Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The case of NSW harness racing trainer Michael Osborn is an unusual one. Osborn’s horse Reasonably Sweet threw a positive swab after win at Tamworth to, of all things, nicotine. Now I have never heard of a horse being doped with nicotine before, and to give one it in the volume required to improve performance […]
Archie I think you are barking up the wrong tree about Dr Alan McGregor. I dealt with him for a period of 20 years, prior to accepting that my inability to comprehend the basics of chemistry whilst at university and my concern for my horses welfare left me no choice but to hand in my […]
Until a month ago the fastest time that Still Rollin had ever run a mile in was 1.52.0. Then he went to Jason Grimson. And on Saturday night he went 1.49.7. The fastest Grant Dixon could get Demon Blue to go was 1.51.9, which was in defeat. It won in 1.51.7 on the weekend, doing […]
Wow, has it really been 30 years? It seems like yesterday. You know I love you. I always will. Happy anniversary baby. May there be many more. xxxx.
Shes a Warrawee is a pretty good horse who has won 7 of its 20 starts. But is she really as good as she looked in this win at Albion Park last night? Menangle is a 1.8 second faster track than Albion Park, the track records prove that. Shes a Warrawee had never run faster […]

When is the last time you saw a trotter run the fastest last quarter mile of the night by 1.1 seconds, on a program featuring a Group 2 over 1720m? How about never? Until last night when Keayang Zahara did it running home in 26.9 seconds, the sort of times that square gaiters never go. […]
Story by Aaron Kelly, ABC Angela Jones can still remember being bucked off her pony onto a prickle bush as a kid on the family farm. Then there’s her first horse that her father, Jason, bought for a carton of beer. Not to mention taking an equine companion along with her to boarding school in […]
It’s weird sitting on the deck having lunch and looking down and seeing this. His name is Crispy apparently. Somehow I doubt that he is as friendly as the name suggests. It’s a bit like being at the races when you think about it. Crocodiles everywhere. The only thing missing is the sharks.
The Naked Tipster has been hitting the gym hard this week in preparation for finding us a truckload of winners at Flemington tomorrow. Dr Whiting is caught in the bushfire zone up near Euroa and like many in the region has had to evacuate her home. She asks us all to say a prayer for […]
