Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
We declared Angus Garrard to be the next big thing in racing, an absolute superstar, years ago when he was just 16. Now in the first two rounds of ID23 the Kid has proven us right. There have been three standout drivers in this series so far: Greg Sugars, Cam Hart, and young Garrard himself. […]
Archie, you’ve raised basically the same questions I have about “poor Emma’s injustice”. Credit to her for pleading guilty, no doubt this got a discount of the two 6-month penalties being served cumulatively. But, after pleading guilty and copping a discount, she appeals the severity? As for the drips, I would have thought saline drips […]
With only a few weeks left to run Emma Stewart is a country mile in front on the Victorian State and Metro Premiership ladders, and a certainty to win both titles. But after her 6 month disqualification this week for race day treating 2 0f her runners bef0re a Group race, will she hold them? […]

Melbourne’s Toby Mitchell is probably the most famous bikie in the land, and for good reason too. He was pummelled with 8 bullets in him and survived, was shot at 30 times on another occasion and only winged, been in street fights featured on social media, is mates and business partners with AFL stars, is […]
Queensland gallops trainers are overjoyed to be finally returning to the grass at the Gold Coast, as highlighted by a massive 202 nominations for the 7 race card on the opening day of the brand new track at Aquis Park this weekend. It’s been a long haul for the trainers after such a long period […]
I’ll start by congratulating whoever at Albion Park decided that the series heats be Friday, Tuesday then Saturday and the final the following Saturday. It’s about time a good trots decision was made. Ok now for the honest truth! The depth of pacers just isn’t there. Without NZs best or at least some of them […]
The QRIC’s new ‘targeted swabbing’ regime is pure genius. Pre-race swab horses in only 4 of the 7 races at the main meeting on Sundays, and test the riders instead. Just like they did at the Sunshine Coast yesterday. You will be pleased to know that no jockey put on the bag was pissed. We […]
At the age of 12 and with a run of 16 consecutive outs the iron horse of the bush Fab’s Cowboy was fast running out of time to bring up his half century, but like the champion of the outback that he is, Billy Johnson’s great galloper finally hit the half ton at the Isa […]
I’ve lost count 0f the number of times I’ve got pissed at the races over the past 40 years, but as full as a fool that I was, I’ve never once even considered hurdling the fence and making an imbecile of myself by running across the track in the middle of a race. Not once. […]
