Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
No doubt frustrated in his career ambitions by the seemingly incredible survival of the stray cat with 9 lives, QLD’s chief harness racing steward David Farquharson, the highly respected QRIC stipe Neil Finnigan has accepted a life drinking from the poisoned chalice by taking up the role of Chief Steward in Tasmania. If he didn’t […]
I have been telling you since before Merlin even stepped foot on the track as a 2-year-old that this young pacer is a champion. I’m not often wrong when I make these pronunciations, and I wasn’t here. At just his 2nd start as a 3YO Merlin won the race in perhaps one of the greatest […]
Just take a look at the replay of the 4th race at the Rockhampton Greyhounds on Wednesday night, and keep your eye on 4 the the blue. Comical Travis it’s name. It’s the $2.60 favorite, and probably the biggest heart breaker that you’d ever see. Some dogs were just born to be rehomed as a […]
Just take a look at this will you? It’s a trial held on the Gold Coast polytrack on the 31st of January. Jockey Josh Adams is on the inside, rider Andrew Mallyon is on the outside. I’m not sure if Mallyon ran over Adams cat, or shagged his missus, or what, but just have a […]
Star young driver Emily Suvaljko needed two winners last night at Gloucester Park to equal Morgan Woodley’s record as the fastest driver in WA history to steer home 500 winners.

Fuck me dead. There were 12 horses in race 7 at Launceston on Sunday. Ten of them were trained by Ben Yole. One of the two that wasn’t sat out the back the whole way apparently with a bung tire. The driver of the other one Scottlyn Beach – a bloke named Malcolm Jones – […]
Winfried Engelbrecht-Bresges, the CEO of the Hong Kong Jockey Club and man that we call Winnie the Pooh, claims to be an animal welfare expert. Retirement farms for horses are not enough, and the industry needs to find other pathways following retirement, he beats his chest and proclaims. Just like the Pooh declares to anyone […]
The ‘adopted son’ of Hong Kong, Winfried Engelbrecht-Bresges, dressed in a traditional Chinese costume, practised Tai-chi at a function with the elderly. His mate Johnny must have been out the back reading Mao’s little red book on the throne. John Messara AM wouldn’t be out the back in the shadows trying to sabotage his one […]
Poor old Feathers Fowler. Age may not weary chickens, but it sure does send them blind. Who do you reckon won this photo finish? David Fowler thought the outside. Oh dear. Is it any wonder that one wonder kid caller ended up as Brisbane’s number two? Answer? Nope.
