Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Pakistan Star’s amazing effort had nothing on the win at Toowoomba yesterday Look inside the yellow circle. The horse drawn the inside. Do you see the barrier attendant blocking it’s path out of the gate? It’s a bit dark, so watch the slow-motion replay instead. Look closely. What is the barrier attendant doing? The attendant […]
Is this for real? Was there just only Steward – Mr Kim Daly – officiating at yesterday’s Chinchilla race meeting? Did Mr Daly also perform the duties of the Clerk of the Scales? Why were there two judges and two vets, but only one steward and no clerk? How could Mr Daly possibly run the […]
A month ago we wrote about Jimmy Orman being on fire, and not even our mock has been able to douse the flame, which is a shock because normally we stop trains. Orman has ridden fourteen winners in the twenty-four days since we published the article, including the first and last legs of the treble […]
I was trying to watch my mate Battling Benny’s horse run in the first at Thangool today on the six-figure RQ live stream provided by On The Bit. I dunno how Battling’s horse went. But gee that bloke had a nice hat.
The Julie Douglas camp is as dodgy as a trot camp comes. She’s the trainer on paper, but her husband Glenn is really in charge of the reins. Glenn relinquished his ticket because he and stable employee Ellen Tormey were fighting a DQ for drenching in the courts, so as is the time honoured custom […]
Sundees Sun has just won the Group 1 NZ National Trot. That’s no shock. The time is. This superstar square gaiter has just trotted 2700m in 3.16.3. That is exactly 4 seconds faster than he ran to win this race last year. He’s smashed the national record into tiny little pieces, broken it by an […]
Rickie Alchin – Sydney’s number 5 trainer – took four horses to Tamworth on Thursday night. All of them had metropolitan or provincial grade 1 race or trial form. They each started fave or near the top of the betting market. Every single one of the four went like busted arses, so bad that it […]
Remember Eve is an eight-year-old mare. She is also a cat. Her race record prior to yesterday read 55 starts, all at NSW country meetings, for zero wins. At her past ten starts the mare had started at an average price of $87.70 a race. Three weeks ago – ding, ding – Remember Eve changed […]
A crupper is a simple but essential piece of harness racing gear that prevents the saddle from slipping forward and keeps all the rest of the gear in place. They cost seventy bucks to buy. Trainer Charlie Chiang sent his pacer Barboo around at Redcliffe on Wednesday in one that was of such poor standard […]
So if the NSW Government doesn’t cough up the $800 million that it promised for the upgrade of Accor Stadium (formerly Stadium Australia), and now wants to renege on because the COVID-19 bill for vaccines that didn’t work is so big, then St Peter of V’landys is going to turn the NRL Grand Final into […]
