Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Tabcorp are not doing the bookmaking sector a whole lot of favours by their corporate behaviour at present are they? I mean here you have an industry under pressure from all sides, one that is facing a growing groundswell of parliamentary and public pressure to ban gambling advertising entirely, a tide of opinion that is […]
Last night at Dubbo the 3-year-old pacer Our Sailor provided a very special Boxing Day present to it’s connections and to those who backed it from double figure odds into $5.50 – presumably one and the same – when it won the 4th race on the card from the breeze. It was a very clever […]
The news that leading thoroughbred trainer Ciaron Maher and his stable manager Ben Connolly have been hit with charges by Racing Victoria for allegedly allegedly concealing conman Peter Foster’s ownership of a number of racehorses, including top class mare Azkadelia, comes as no surprise to this little brown duck, and I will go out on […]
American Me was a talented but rather limited pacer for the first 4 years that it raced. During that time it was trained by Doug Gale and then Gavin Smith. It won 9 restricted races from 61 starts, and earned about $100 grand in prizemoney, less than it cost to train and feed it. Then […]
Races 1 and 2 at the Toowoomba gallops last Saturday week were a nondescript BM65 and a Class 3. Both events attracted QLD TAB win betting pools of well in excess of $10 000. The Inter Dominion Grand Final is a time honoured championship that it the culmination of the greatest series on the harness […]
If you ever want to see a beautiful ride then watch James McDonald’s steer on the winner Adefill in race 9 in Hong Kong yesterday. It’s the horse in the grey with the pink cap.

How often is it that you see Emma Stewart take four horses to the track to run in four races and come away with no wins and just two thirds? Not very often is the answer. She should have won one – and would have if Mark Pitt hadn’t made the wrong decision to pull […]
You scumbag, you maggotYou cheap lousy faggotHappy Christmas your arseI pray God it’s our last – the Pogues, Fairytale in New York Franco Landry hadn’t been going too good in 2023. In fact in 22 starts this year the best it could manage was a solitary 2nd and three 3rds. So when money started raining […]
For some unknown and to the best of my knowledge unannounced reason the 2 Saturday TAB race meetings at the Gold Coast following the Magic Millions meeting on the 13th of January have been cancelled. Why? Is there a problem with the new track? Someday soon we may find out.
This is the Stewards report from the Mackay meeting on Friday. There is not a word about the form turnaround of Nic Me Some from it’s last placing 6 days earlier when it was hooked. There is no supplementary report detailing anything about the ride of Dale Evans on that occasion either. Funny that. Silence […]
