Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
What a game. What a win. What a team. Anyone who doesn’t love the Matilda’s is totally un-Australian. They should be deported. Same Kerr should be PM. Ellie Carpenter her Deputy. Katrina Gorry the Minister for Defence. Mary Fowler the Minister for Sport. I love footy. But this was the best game I’ve seen all […]
I love the Matildas and have backed them to win this game currently underway against China. But what’s with these uniforms? They look like the bloody All Black Australian teams wear green and gold. Full stop. Anything else is sacreligious. Ho! As I am writing it Super Sammy has just scored! Out of nothing! A […]
Kingman is heading to the paddock and won’t be crossing over the ditch to run in the Race By Betcha. Really? Gee whiz. “That (huge) Hunter Cup run took its toll on him,” Kingman’s owner Mick Harvey said. “When Swayzee was losing ground (in the Miracle Mile), he (Kingman) would normally go straight past him, […]
The view out the window at 5.00pm this afternoon. OMG there is a cloud going over a mountain! Bunker down! But does anyone see a cyclone coming? There is more chance of spotting the Loch Ness Monster. So on Tuesday morning the BOM told Far North QLD residents living in Paradise, Port Douglas like Maggie […]
Hey mate, Just on your whip rule story I don’t know why jockeys don’t protest if they are beaten by another jockey breaking the rule to beat them. John from Jericho Editor’s Note Me either.
AR 132(7) Subject to the other requirements in this rule: (a) prior to the 100 metre mark in a race, official trial or jump-out: (i) the whip must not be used in consecutive strides. Apprentice Bella Youngberry rode the winner of race 1 at Ipswich on the weekend, the horse in the royal blue in […]
I have just been corrected. It was not Harness Racing NSW that altered the distance of the NSW Derby from 2400m to a mile, it was Club Menangle. For mine that makes it even worse. Since when did Club Menangle own the Derby? All they do is host it. The Derby, a Group 1 classic, […]
I am sure the connections of winner Hollywood Strip would disagree, but I have to say that in my opinion the first – and only so far anywhere in Australia – running of the NSW Derby over a mile was a fizzer, even if I did back the winner. Derbies aren’t meant to be run […]
The progeny of Lyndhurst Stud’s newer sire Barbaric, a Black Opal winning son of I Am Invincible out of the smart Group 2 winning race mare Mimi Lebrock, were expected to do well at the March Magic Millions sale after achieving fantastic results at the premier sale in January, but it wasn’t to be. There […]
Know who ran the fastest mid section in the Miracle Mile? By miles? It wasn’t the great Leap To Fame, the winner who ran the 1200-400m split in 55.06. Or the runner up The Janitor who went through it even faster in 55.01, the second fastest of the race. It was Bulletproof Boy. The horse […]
