Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The leaders of the Victorian Greyhound Breeders Owners and Trainers Association (GBOTA) are at odds over the public statement made this week by the association’s President Craig Treherne calling on trainers to boycott racing on Monday as a show of support and solidarity for its member John Boreland. Last year Boreland was disqualified for 2 […]
It is morally reprehensible and completely unacceptable for greyhounds to be euthanised unnecessarily. Such an act destroys all public confidence in the greyhound racing industry. It is common knowledge that participants in the past have been caught deliberately euthanising their greyhounds once the dogs finished their active racing career. This practice must be stopped, or […]
The Victorian Racing Tribunal had warned greyhound trainer Gary Febey off for 6 years, and all we can say is good, because he totally deserves it. Febey had been called to a Stewards Inquiry into the death of an unnamed greyhound that he trained. He didn’t cooperate with the Stewards, and was charged with various […]
The case of owner Justin Strout’s appeal against a decision of the Victorian Stewards to subject his horse Imminance to the balloting conditions for the final of the $150 000 Grand Handicap Series Final at Champions Day is an interesting one, in more ways that one.

What the hell were Victorian Police doing putting handcuffs on former CFMEU Secretary John Setka after they arrested him yesterday and led him away in front of the cameras that just so conveniently happened to be there. It all seemed like quite the set up to me. Setka is 61 years old. He has dealt […]
* Metaphorically speaking of course, not literally. We are opposed to violence, other than of the controlled and regulated type in a boxing ring or in home or country’s defense from an invasion. Other than that we are peace man, and used the bullet as a metaphor for a rule breach offence charge. The Stewards […]
Australia’s favorite naked tipster has a rest after a long night studying the form for MooneyValley Dr Whiting is confident that we can start the day at the Valley tomorrow with a winner in her special Beast Mode. For those of us who follow the Doc’s selections let’s hope she is right. Bridal Waltz in […]
Today’s meeting at Kyneton has been abandoned due to the state of the track after just one race. Which is bizarre given that they were racing on a Good 3 track and there was no storm or other unexpected weather event. It was a surprise to see the horses throwing up such big clods of […]
