Murders aren’t confined to the dance floor. They happen on race tracks too. Lucy Fiore proved that today in the first race at Kalgoorlie. It was a four horse race. Fiore was on the 10/9 ($2.10) favorite Twist Of Gold. She rode it like it was the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, popping it into the spot […]

An import having its first WA start for trainer Michael Young started $2.00 favorite in race 2 at Gloucester Park last night. Why that’s remarkable is that the horse – name Our Thunder – was a rating 30 walker with form of 79 starts for just 2 wins – the most recent of them 63 […]
You can get into the Windsor Enclosure at Royal Ascot for fifty bucks. Peter V’Landys charges $50 to get into the public area for The Everest too. It’s a bit more expensive to go to Flemington for the Melbourne Cup. The cheapest tickets are $90.75 None of these major race day event ticket prices has […]
Remember the short clip we showed you the other day of WA reinsman Ryan Bell reverse head butting the horse behind him, and startling or hurting it so much that it galloped? Here it is if again if you need a reminder. Bell is on the horse in front on the inside in the red […]
