Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Gee aren’t Racing Victoria’s integrity systems good. Not. RV obviously didn’t even run standard background checks on their new Chief Vet before making an international announcement about his appointment, in the process making themselves a global laughing stock after it was quickly revealed that the bloke they had appointed to replace Grace Forbes, who had […]
After having to endure the agony of Saturday racing at Bendigo last week and then being bogged down on the usual sodden, god forsaken track at the ‘Bool during the week, it’s a pleasure to return to city racing this Saturday. Despite the adversity she faced by having to get her tips in to the […]
Black Caviar was the first – and only – horse to ever break 10 seconds for a 200m (1 furlong split). She ran 9.98 seconds, which is the equivalent of breaking 2.00 minutes for the 42km of the marathon, a feat that has just been achieved. Not even Ka Ying Rising has run faster. No […]
Victorian trot driver Aaron Dunn is a cowboy. Last month in the Mildura Cup he cut his horse Forty Love across from the deep on the first turn and all but wiped out half the field.

So V’landys as usual leads the charge, and puts up $3 million to help NSW racing participants ride out the knock on effects of D. Trump’s war that isn’t. Racing Victoria do what is always does and falls in behind. Well sort of, but not really, because it’s been badly managed for years and doesn’t […]
I have known plenty of blokes in my time who have gone to a massage parlor after a win at the races. But I have never known one who went to the track to get a massage. Until now. The VRC seem to have extended the idea of a day at the races to include […]
One guess what the good Dr Whiting’s special this week is? If you said My Gladiola then a gold star to you. The Doc got 5 last week. This week she is aiming for 7. I’m backing her.
Lorenzo Carbone is a registered Victorian greyhound trainer and owner, who has most of the dogs he owns trained by others. He is also a man who is active on Betfair. During the year 2021 Carbone had seven of his dogs race for one or more of these other trainers. Most if not all of […]
