Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
This is the head on Steward’s footage of the final stages of yesterday’s Frank Packer Plate at Randwick.. The outside horse won by 0.1 lengths, which is a nose in my book and a short-half head in Darren Flindell’s. Either way, it’s a bee’s dick. The outside horse came in a smidgen and they scraped […]
The South Australian Racing Appeals Tribunal has overturned Todd Balfour’s 5-year disqualification for pulling down the pants of a Steward and exposing him naked from the waist down, and replaced it with a 4.5 month DQ, which includes time already served. The Tribunal characterised Balfour’s actions as an assault, describing what he did as inappropriate […]
Emma Stewart and Clayton Tonlkin – under whose name the pair’s team are trained these days – had starters in 3 of the 4 Nutrien Sales final races at Melton last night and won them all. Bay of Biscay trained in Emma’s name won the 3yo colt’s final, earning $75 000 as a reward. The […]
Tt was the 5 handed Clayton Crew v the one out Grant Dixon and Nathan Jack last night in the Nutrien 2yo final at Melton . A team of five will usually beat two single gunslingers in a shoot out in their home town, and despite Dixon’s best efforts that’s what happened when the Clayon […]
The GRV Stewards reported that there were no incidents in race 5 at Bendigo yesterday. They must have been watching a different race to me. Keep your eyes on the 3 dog in the white rug and see what happens to it as they turn into the straight for home. See it get smashed by […]
What was Richie Bell thinking when he called Kate Gath little Katie during his call of the Nullarbor last night? Little Katie? What does that make all the women and men that she outdrove? Little Jacks, Cams and Juniors? Gimme a break. That sort of description is demeaning sexist crap that has no place in […]
Angus Garrard was handed a 7-day suspension for knocking a rival’s horse arse over tit at Albion Park last night, in breach of the rules. Garrard has 6 engagements to drive at Albion Park tonight, many of them horses well backed in the early betting markets. The punters who backed them did so in reliance […]
Tamworth trainer Dean Chapple has this week been disqualified for 2 years on a charge of presenting one of his horses to race (and win) with the painkiller Meloxicam in it’s system. https://www.hrnsw.com.au/uploads/files/integrity%20notices/240419%20mr%20dean%20chapple%20inquiry%20conducted.pdf It’s an extraordinarily heavy sentence for a substance breach offence that usually attracts just fines. Look at some of the comparative recent […]
It’s said that Cameron Hart was far from happy with Jack Callaghan after the Nullarbor last night, with the issue bering that Callaghan on Spirit of St Louis wouldn’t hand up the lead to Hot And Treacherous when Cam Hart pressured him to. Well bully for Cam. The winner of the past 4 NSW drivers […]
Have you ever heard that in a race call before? I don’t think I had until I heard it in a trot race at Dubbo tonight. Know what it means? I didn’t. It means a long neck. After my night on the punt I need half a dozen. https://magpile.com/kingbrown/#:~:text=Kingbrown%20is%20West%20Australian%20slang,like%20a%20good%2040%20should.
