Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
I don’t know what the hell is going on at the TAB, but the markets they put up for Bathurst tonight were ridiculous. Emma Stewart brought three fillies up from Victoria to contest the heats of the Gold Tiara. Being trained by the most successful 2YO stable in Australia, the trio were certain to start […]
Was David Moran actually trying on Tedesco in this race at Shepparton on Tuesday night? It didn’t look like it, that’s for sure. Tedesco is the horse with the gun run behind the leader. It has blown like a gale in the betting, out from $1.95 to $4.40. We soon see why. The sprint lane […]
This race at the Swan Hill harness meeting last night was redolent of the Tasmanian trots before the the equity in participation policy was introduced to stop Ben Yole from turning out every runner in all the lower class events on the cards.

As strange as the news that HRV is looking to move the trots back to Moonee Valley sounds, I am assured by well-place insiders that its true. Call me a cynic if you will, but I still have extreme doubts that it will happen. For a start the Moonee Valley Racing Club have been planning […]

Don’t you just love the way the Victorian stewards are hearing evidence in the Jamie Kah running and handling inquiry? They talk to Kah. The premiership winning 14 time Group 1 winner and one time no 1 female jockey in the world says variously that she’s had an off day, that the horse is difficult […]
Hey mate Just thought I would share, Always B Miki and Art Major sired Kiwis are always eligible for Vicbred status on arrival to Australia with a late fee to HRV to sustain. This is because Alabar were the stud responsible for the sires at the time and still are, and both carry Vicbred status […]
Mark Zahra might have had a good handle on the pace, if he was actually riding in the race. He wasn’t. Blake Shinn was on the leader. Terry Bailey once again gets the basics wrong. The Saint’s on fire. It’s time to retire.
David ‘Layoff’ McLauchlan is the Melbourne rails bookie who did a stack betting against the credit punter David Ng and then unsuccessfully taking him to court trying to get Ng to pay his tick.
