Last year’s Ultimate Drivers Championship (UDC) at Albion Park was the bomb, because many of the world’s best reinsmen were there, specifically Dexter Dunn, Yannick Gingras and Bjorn Goop. Everyone was talking about it. It had a real buzz. This year’s UDC doesn’t. The best drivers from each major state are there. Pete McMullen from […]

Will the Brisbane Racing Club allow him to keep his place in the much sought after infield stables at Eagle Farm? After all it wasn’t all that long ago that they knocked multiple Group 1 trainer Danny Bougoure […]

Here is a weird one, if it’s true. We are told that at least two NSW trainers horses have returned positive swabs to arsenic after their horses had been locked in the Menangle retention barn for 2 days before a Group 1 race. One of the swabs – Kevin Pizzuto’s – was made public in […]
