There is a New Dickhead Who Sticks Their Head in Every Day – or Perhaps an Old, Half-Blind Bald One With a Claret Face From Booze Recycled
Some clown who calls himself Tony C wrote in to bag us in the message above, claiming that we were unfairly picking on David Fowler for his call. Why would we? We know David and like him as a character of the track, notwithstanding his proclivities and his flaws. Our critiques are merely professional, because […]
The Second Fastest Horse Ever in Australia? Balastier – The Definition of Insanity? This Ride By Jordan Childs, And This Stewarding by RV
Black Caviar was the first – and only – horse to ever break 10 seconds for a 200m (1 furlong split). She ran 9.98 seconds, which is the equivalent of breaking 2.00 minutes for the 42km of the marathon, a feat that has just been achieved. Not even Ka Ying Rising has run faster. No […]
David Fowler Gets it All Wrong
Brisbane race caller David Fowler has never been much good at picking close photos. But has he ever been this bad? Fowler called the favorite Icarian Dream the winner of race 5 at Eagle Farm this afternoon, and did it with confidence. Misplaced confidence. The problem was he called it ten meters out from the […]
This Hawkesbury Track is a Disgrace – The Club Should Be Stripped of Its Right to Hold Metro Meetings Forever
I am not far from alone in hating Saturday metropolitan meetings being run at provincial tracks, and today’s Hawkesbury card is the perfect example why they shouldn’t be allowed. The Hawkesbury track is officially rated a Good 4, which when a course proper is prepared to proper standards is generally regarded as the ideal surface […]
Chocolates is the Real Deal
Swayzee is a dual NZ Cup and Hunter Cup winner who has also won Victoria Cup and a Blacks A Fake. He led last night in the Roy Purdon Memorial and dictated the pace. The Lazarus Effect had won three Group races in a row, including last start the G1 Taylor Mile. He sat on […]
Peter Profit Gets Things Done
Our recent story about how the Tasmanian Racing Appeals Board makes decisions at the pace of a three-legged turtle obviously had an effect. What Do You Have To Do To Get An Appeal Decision In Tasmania? Three of the five delayed appeal decisions that we highlighted have suddenly been delivered after we published our story. […]
Did You Get The Chocolates?
You can bet $2.15 at the moment about Chocs, and given that the market it set at around 130% you might even get even better. It is absolute money for jam. Take the tip. Just get on. This is what we wrote on Friday morning about Got The Chocolates chances in the Roy Purdon Memorial […]
Put That Your Pipe and Smoke it Bankstown Boys
Certain readers of ours have been shouting from the rooftops that this was the Year of the Dogs. The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs. They are kidding themselves. It is the Year of the Cowboys. We smashed them tonight. Canterbury are bums. Goodnight Doggies. Your season is over. Go back to school. Oh, you’re already there. We took […]
Chris Waller Please Explain
WTF are they doing riding Travolta so far back in races? It happened again today in the Wagga Cup when for the 4th race in succession the horse was positioned back near last by the jockey – Tommy Berry today but J-Mac previously, and given no hope in the world of winning off a slow […]
