Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
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 […]
The Christmas Cup on Saturday night was a most curious affair, a very odd one indeed. To me it looked for the world like a set up for the winner. That horse was Alta Revelry, which was smashed late in the betting from $15.00 into $8.50. It was driven by Pete ‘Noddy’ McMullen. The horse […]
Racing is mourning the passing of Mrs Susan Harley on Friday, 22 December 2023. Mrs Harley and her husband Gary have been iconic figures, the Harley name synonymous with racing and sports media in NSW, particularly in the Hunter Valley and Newcastle regions. Sue was Gary’s backstop in the media business, assisting in prepping all […]
The thing I like about this new Racing QLD CEO Jason Scott is that he fixes things. When problems occur in the hierarchy he doesn’t look to shoot the messenger, he goes straight to correcting the issue. It’s a highly admirable quality. Someone in RQ stuffed up and spelled Jock Gollogly’s name wrong in his […]
“Some circumstantial evidence is very strong, as when you find a trout in the milk” – Henry David Thoreau This is the full decision of the Victorian Racing Appeals Tribunal in the matter of the Emma Stewart stay. As we told you, the HRV integrity team have stuffed up. Emma might somehow get away with […]
If you ever want to see a set up race watch race 4 at Gloucester Park on Friday night. The two pronounced favourites are the 4 My Ultimate Chevron and the 5 Hoppys Way. Both are easy in the market. The horse drawn 12 Alcopony (pronounced Al Capone Eee) is heavily backed from $15 into […]
Remember Nic Me Some, the horse we told you last week that we reckoned jockey Dale Evans pulled up at Mackay? Well the same horse stepped out at the same track over the same distance today, got backed for a stack and won. Evans didn’t ride it. Funny that. Things aren’t looking real good for […]
As you can see from the official steward’s report above, the QLD stipes dismissed the protest 2nd against 1st in the 4th race at Doomben on Wednesday. They would have to be kidding wouldn’t they? The margin was a long head. The winner was the horse in the purple in the replays below, the runner-up […]
The jury in the Brittany Higgins case cannot come to an agreed decision of whether her colleague Bruce Lehrmann raped her or not. I am not surprised. The only thing that is surprising is that some of the jurors still want to convict him. How the hell could you? There is no way in the […]
As hard as it may be to believe, a punter or punters ripped a quarter of a million dollars out of the TAB and the corporate bookies yesterday in a massive plunge on a dog in a maiden at the obscure greyhound meeting at Capalaba in Queensland. Farmor Relief was the plunge dogs name. It […]
