They Are Kidding Aren’t They?
Yeah good Harness Racing Australia. Nice try. Ever heard of a VPN? You won’t be blocking me boys and girls. There is more than one way to skin a cat. Consider yourself skinned.
Nude Tips
The Naked Tipster had been curled up in front of the fire in the buff all week doing the form and the replays to find us some winners at Caulfield tomorrow, which is no easy feat on the recently notoriously unpredictable tracl. Unknown race day bias notwithstanding, Dr Whiting is confident she has found us […]
It’s a Good Gig If You Can Get It
Betmakers has altered its CEO Jake Henson’s employment agreement so that he has to be given 12 months notice or paid a year’s salary if they want to get rid of him. When the average Australian worker has a 2-4 week termination clause in their awards, it’s a damn good deal for Henson. One that […]
So What’s the Real Go With Betr’s Move to Tasmania?
Betr are saying that they are moving their bookmaking license from the Northern Territory to Tasmania to “support the company’s objective of operating from a jurisdiction that aligns with its long-term strategic, governance and responsible gambling priorities”. If you believe it you’re as silly as a wheel, even sillier than the Betr spin doctors who […]
More Canary Rorts
Hi Archie You think that Dream Light was a rort! If you want to buy a 10% share in the old trotter Voronov it will cost you $7800! https://www.offnracing.co.nz/product/208/voronov/ The Canary only paid 15k to buy the horse from Dr Luk Chin. Admittedly there are no training fees, but I assume this means because he’s […]

One time Sky Channel star Chynna Marston has had her disqualification for animal welfare offences reduced from 7 years to 5 by the NSW Racing Appeals Panel, and her boyfriend Alex Kean has had his cut from 6 to 5 too. Neither of them bothered to respond to the hearing notice, and the pair didn’t […]
Its All About Good Manners
Earlier this week we wrote an article saying that Ikagai, which had galloped at 10 of its 14 previous starts, including in the first round of ID26 heats, should be banned from the series. Blessed Are They Who Gallop in an ID26 Heat, For They Shall Be Forgiven – If They Behave Chris from Clontarf […]
How Unlucky Can a Punter Be?
There is this desperately optimistic punter who we will call Barry. Barry had a 19 leg multi for a $1000 outlay on Neds, which if successful would have landed him a collect of almost a quarter of million bucks. He nailed 18 of the 19 legs. The 19th leg – leg number 16 in the […]
He Did Fall, After All
There was much conjecture that Japanese jockey Shuichi Terachi may have jumped off his mount at Port Augusta a couple of weeks ago. We came out and said that was nonsense, and declared that the kid fell not hauled off. Well guess what? The Stewards report is out now, and it is confirmed that the […]
How Big a Rort is This?
Everyone’s favorite Kiwi trot syndicator Andrew ‘the Canary’ Fitzgerald has pulled another classic rort on the unsuspecting punters keen to get a foot in the game, and this time he has outdone himself. The Canary bought a filly named Dream Light at the Gavelhouse online auction for $5 000 three weeks ago. https://standardbred.gavelhouse.com/results/search?search=dream%20light&page=0 He is […]
