Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
There is a real curious case that the NZ Racing Integrity Board (RIB) are dealing with right now. It involved the former Commonwealth Games weightlifter turned one time jockey cum trainer Cody Cole, who quite amazingly it transpires has almost 100 horses under his care. Cole took a bunch of horses to trackwork at Matamata […]
Elon Musk is a very rich and powerful man. But I think he is making a very bad mistake by going so hard against the dead man Jeffrey Epstein, and turning it into a shot against Donald Trump. Sure they are no longer friends, and Musk has been embroiled in the Epstein shit, but he […]
Gee I wonder who is helping kick in to fund the racing website Betsy? It wouldn’t be the bookmaker Ponybet would it? Oh no, never. Not that Betsy are telling us anyway. Yeah good. Rollercoaster ride: Faves fall in big Saturday for Ponybet, but it wasn’t all smooth sailing

Irony of ironies. The week after I bag Harness Racing NSW for engaging the 50-year-old Angels to play at the Miracle Mile, Maggie and I go out to Port Douglas’ best restaurant Melaluca for dinner because neither of us can be bothered cooking.
