Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
155A. (1) Notwithstanding the provisions of Rules 154 and 155 any horse which has broken gait free of interference, and remains in the incorrect gait when its nose reaches the finish line, and is covered by any other horse or horses in the correct gait it shall be placed behind such horse or horses. (2) For the purposes […]
Well sort of. Miki is actually the equal fastest horse ever in the world. Not that there is anything wrong with that. I strongly suspect that a leading NZ breeder who sold a Love You colt for $280 000 at last year’s Christchurch sale may have a few quality lots by Always B Miki in […]
I’m quite sure that Queenslanders and Western Australians have never been happier happier with their political representatives in the entire history of Federation that we are right now. While we see and read of the havoc and carnage that the coronavirus is wreaking in NSW and Victoria, it all seems so far away, almost as […]
After Magic Owens win on the weekend I got in touch with his trainer/driver Mario Borg to congratulate him on the win, thank him for the tip that I didn’t get (it would have been a first), and most of all to let him know that I knocked off his $21 on the way in. […]
What a great day of racing it was today in both Sydney and Melbourne. You know winter’s over when the Group 1’s start rolling, and the next seven weeks are what we wait for all year. Bring it on I say! SYDNEY First things first, wasn’t it great to be back at a proper city […]
Kate Gath is one of the most brilliant people in the bike in Australia. She totally pulled Matt Craven’s pants down in the Shepparton Trotting Cup by getting around him to the lead from the outside of the back row on Majestuoso after 3/4 of a lap, and from that point on it was all […]
PROBABLES King of Swing Reigning two-time horse of the year. Champion. Freak. A worthy favourite for the series, and the one they all have to beat. Expensive Ego Wouldn’t you love to have a second stringer like Luke McCarthy does in this bloke? Or is he the second stringer at all? McCarthy has long said […]
My wife Maggie is a Tokuma. This is her family. They didn’t descend from Solomon Islanders brought into Samoa as indentured labourers by the German colonial oppressors. They descended from an 11-year-old Papua New Guinean kid named Turaroe Tokoma, who lives just across the water from the start of the Solomons, an was down swimming […]
Well there goes Incentivise’s chances of winning the Melbourne Cup. 55.5 kilograms for a horse that has won just two Open Company races, they being a weak Group 3 and a strong Group 1 over a mile, which of course is half the distance of the Cup. It an outrageous weight, so far over the […]
My personal assessment of NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian is that she is a dishonest, greedy trougher who couldn’t lie straight in bed and shouldn’t be trusted any further than you can throw her, divided by ten. I also reckon her days as Premier are fast coming to an end, and that in no time at […]
