Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Well sportsfans, I have been bagged all over the Isa this morning for my perceived slag at the great city that represents everything that is good and true about God’s own country, Queensland. I was only being a larrikin and taking the piss, but to clear things up it’s time to be serious, and tell […]
Ben Currie had the Queensland Trainer of the Year award that he had earned denied to him because he was DQ’d. Darren Weir did too. Fair enough many people would say, although not me. Different rules apply at the trots. David Moran is serving 7 months for a raft of different offences, all of them […]
They are not giving much away at the QRIC anymore. Not even the identity of the official who takes the swabs. It is a classified national security matter. Start telling racing people who’s holding the bottle that the horse urinates in, and before you know it every trainer in town will be on the swab […]
There is only one answer to that question. Not unless you have been to Geebung.
Well it didn’t take long for the race loving sheilas of the Isa to tell me to stick my criticisms of their city up my arse. Shaz and Jac reckon Mt Isa is the go. My suspicion is that they’ve school age kids and are stuck, or that their hubby punts his pay before he […]
The picture above that you see of the bottle with the red cap was taken at the Woodend Beach, Christchurch stables of the training partnership of Robert and Jenna Dunn, the part of the operation managed by Dunn’s son John, aka Lurch.

John ‘Lurch’ Dunn, the man in charge of the Woodend Beach end of his family’s Diamond Racing operation, was in Auckland on Friday night driving Sundees Sun, the wonder trotter who broke the national record for 2700m by an unheard of clear 4 seconds (over 50 metres) in the NZ Trot. There only other runner […]
The horse on the outside gunning for the lead is trained by Steve Turnbull’s son Josh, and driven by another of his son’s Nathan. It is the $1.85 favourite. The horse breaks up after a few strides and loses all chance. It finishes second last. The one that wins the race is the second favourite. […]
Well I am buggered if I know why every good jockey in Australia doesn’t move to Mt Isa. After all, you get to ride 5 horse a week and earn a grand, live in the sort of suffocating heat that killed Burke and Wills, eat crap food and drink in pubs with bogans, live out […]
I see this Mark Jones has been training a few winners over in the NZ South Island lately. He’d want to wouldn’t he? After all, he’s got a fair bit of shame to wash off after losing his best horse Stylish Memphis to Turbo Trainor, both in Australia and abroad. It’s a shame that the […]
