Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Good Afternoon Archie, In your story on the weekend you called the last race at Port Pirie the sussest race of the year. I would argue that the Boat race of the year was in the 6th at Albany on Friday night as you highlighted in your story. Note how many stewards in attendance? Just […]
WA trot trainer Michael Young has recorded a winning strike rate of 19% for the past two seasons. Then Santa came and left the gift of magic under Young’s Xmas tree. Now he is training winners at 41%. Young has won 15 races from his past 25 starters. That’s Jason ‘the GOAT’ Grimson like. I […]

Unless we are all seeing things, the WA Stewards got this wrong. Our Sandy Shore (drawn 1 on the front row) didn’t gallop as the start was effected in the Mares Classic on Friday night. She galloped about 10 to 20 meters before the gates released. Given that horse drawn on the inside of the […]
William Pike is riding the favorite Processio. It is the horse in the yellow buried three back the fence. Pike put it there early in the race. How hard does the King of the sneak split try to get it 0ut. You be the judge. I backed it so I’d only be talking through my […]

The conditions, imposed for a 12 month period […]
Luvachat, murdered by Roy Rogers for no good reason at all The advertisement that you see below appeared on the website rehomearacehorse.com.au in November last year. Luvachat is the racehorse concerned. As you can see Luvachat is described as being a horse with a beautiful nature and kind disposition. He is also describe as having […]
Roy Rogers, a handy man on the trigger who kills innocent horses without remorse These are the four young horses that WA trainer Roy Rogers killed by shooting them in the head. None of the deaths were justified. These horses weren’t sick or injured. None of them had a current racing embargo in place. They […]
