Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Dear Maggie Well it was 15 days ago, but I’ve been busy. You forgot too. So we’re square. Happy Anniversary baby. I got you on my mind. Always have from the day we first locked eyes, and I always will. You present is in the mail. It’s bloody slow up here in the top end, […]
Do you remember when Ride High was the next big thing? A superstar they all said, the best horse in Australia, and maybe even the world. Yeah right. Here are the horses that Ride High beat. Idealsomemagic – 82 starts for 13 wins. Last season had 5 starts for no wins, 1 second and a […]
I don’t know what you make of race 5 at Doomben on Wednesday, but personally I am not quite sure it was on the level. The Stewards of course disagree, but that’s because they don’t do or know form. The horse in question that I reckon was off was the $1.50 favorite Nashira, trained by […]

Which means you should have been able to expect a whole lot more that he gave you in the 3rd race at Penrith on Wednesday evening. Hart was driving the $2.10 favorite My Buzz Lightning. You would almost swear he was driving it to lose. The […]

The image you see is from Trial 1 at Townsville on Monday. Isn’t that just grand? A fatality waiting to happen. Safety in racing? Sorry, I can’t hear you. And here I was thinking that the GAP program was only for the greyhounds.
“Upon further investigation it was established that the vehicle towing the barriers was in contact with an electric fence which may have been sending a small current through the metal sections of the starting stalls. “Stewards ordered club officials to rectify the issue and were satisfied to proceed with the meeting. “Upon further review of […]
