Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
I Think I’m Getting Old and Going Mad Archie I’m with you on the Sydney protest. Dismissed. Zac Lloyd’s horse initially laid out when he had the whip in his right hand earlier in straight, he put the whip in his left hand and then the horse laid in. Lloyd pulled the whip back through […]
The Shane Jackson trained Andy Win, which only had its first start over the sticks 3 months ago back in May, did the near impossible yesterday at Ballarat by taking out the Grand National Steeple at it debut over the bigger fences, completing the very rare GN Hurdle-Steeple double in the process, something only 2 […]
The well informed mail out of the QLD coalfields is suggesting that more than one of the 14 horses that raced at Emerald on the 29th of June, and were either pre or post race tested, have thrown positive swabs, including one trained by a well-known leading identity in the region. Gossip is also circling […]
Young Western Apprentice Tara Atherden had a day to remember at Carnarvon yesterday, where she rode the winners of two-thirds of the card. Atherden, who only made her racetrack debut 2 months ago, came into yesterday having won just 1 from her first 35 rides, but that was never going to be a worry or […]

Basically the class system is based on how many wins a horse has had. A maiden winner becomes a Class 1 because it has won one race, a Class 1 winner becomes a Class […]
As we reported , NSW’s leading trainer Jason Grimson was directed to attend a Steward’s Inquiry after driving in race 6 at Albion Park last week, and failed to do so. To describe it metaphorically by using a colloquialism, Grimson spat in the QRIC stipes face. They just wiped the golly away, and allowed him […]
The report out of South Australia is the the trotter The Vicars Girl, winner of 12 out of its past 14 starts at Victor Harbour, Port Pirie and Globe Derby after a long run of outs, including it’s last seven in a row, has thrown a positive swab. Apparently the Stipes rocked up to trainer […]
The images that I am showing you are from race 4 at Innisfail today. A hot looking woman was allowed to stand on the point of the turn and take pictures. Jockeys were distracted, and turned their heads to gaze at her. And when they passed by she ducked under the rail and ran across […]
I don’t know, maybe I am just getting and more progressively blind or something. Or perhaps I am just talking through my kick, which is perfectly possible because the decision cost me over a grand. But I just cannot be as certain as the NSW Stewards were that the grey was going to hold off […]
Brisbane race caller David Fowler called the winner of the first at Doomben Celtic Sun throughout the entire race. The horse’s name is actually Celtic Sin. Oops. The Rooster has committed the caller’s cardinal sin. A great start to the day for him.
