Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
A big shout out to New Zealand’s richest punter (not that you’d know it looking at him) Tim Vince, who we are told has been in hospital a few times lately with a misfiring heart. Funny thing is we didn’t Stonefish had one. Get well soon Mr Vince. We can’t have you cark on us […]
So jockey Lauren Guernier gets hurt and taken to hospital after her mount in the 3rd at Atherton on the weekend breaks through the barrier gates and throws her, the poor kid. Thankfully we are told she is alright. Guernier has a ride in the next race. Chief Steward Paul Gillard scratches it because according […]
How do I say this without painting myself as a hypocrite, or pissing people off? There is no way do it, so I just will. I love Swayzee. He is my sort of horse. Tough, gutsy, versatile. Heart like Phar Lap. Yeah f0r sure he races on, or has at stage raced on, something that […]
I backed Torque To Be Sure in the Magic Millions Guineas yesterday, so thank God I wasn’t on the Stewards panel, because I would have upheld the protest and cost myself plenty. That interference was all Ben Melham’s, and it cost Ninja the race. Everyone wanted to talk about the margin, but that is not […]
Last week we told you about the absolutely incredible and amazing performance improvement of a mare named Shes A Warrawee since it came to QLD and the Mitchell Dawson stable. This Shit Ain’t Real – But it Is We told you that what had just happened by the mare wasn’t real. Horses don’t get that […]

When it comes to harness racing drivers Luke McCarthy is the stud. He showed it again in the Shepparton Cup last night. McCarthy didn’t just out-drive Grant Dixon, he […]
Warwoven is currently $2.10 on the TAB, which is not the sort of price that anyone would want to be taking about a 2YO that has twice been tested as lame on the day before the race. It should be $10.00 and blowing, but no-one is game to make the call. Or maybe they just […]
Dean Chapple is a drug cheat. We all know that. I wouldn’t give two cents for the bloke. He’s a plucky little rooster though, that I gave to give him. Chapple came back last night from his long spell for giving a shot horse painkillers. Bang. A winner from his first drive. Buddy Perfect. That […]
Back to Headquarters at last says Dr Whiting. Look out here she comes.
Paleface winning the 1973 NSW Derby, run over 2300m What the hell is the go with all these top class races around the country being reduced to miles? First we had the Bendigo Cup cut back to 1609m, although they ended up running it over 1720m at Melton when the meeting got moved because of […]
