Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The Naked Tipster Dr Georgie Whiting had delivered again. We’re 5 races down and already in front following her mail. She landed the winner of the first race @$4.20. Then she just tipped us Flamin Romans one out @$11.00 (or $12.00 with the boost on Neds). The Doc’s on fire again. And we still have […]
It seems we aren’t the only ones who hold the concerns we expressed in our story yesterday about the appointments to senior roles in the Melbourne Racing Club of people with close links to owner activist and Kanga supporter Jonathon Munz.

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 […]
In June last year GRV Stewards conducted a without notice visit to the kennels of Victorian greyhound trainer Raymond ‘Pretty Boy’ Floyd.
