Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The punter who had $40 grand each way on Gringos – if he exists – didn’t quite do his arse, because it ran 2rd and he got $1.30 the place, meaning his total loss with Sportsbet was ‘only’ $28 000. The fella who had ten grand on it straight out on the TAB did. He […]
The man below is this bloke above. An Auckland man who starved his horses, to the point where they had to eat their own faeces, has been sentenced in the Auckland District Court. The man — who had over 40 years experience in the harness racing industry — was convicted of 30 offences involving 11 […]
As you can see above, the QRIC Stewards in charge of the Cairns Cup meeting yesterday were convinced that the last race on the card was the Lightning. It wasn’t. The Lightning was a 950m open class dash run as race 8. Race 10 was a Class 6 run over 1250m. They couldn’t even get […]
What on earth was jockey Adrian Layt thinking aboard Flash Aah in the Cairns Cup yesterday? He wasn’t is my guess, he just did what very average jockeys do, which is not think at all. Up until about the 500 metre mark Layt had ridden Flash perfectly. He’d planted himself on the hot fave Namazu’s […]

The government will still spend $309 million on refurbishing the Penrith Panthers’ home ground, but a wholesale rebuild on a neighbouring site has been abandoned. Instead, the Herald has confirmed the government […]
Tom Hedley has a massive stable of horses, almost all of them 2nd hand rejects from the south of varying qualities. It costs a fortune to feed them. To pay for it Uncle Tom has to pull off the occasional plunge on big race days when he can get a decent bet on. That’s usually […]
To the amazement of everyone except those like me who have been represented by the Magic Man J.E. Murdoch K.C., late last week Jason Jill Grimson got a stay of his 12 month disqualification for king hitting another participant in the Creek Bar after the Blacks a Fake. The stay lasts for a maximum of […]
Keith from QLD tried to have a 7 leg all up with the bookie Swiftbet on Friday night. The potential return was about $359. Swiftbet cut it by 2/3rds, and only let him on for $15, to win $84 and his stake back. As you can see our Keith wasn’t happy. Who could blame him? […]
There has been a sensation in the final of the National Sprint Championship at the Meadows. The champ has gone down. Postman Pat started at $1.50, and even shorter on the tote. Aussie Rocks beat him out from the pink and crossed him. The postman sat on his back. Ho ho the favourite punters thought. […]
The so called Aussie Fair Play Coalition pretended to be the voice of Australian gambling. The ‘Coalition’ claimed that foreign owned bookies were shifting a fortune of their profits outside of Australia. “Where are these going? Isle of Man?” the paid actors in their anti-every other bookie ads asked. There were three things that the […]
