opportunity to go into the city and celebrate the Spring Carnival by cancelling […]

You wouldn’t have wanted to be a hungry punter at Mornington today. The kitchen closed just 90 minutes after the first. This was of course after early birds waited until half an hour before the first, meaning that there was hot food on for a grand total of 2 hours. It’s just not on. Most […]

The Lost Storm and Catch a Wave were the 2 biggest names on the card at Melton last night, the former in a heat of the Vic Derby, the latter in the prestigious Group 3 Smoken Up. Jason Bonnington tipped them b0th as good things, and he wasn’t alone, with many tipping them as across […]
Two months ago the high class race race mare Carlas Pixel was sold on-line at the Gavelhouse auction for $300 grand. One of the big hooks for the buyer was that the mare was said to be in foal to Captain Treacherous. Just 2 months earlier a yearling colt by the Captain out of the […]
How was it that the Stewards report for the semi-finals of the rich Sires Stakes series run at Melton last Saturday week were not published, and still never have been? What on earth is going on down in Victoria under the leadership of the hopelessly slack Chief Steward Peter Chadwick? Surely publishing Official Stewards Reports […]
It’s a cracker of a meeting at Melton this weekend with the semi-finals of the Breeders Crown series at various ages and sexes filling the massive 12 race card. Emma Stewart dominates the entries with 36 horses nominated across 11 of the semis, and she can be expected to win a minimum of 5 of […]
