Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Archie Jett Turnbull only knows how to drive horses one way. Go forward. He shows absolutely no tactics when he drives. The only time he does show some tactics is when there are other Nathan Turnbull trained horses in the same race and they team drive. His drive at Young tonight on Holme Boy is […]
Ron O’Regan is veteran Kiwi greyhound trainer, who works out of Paeroa – home of L&P soft drink – with his daughter Naomi. Ron is a dodgy bastard. In 2o22 the Stewards rocked up at his kennels to do a without notice out of competition inspection. They found a dead rabbit in his fridge. O’Regan […]

No matter how long you have been involved in racing, there are still things you learn every day. The case of the two late scratchings in the first race at the Sunshine Coast yesterday is one of them.
