Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Take a look at this ride by Micheal McDonald on the odds on favorite Head Honcho in the 5th at Townsville today. It’s the horse in the blue and white. McDonald flops it out of the gate last. He then drives it up to make ground, but instead of positioning it one off the fence […]
It is interesting that the QRIC saw the need to respond to today’s article in the Courier-Mail listing the on-track deaths of greyhounds compiled by the Coalition For the Protection of Greyhounds (republished on this site) by issuing a media release (published in full in story below) saying that the death statistics were not reported […]

This above, according leading NZ media outlet thepost.co.nz, is the race that Operation Inca reckoned was fixed. They reckon the owner of the winner and another man conspired to ensure it would win. No clues are given to who the other man is. It’s a puzzle. See if you can work it out.
By Alecia Rousseau The Crown has been denied a chance to prosecute two men accused of match fixing after a court found lengthy delays breached the defendants’ right to be tried without undue delay. Brent Wall and another man were among several people arrested in 2018 as part of Operation Inca, a 17-month police sting looking […]
