Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Earlier in the week Racing NSW used their contingency fund to implement starter payments for owners and trainers of horses to offset their increased costs due to the rapidly rising cost of petrol. Today it is the low paid workers in racing’s turn and work at least 8 hours a week will receive $100 a […]
One guess what the good Dr Whiting’s special this week is? If you said My Gladiola then a gold star to you. The Doc got 5 last week. This week she is aiming for 7. I’m backing her.
Three days ago we asked a rhetorical question about whether five SA greyhound Stewards had been stood down. I say rhetorical because we already knew the answer, but to be on the safe side were just awaiting double confirmation that our mail was correct. It was. Apparently Channel 7 broke the news “exclusively” a few […]
Those who knock Peter V’Landys are imbeciles in my opinion, and I mean that with the greatest of respect. Just look at what he has done here. The price of fuel is going through the roof, trainers can’t sleep at night worried that they are f**ked, owners are thinking to themselves “Sh*t, how am I […]

Story by Charlie Dadds A once highly decorated Australian athlete has been jailed after he descended into a life of crime and drugs following a career-ending fall and the sudden death of his wife. Former jockey Mark William Aghan, 65, was sentenced in […]
People ask me why I speak so highly of retiring QLD Racing Appeals Panel Chairperson Judge Kerry O’Brien, despite him having kicked me in the arse in an exercise of judicial discretion that I thought was rather skewed those with LLB’s way, albeit in my opinion orderly but unfairly. Doesn’t matter though, I’m from Geebung, […]
So the punters who bet on You And I in race 5 at Eagle Farm today do so thinking that the horse is wearing blinkers and a tongue tie, because the Racing Australia and RQ websites don’t tell them otherwise. The horse’s trainer Jackson Morris doesn’t present the horse to race with either. While I […]
The rumors out of APG Sydney post-yearling sale event are ugly. Apparently a very senior unpaid official of the company manhandled a staff member that they were for one reason or another extremely unhappy with. The official was said to have been drinking red wine heavily for many hours before the incident, and is reported […]
