Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
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 […]

The judge in the Bruce Lehrmann/Brittany Higgins defamation case has come to exactly the same conclusion that we told you two months age before the trial kicked off that he would.

This sounds hard to believe, but we are told that it’s true. Ash Rushton, who was appointed to the dual (and conflicting) roles of Tasmanian director of racing and general manager of the Office of Racing Integrity (ORI) on Boxing Day, has resigned just a day later. This must be an all time record in […]
It seems gone are the days when shareholders would turn up to an annual general meeting wanting to hear about a firm’s actual financial performance.
