Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
On a day of penalties for careless riding at the Sunshine Coast yesterday, Michael Rodd received two suspensions, one of them 8 days for causing interference in race 2, and the other 12 days for causing interference in race 8.

Tasracing’s allocation of its slot in the Eureka to last night’s Beautide winner Fighter Command is farcical.

Samantha Collett is riding Hooks, the horse in the red and yellow glued to the fence. The race is race 3 at Ipswich on Friday. Hooks is the $4.49 second favorite. Collett sits up on her mount inside 50m from home. It clearly costs Hooks third place, no question at all. A $27 outsider runs […]
Outside of the State drivers premiership, in which the energizer bunny James Herbertson leads by 36 wins and has at his mercy, the race for the rest of the Victorian titles is as close as its been in recent memory. Mark Pitt and Greg Sugars are tied at the top of the metropolitan drivers ladder […]
Tasmanian’s worst trainer Wayne Yole kep up his outstanding record of failure by training the last placed horse in all seven races his stable contested at Hobart yesterday. That backed to Yole senior’s give last placings at Launceston on Friday to give him the unenviable record of twelve lat placings for the weekend. It’s amazing […]

Last night Major Moth won under double wraps over 2138m at Albion Park first-up from a 9 month spell. It was the horse’s first start for its new trainer […]
This bloke eased up a wee bit early didn’t he? Those who backed the horse have nominated its jockey for Idiot of the Year.
