What’s Going On Here?
I want to take you back to the TAB meeting at Ewan in QLD last Friday, the first day of the tiny former mining site turned ghost town’s two day carnival of racing. It is race 6 that we are interested in. This is the finish close up, taken from a still shot of the […]

MND is a Dreadful Disease – The Law is an Arse – And an Absolute Disgrace (First Published 11 June)
My beloved Dad resting in state. I did everything I could to help him, except help him die, because the law didn’t allow it, and he wouldn’t let me go to jail even though I was prepared to for love, just like Kylie Truswell-Mobbs. Dad loved me as much as I loved him, and it […]
Ray Thomas’ Enormous Contribution to the Australian Peroxide Industry
I guess when it comes to it we are all a little bit vain, but it’s hard not to say that the one time leading Sydney racing writer Ray Thomas takes self-love a little way beyond the pale. Peroxide is in Ray’s world the new black. Good luck to him. But I hate to say […]

Murray […]

And Then Gets It Wrong
LAUGHING STOCK IS WHAT THEY ARE I noted five more downgrades have been listed by that Asian committee now having the say about what happens in Australia.
