Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Former Group 1 winning international jockey Robbie Fradd deserves high praise for the splendid work he has been doing for junior riders since being appointed as apprentice mentor earlier this year. Fradd seems to attend every race meeting he can in South-East Queensland, and is a vocal advocate for apprentices in the Stewards room helping […]
It had been 18 starts since Tizzy Lizzie’s last win in March when she stepped out at Wagga yesterday. At her previous two starts the well tried winner of 8 races from 73 starts had sat in the death over the same track and 1780m distance and been beaten. Tizzy Lizzie’s personal times in those […]
Smoken Ace had won 8 races coming into the NR 76-89 at Geelong on Friday night, the most recent of them 13 starts back in March in an NR 70-79 race at Melton. The fastest winning time it had run in any of them was 1.55.9, also at Melton, in August last year. Last night […]
I had a good go at Captain’s Mistress to win the Group 1 Queen Of Hearts at Alexandra Park. Nathan Williamson drove a bottler. She swept up to the leader in the straight and went straight past. Captain’s Mistress was home to the world. And then with 25m to go the seat fell off. It […]
To celebrate tipping us a $10 winner as her special at Ballarat last week the Naked Tipster Dr Georgia Whiting PhD donned some traditional Euroa attire and ventured out into Dowling Forest to cast her eyes on the bodies of bookies she had slayed lying strewn all over the ground. The Doctor is very confident […]
Race 1: MATTHEW ARNOLD AND RACHAEL MCCROW MEMORIAL QTIS 3-Y-O BENCHMARK 60 HANDICAP 1400m Declaration of correct weight was delayed to allow Stewards to review the footage of the start and early stages to determine the cause of Jockey A Allen being dislodged from FAR CRY. After viewing the footage Stewards identified that near the […]
For legal reasons we are prevent from reporting on the controversy surrounding the Brisbane Racing Club’s property dealings, as reported by the ABC. So we can’t, and won’t, be writing about it. Sorry about that.
There is a lot of conjecture on social media about whether Anthony Allen, the jockey on the leader in the red and white, jumped off the horse or was thrown off. Much of the more informed speculation relates to in-play betting. We don’t have an opinion either way. Or not one that we are prepared […]
Nothing to see there. Horse ridden to take up lead. Allen looks down towards wither/pommel like the pad may have slipped back/shifted on jumping. He looks to his offside to see whether he is clear to cross down to fence. Gets a hold of horse by grabbing breast plate. Horse pricks its ears and props. […]
Bushy Beach, the $1.33 favorite in the 7th race at Tamworth yesterday, got rolled because the driver went too fast early. So fast that he ran a 25.5 second lead time, which I reckon might be close to the fastest first split that we have ever seen over 1980m there. Far too fast. The fave […]
