Jockey Reece Jones was thrown from his mount when returning to scale after race 2 at Scone on Friday, and hit the ground hard, banging his head. The on-course paramedics diagnosed the rider as displaying signs of concussion and stood him down from his remaining mounts for the day. If Jones rode in Victoria or […]
Fox Sports need to get their facts right. Andrea Leek wasn’t the 2nd female trainer to win a Cox Plate. She was the third. Deidre Stein from Bathurst was the first, in 1995 with Rising Prince. The second was Moira Murdoch from Auckland, who won it with Solvit in 1994. None of this takes away […]
The weights for the Melbourne Cup are insane. Birdman and Aeliana head the handicaps with 58kg apiece. Aeliana is a 5YO mare who has won a Derby, a Ranvet, and a Tancred, all of them at WFA. She has the same weight as Makybe Diva had in her third Cup win, after she had won […]

The meeting at Ballarat yesterday was cancelled after just two races had been run, following an incident in the second when for seemingly no reason at all a horse went down on its nose and almost fell, as seen in the clips below. It was fine and sunny, and the track was a Good 4. […]
It will be a busy few days for Grimson with Captains Mistress and Minos due to fly to NZ on Sunday – HRNZ website today The great problem with the trots both here in New Zealand and over the ditch in Oz is that everyone materially involved in the sport regards punters as absolute mugs, […]
Archie, No real harm done from a punting point of view, but a dangerous precedent was set at Mount Isa during the week. Well after acceptances (and close to lunchtime), the Bevan Johnson-trained Nassau County was allowed to start with 4kg apprentice Jason Miller on board.
