Call Me The Cooler
First Captain’s Mistress and the broken seat, and now this. Call me the cooler. I should give up the punt. But what else would I do on a Saturday? The crossword? Play bowls? Go bushwalking? F**k that. What time’s the next?

A Very Fair Question
Archibald (Why does that CeeCee lawyer fellow keep calling you Brendan?) Racing Queensland must be out to destroy country racing. I see a race got deleted in Innisfail today because there were not enough acceptances. But as you pointed out in Townsville they let a race in with just five acceptance , and then let […]
A Quick Peek at an Amazing Card of Harness Racing At Menangle Tonight
Race 2 – NSW Derby Heat 1 Showmethetalines ran 1.52.1 at Newcastle and 1.51.5 at Menangle when trained by A F Kelly. Jason Grimson has him now, and will improve him by 2-3 seconds. He is a certainty. Soho Trump and Rewatch are the only dangers, but with the addition of the Grimson magic there […]

I was always taught than an exclusive story meant that you broke the news and published it first. Ben Dorries claims that his tale about Greg Bennett’s return to harness racing is an ‘exclusive’. It’s not. We were the first to break the story and told you about it several weeks ago, and followed up […]
Weight Stops Trains – Will it Stop Tentyris?
Can Tentyris become the first 3-year-old since Ajax in 1938 to carry 57kg to victory in the Newmarket Handicap? The market farmers say yes, and a lot of prominent tipsters agree. And Tentyris is one hell of a horse who ran a scintillating 31.50 seconds for his final 600m in the Lightning. But he did […]

Ms. Holt advised that her original intention had been to start SCARLENA and GONE COUNTRY at the Townsville meeting on […]
