Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Tough-guy American actor Charles Bronson once starred in movie called “Yes Virginia, There is a Santa Claus” which was about trying to preserve a child’s wide-eyed innocent belief in a jolly fat man in a red suit breaking into her house and leaving presents under the pine tree stolen from out of the bloke down […]
There has been much debate over whether Darren Weir’s 2-year disqualification for using the jigger on his Melbourne Cup runners a few years back was t00 light, manifestly excessive, or just right, with the latter being the broad consensus. Whatever your thoughts on the controversial topic are, there is one thing that is certain beyond […]
This is the far from madding crowd of activists standing outside Geelong today shouting abuse at racing fans and calling them complicit to murder. It’s lucky we punters are a hard headed with thick skins borne of a thousand quaddy killers, otherwise we might actually take what these idiots say personally. The lot of them […]
The winner of race 6 at Mildura last night came up the rail to win. It didn’t hold onto the victory for long. Stewards disqualified the horse. Gee I don’t know why. Do you? Ha ha ha.
It seems that the racehorse Sydney Bowler needs a new part-owner. One of the current ones had just been disqualified, so he is not allowed to own his share anymore. Which is probably a good thing because the owner – a certain Mr. Jason Love – received his 4 month disqualification (reduced to 3 if […]
Lombo Pocket Watch was one of the greatest juvenile pacers that Australia has ever seen. This horse won 18 races in a row as a 2-year-old, including five Group 1’s, and became the first of his age ever to win the Australian Horse of the Year. Being a rare grey in color, he was also […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/qld/APC21102504.mp4 Lulu Mae was backed from $9.00 into $3.80 to win race 7 at Albion Park yesterday. That was bit odd because she was a rating 64 mare racing against males rated up to 75. Money talks though. Win Lulu did. 1.51.4 she went. Which is a bit weird. The fastest time that Lulu had […]
Now we don’t at all agree with most of David Pocock’s virulently anti-gambling stance, but in the case he is talking about in the video below we absolutely do. A punter with a gambling problem self-excludes from Ultra Bet. So what does Ultra Bet do? They send him an email urging him to come back […]
See that woman in the video? That’s WNBA star Kelsey Plum. Her husband is sitting up in the bleachers near the back of the stand. Plum decides to throw him up a beer. And lands the can straight in his paws. Bet you couldn’t do this if you had 1000 tries. What a legend. Do […]
Oisin Murphy is a brilliant rider, a real star in the saddle, as most Australians who witnessed him ride out here as an apprentice will attest. Murphy is also a supreme competitor who works by the “Do whatever it takes” to win philosophy made famous by former Labor Senator Graham Richardson. Leading UK trainer William […]
