Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Josh Parr is a conundrum. He has all the ability in the world as a jockey, but insists on riding them dead. It’s because he lacks confidence in himself, and is a bit short of moral fibre too. Parr rode the short priced favourite Smokeshow in race 4 a Gosford on Friday afternoon. He rode […]
Do you reckon that James Innes Jr was fair dinkum on Blueskin in the Eve Security Services Maiden Plate at Gosford on Friday? I very much doubt it. Blueskin was a first starter coming into this off two trials. In the first of them a month ago he jumped like a rabbit with Innes on […]
Rackemup Tierpie has had a lot of bad luck in recent runs. The high class Ian Stanley free-for-aller was due some. He finally got it yesterday in the Maryborough Cup. Batman Barry, the second favourite in the race, was a certainty to lead early from the pole, but having caused a false start the first […]
Lachie Manzelmann is a talented driver, but unfortunately he is a most reckless and dangerous one too, as he proved in the first race at Redcliffe last night. The further question is whether there is something else behind his crazy drive in this race as well. There were two chances in the first last night, […]
Dandy Andy has phoned in from the COVID capital to lodge his displeasure with the decision of the judges in yesterday’s Magic Millions Cup 4-way photo finish result of the MM Cup. Our eagle-eyed reader and rabid race watcher is convinced that Holyfield on the inside landed the knockout blow on the line, and looking […]
This is the finish of race 5 at Menangle last night. The outside horse was declared the winner by a nose. Can you see a nose there? I’m buggered if I can.
Colt Thirty One is a multiple Group 1 winning pacer who’d had 97 starts for 46 wins and 31 placings coming into race 3 at Menangle last night. The Colt is a new rating (NR) 120. That’s no surprise, given Queensland’s greatest pacer of the past decade has won in excess of a million dollars. […]
Everyone is social distancing here today at Gold Coast races. Emma Freedman Yes Emma. Absolutely everyone. Even the Racing Minister. Do these Covidiots want to get sick or something? They call irresponsible fools like this super spreaders don’t they?
When you get to the elite level of any sport it becomes a game of inches. A single bad decision or a silly small mistake can change the course of history. Think Ben Hunt’s big drop in the Grand Final against the Cowboys, or Carlos Spencer’s floating cut out pass to Stirling Mortlock in the […]
Lochinvar Art was a mighty run first up for a year in the Shepparton Gold Cup. Only Jack Callaghan beat him. Jack Callaghan is not a horse, he’s a 20-year-old driver. Even at that tender age I would go so far as to say that after this superlative drive on Spirit of St Louis to […]
