Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The word is that Four Corners are doing a feature on Peter V’Landys. It’s not expected to be complimentary. Why do the ABC take such joy in cutting a bloke who should have a Group 1 named after him down? Is it related to V’Landys suing them for defamation over the knackery story? What’s the […]
Watch the horse on the inside in the blue and white colors of Julie Douglas. See what its driver Ryan Sanderson does at the 70m mark just when it looks a chance of sneaking up the inside to finish in 3rd or 4th place. If that’s not the drive of a reinsman who doesn’t want […]
First we had Rhinoceros. Then we had Elephant. And now he have Aarvark. What is this moronic trend of naming racehorses after slow, ugly animals? How do the owners who name them ever expect to win a Melbourne Cup? Don’t the nongs know that only 2 animals have ever won the Melbourne Cup, and one […]

The tests are real, and they’re here. Be afraid cheats, be very afraid […]
Apprentice jockey Dan McGillivray should head to the rodeo circuit I reckon, for he sure is a cowboy. I’ve lost count of the number of suspensions for careless riding that McGillivray has incurred in recent years, but there are a a lot, enough to prompt me to write a story on the topic of the […]
Dan McGillivray has one of the worst careless riding records of any current jockey in Queensland. It’s so bad that I’ve given up counting the number of suspensions that McGillivray has received, or the amount of time that he has spent on the sidelines through suspension. This is the bloke we wrote about 2 months […]
You shouldn’t laugh about dangerous racing incidents, but what were the odds of Jamie Kah being involved in a near-accident while attempting to take a needle eye split on the rails in the same week that she was outed for 3 weeks for not taking one up the middle? If yesterday’s interference that lead to […]
Stewards have issued an all points missing person bulletin for jockey Nathan ‘Grubby’ Day following his mysterious disappearance from the Ewan racecourse in North QLD yesterday without fulfilling an engagement.
