Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
As regular reader will be aware it was this website who stirred the possum over the Wiremu Pinn wrong claim issue, and it was our story a few weeks ago that explained exactly how and why connections of horses beaten by one of the Kiwi kid’s mounts when ridden at the incorrect weight could protest […]
Hi Archie In reply to Syd of SA. In 1984 the Lordship stakes and Ladyship stakes were worth $10 000 in prizemoney each. In 2022 they have been reduced or dwindled to $8,000. A basket of goods and services valued at $10 000 in calendar year 1984, would in calendar year 2022 cost $34,639.46. Total […]
We are now hearing whispers from down south and across the ditch that Mr Bella Button – Kiwi trainer Mark ‘Juice’ Jones – is going to take over Jack Trainor’s barns at Menangle when Turbo takes off to Jersey after the Miracle Mile carnival. In one way it would be apt, for birds 0f a […]
Hello Arch It’s Syd from south Australia. In reply to Bill from the Barossa. I whole heartily agree with the prizemoney increases being a sleight of hand.

In mid-2022 a company named Regional Cast won a rich 6-figure contract to deliver up to the minute vision and broadcasts of every non-TAB race meeting in Queensland. Except it didn’t. A company called Parry Super Pty Ltd trading as On the Bit Racing Australia did. There are many problems with this. Here are just […]
Meet Neale Parry, the man in charge of Regional Cast. Neale is QLD’s most capable and qualified broadcaster of races at non-TAB meetings. Just ask Racing Queensland. But whatever you do, don’t ask racing people out in the bush. Not unless you are wearing ear plugs. Experience Managing Director CQ Commercial Laundry Apr 2010 – […]
Well just look at this will you? Trainer Mark ‘the Juice’ Jones has turned an absolute cat who would be in the breeding barn if only she had any breeding into New Zealand’s most winning horse of the year 2023. Bella Button. Bugger me. Millwood Nike is a superstar wh0 has won 2 Group 1’s […]
How are the boys club who are running the Auckland trots into the ground going with their circa $120 000 a week interest payments at interest rates of the cash call plus margin that keeps rising by the second? Remember just 2 years ago back in 2o21 when they were paying ANZ a vig of […]
