Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Across the nation 7.5% of employees changes jobs this year, about 1 in every 7. At Racing Queensland 17.7% did, about 1 in 5. Why? That is a good question to which I have no ready answer. It can’t be the working conditions, as they are excellent. It can’t be the rigours of office life, […]
The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) today handed down its decision with regard to the penalty review hearings of Mr Eric Anderson and Mr Glenn Douglas against the decision of the HRV Racing Appeals and Disciplinary (RAD) Board to disqualify Mr Anderson and Mr Douglas for 6 months for offences against the Australian Rules […]
25 years of marriage later and I am still not bored. What the hell is wrong with me? Happy Anniversary Maggie. May there be many more. PS – The old duck’s Botox free and wearing no make up either. Is it any wonder I smile 18 hours a day?
Today is Ashburton Flying Stakes day. No, it is not a mobile race over a mile as the name suggests. It is a 2400m Group 2 run from a standing start. The Flying bit must refer to Self Assured’s start in last year’s NZ Trotting Cup, or would if it hadn’t been the name of […]

Is there a harness racing fan in the Southern Hemisphere who isn’t looking forward to the three-headed clash between Ride High, Lochinvar Art and Self-Assured? Oh man, how good is this going to be?

You don’t expect to see this when you go out for a late night piss on the lemon tree. This self-isolating serpent can get stuffed, and so can Dan Andrews, Scomo and all the other neo-fascists dividing Australia in two. Bugger the new Nazi/Apartheid pass card rules. A bloody snake will kill you quicker than […]
Rejuvenate is the best named horse in the world. Her story is a weird one. She is a ten year old mare by Emma Stewart’s first great pacer Safari, who won Country Cups and Group races for Africa, and finished 4th to Blacks A Fake in the 2008 Inter Dominion. Her mother is by Our […]
The elephant was big and strange looking, and he had huge ears. I had a .700 Nitro Express in my hands. He had tusks and a whole lot of heft. We looked at each other for a minute. Then he winked, and I nodded, and we both turned and walked the other way. US President […]
