Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Everyone’s favorite punter David ‘Baldy’ Frolley sure does get around. We’ve spotted him in recent times at Grafton, Coffs Harbor, Murwillumbah, Ipswich – where he got kicked out for declaring the betting room a sub-standard brothel, before we got him back in (we’re still waiting for our thank you) – and now today he’s bobbed up […]
Original Stewards Report (above), and amendment to report (top) In the wake of our story about the whip battle between C. Meehan and T. Chambers at Rockhampton yesterday the QRIC has updated its official Stewards report to include reference to an inquiry that will be held into the incident. Whilst it remains a mystery how […]
Chris Meehan in sky blue silks and cap, with purple sleeves, Tasha Chambers in the blue with blue and white striped cap Here is the rear view Stewards vision of the incident at Rockhampton that the 5 on-duty stipes didn’t see. Looking at it from this angle you can clearly see C. Meehan and T. […]
Will Rixon drove he and Valley Start into a bit of bother in the 2nd race at Menangle on Tuesday afternoon. Rixon was 3rd the fence when they reached the straight for home, but rather than wait for the gap to appear he decided to make it appear, so he pushed out underneath Sofia Arvidsson […]
Mate I normally agree with pretty much everything you write but not with what you written about Will Rixon. If you see the video and look closely you notice that the wheels jam together tight and that’s because Sofie has a UFO gig which are bad for this happening with and everyone knows this. Instead […]
Tasha Chambers was very, very lucky that the five Stewards on duty at Rockhampton yesterday were seemingly blind, for if they weren’t she would likely have found herself sitting on the sidelines for a while. Fellow jockey Chris Meehan might have been too. Chambers is on the horse in the purple and white with striped […]
If you were on Idle Flyer (purple, white cap) in the last race on the Kenso at Randwick on Wednesday you would have thrown your ticket into the rubbish bin and headed for the exit at the 200m mark. Not Zac Lloyd though. Give Up never won a race, and Lloyd didn’t give up. He […]
I’m not sure whether apprentice rider Amy O’Driscoll was trying to channel Cyril Small (Vo Rogue) or Jim Cassidy (Might and Power) in this recent race at Wagga, but it didn’t work. It usually doesn’t unless you are on a champion, and no-one ever accused O’Driscoll’s mount Ledecky’s Dream of being that. Ledecky’s Dream finished […]
So it’s Thursday, five days after the Ballarat Cup was run and won, and still there is no Stewards Report. Why not? QLD Stewards get their Albion Park report up on websites immediately after the meeting. This is the gold class standard. RWWA Stewards are usually the same day or next. ORI in Tasmania get […]
Te Aroha trainer Shane Simon says he doesn’t have a problem with meth (known as P or Ice). No-one but him believes it. In November last year Simon threw a personal positive to the insidious, evil drug that has wrecked families and communities. He pleaded guilty of a breach of the prohibited substance rule, and […]
