Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Accused fraudster Darren Wilson (left) with trainer Kelly Schweida, our man Wayne Innes mate. The plot gets thicker when it comes to the pork. We told you last week that prominent porcine producer Darren Wilson, the racing identity currently facing a raft of criminal charges in relation to his alleged financial dealings, was the father-in-law […]
We have written many times about the now 4yo Kiwi pacer Marketplace, and on every occasion have told you how damn good this bloke is. Australian fans didn’t quite see it when he came over in the winter, mainly because their parochialism blinds them. Marketplace won 2 from 4 over here, and ran 2nd to […]
This was the image beamed around Australia and across the world from Globe Derby on Saturday night. Isn’t it a cracker? Let’s Talk Dirty and Just Wrecking, with both sides leaning over like drunks making their way home from the pub. That’s the image a progressive, professional principal harness racing authority wants to show off […]
Father Wayne has faith in God, the goodness of his people, and the Freo Dockers. I personally disagree with him on all three counts. The Dockers choke of the century today puts me 2 – 1 up, with the jury still out on God. “How did we lose that?” the Freo fans are all asking […]
“Medal, Medal Medal has made it three Cups in a row!” the caller at Ewan yesterday declared. It’s a shame for the callers connections that he wasn’t right. The inside won. Never mind son, David Fowler often gets it wrong too. At least you had a crack.
The online abuse directed at jockey Tyler Leslight by other racing participants, and the threats made to him, are absolutely disgraceful and totally out of order.

Story by Hugh Bohane, Cairns Local News, 25/9/2026 Jockey Tyler Leslight has spoken to Cairns Local News after receiving a series of private messages and becoming […]
Rookie trainer Luke Duggan has won his appeal against an 8-month disqualification for failing to follow a Stewards direction to hand his phone over to them. Sort of. Duggan’s disqualification has been reduced to 3 months, but the Racing Appeals Panel refused to recognise the time that he has been stood down for (approximately 3 […]
https://statements.qld.gov.au/statements/106112 QLD Racing Minister Tim Mander has announced the plan going forward for the running of the tri-code sports. The only problem is that just like the fairies in the garden story, it lacks all detail or proof. Racing QLD and the QRIC are going to be amalgamated, the Minster announced two days ago, demonstrating […]
As we have told you previously, Duke Of Bourbon is the best 2yo trotter in New Zealand, and probably Australia too, and he might even be the best of his gait up to three in either country too, he is that good. The problem however is that the Duke is a head case. He just […]
