Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Once upon a time innocent trainers like Darrel Graham and our man Moods used to get tipped out for long periods of time for throwing positive swabs to cobalt salts. It was a travesty of justice, and it was only through the big man’s outspoken criticism of the stewarding practice and Daz’s determined legal resistance […]
MENANGLE Race 2 Alta Orlando resumes in this from a short a break after running third in ID21. He is a high class pacer who begins quickly and should find the lead despite the wide draw. If he does he will be incredibly hard to beat here. We all expected Krug to be in the […]
Have you read Ben Dorries hastily written personal remembrance of Shane Warne? It’s bloody disgraceful. Dorries is disrespectful to Hookesy, who died in terrible circumstances, and he makes Warnie sound like a wanker too, which he most decidedly wasn’t, and even if he was the man is a legend and he is dead and it’s […]
Last year Ryan Duffy copped a 12 month DQ from the Victoria Racing Tribunal helping his mate milkshake a horse, taking the bolt when the Stewards turned up and caught them in the act, and lying through his teeth about the whole thing. He deserved the DQ too. The RV Stewards thought Duffy deserved more, […]
Today’s meeting scheduled for the Gold Coast has been moved to the dreaded and dreadful poly track at the Sunshine Coast. There are 8 races on the card. And 53 scratchings. That’s what we call a track that trainers want to race on. Others call it a $10 million white elephant.
Comeback jockey Michael Murphy has been given a million chances by just about everybody in racing. After yesterday I have come to the conclusion that he doesn’t deserve any. Murphy was riding the horse in the white colours behind the leader in the 6th at Rockhampton yesterday. A gap opened up between the two horses […]
Earlier in the week we wrote about the outrageous form reversal of the Chris Waller trained Merimee, the horse who went from winning like Winx at a Saturday metro meeting in Brisbane to running second last in a race several grades lower on Wednesday at the Sunshine Coast. As you can see from the fluctuations […]
For IT reasons beyond our control an upgrade to out service providers network has caused a problem with logging in to your account.

Everyone hates betting on Heavy 10 tracks, but it’s Saturday and the footy season hasn’t started yet, so what else are you supposed to do? Go dress shopping with your wife or something? Puh-lease. Let’s punt. Here are the tips. SYDNEY Race 6 no 2 Profiteer Mick Price has brought this fella up from Melbourne […]
About a month back we told you that the Queensland owned pacer Merlin was New Zealand’s best two-year-old. It seemed that up until about 6 o’clock last night a lot of Kiwis disagreed, for they backed his rival Seve from $2.60 into $1.50 in the heat of the Group 2 Young Guns pace at Alexandra […]
