Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
How do you increase the number of red blood cells that are stored in a horse’s spleen? You use blood builders. These can be a variety of things, on their own or – more usually – used in combination. Sodium bicarbonate – a milkshake – is the traditional way, but in the modern era that […]
The bloke in the video above is leading WA trainer Michael Young. Listen to him as he tells the harness media and the public that his 2 runners won’t be trying in their races at Pinjarra on Monday night. Lovely stuff isn’t it? Fortunately for punters who ignored him or didn’t hear this interview, Young […]
The wheels seem to have spun off old mate Bodine ‘BoBo’ Bailey’s wagon ever since he and his cocaine loving lawyer Corey ‘CeeCee’ Cullen threatened to sue us for a quarter of a million dollars unless we paid then 10 grand for nothing, and then didn’t follow through when we asked them for more information […]
Out peeps in the legal fraternity tell us than Jason Hoopert got done for ‘driving’ pissed over the general limit, but not over the middle limit, and for driving without a license. The funny thing is that we are told that the fool wasn’t driving a car, he was riding an e-scooter. What an absolute […]

Dear QRIC I see your advert for a Senior Steward, and note that it is listed under the occupational classification of Journalism and Writing. Although I myself never knew that senior racing integrity roles were designed for racing writers, given recent events that demonstrate that your current incumbents in the job don’t know what day […]
It is by now well known that an agreement has been struck between Racing NSW and the Australian Turf Club (ATC) to allow Morgan Kelly – the man that Peter V’Landys and co wanted to appoint as administrator of the race club, and which the ATC opposed and rejected – to undertake an independent review […]
These are the horses who were supposed to be on the property where the three pictured above died, or at least according to the court records. Our investigations have found that only three, or at best four, presently survive. These ones. Where are the rest? As far as we can see, none of the […]
The original Duke of Bourbon (above). Have a look at the run of this debutante 2yo trotter Duke Of Bourbon at Alexandra Park on Friday night. It was backed from $4.00 into $1.85, and although it got beaten you can see why. The inexperienced Duke became unbalanced and galloped at the start, and lost who […]
