A Tale of Three Sales – Told in Pictures – Part 4
Ain’t That the Truth Two Bob? – Quid Est Veritas
The media story you see at the top was authored by some master of history at the Two Bob Rob (Marshall) led Club Menangle. You would hope that Two Bob taught Latin at the Kambala girl’s school better than whoever wrote this knows their harness racing history. Nathan Turnbull was aged 32 in 2015, which […]
Gee Trot People are a Charitable Bunch Aren’t We? – Live Observations On the Nutrien Standardbred Sale
I’m watching the Nutrien Sydney sales on webcast, because isn’t that what every Australian does on a Sunday? It’s a bit like watching the Bathurst car race. Goes forever, and you get about 3 exciting bits. They haven’t come yet. The sale has been shit. Low prices, big pass in rate. The auctioneers have been […]
Three Lucky Jockeys, and the Unluckiest Punter in the Land
I woke up this morning still feeling sick about the five leg multi I lost yesterday in the last Sydney when Tycoon Evie got robbed on a certain win by Zac Lloyd’s mount Jump The Broom went sideways and cleaned her up just as she was about to surge to the lead at the 50m […]
An Ugly Beat

Where is Your Champ Now Adman?

Emma and Clayton – who by the way slip me the occasional for spruiking them – are the future of the sport. Not a bad word may be […]
Why Did You Ride The Winner So Well Son?
Why on earth would the NSW Stewards want to question Zac Lloyd about his steer on the winner Luvoir, when it was one of the greatest front running rides you’d ever see? The horse has always had huge ability, but has been ridden wrongly from behind for 2 years. Young Lloyd – or probably his […]
Archie’s an Idiot – Just Ask the Experts
Ha ha ha, ho ho ho; Archie’s tips, are the go. I’ve been Ravished by experts, doused with Spirits by sanity challenged chicos, Honolua’d by halfwits, and a whole lot more this week. Two to the Valley to them all. I caught a wave. They all drowned. Oh well. There’s a new mug born every […]
Everybody’s Surfing – Surfing Arch-S-A!
A pretty girl asked me for my Menangle trot tips tonight. So I gave them to her. Sorry that I got so busy that I forgot to give them to you. There are 3 more races to go. Here are our results so far. Actually, look them up yourself. Note the trifecta in race 6. […]
