Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Victorian trot trainer Naomi Kerr and driver Jack Laugher had a spectacular fallout last year involving Kerr’s partner David Vozlic, which saw the latter warned off for eight months after Vozlic childishly took offence to an equally juvenile Facebook emoji comment Laugher made on Facebook, and then went to the drivers room and assaulted and […]
So are our politicians. Unlike those in most of Australia they are actually cool. Or Councilor Michael Joseph Rees is anyway. He actually apologized to me the other day that the beach was closed when he was a lifeguard and I went down for a swim. It wasn’t Michael’s fault, it was the stingers, but […]
Ben Dorries calls the demise of the human rights violater funded World Jockey Series a win for the naysayers, cynics, and fault finders. In other words Dorries is saying the series was a good thing for racing, and those who didn’t support it are shunts. Go and tell the 57 low paid Bangladeshi workers […]
Does anyone really believe that J-Mac was trying on the favorite Samarelle in the 4th at Warwick Farm today? If so I suggest that you book yourself in for a psychological test. The winner was backed from near double figures into $3.70. It is easy to see why. This was a boatie. A sit and […]

Tarrant posted this after I wrote a story a few months back imploring his ‘friends’ to help get him off the gear. I’ve known plenty of glass pipe jockeys in my time, and understand how the chemical crap snaps their synapses and f**ks their brain, so I didn’t take it personally. Even if I had, […]
When you can. How hard is it to prepare a sand dog track properly? Especially on a long established course. Rockhampton’s failure to do so is a disgrace. If they don’t lift their act the Rocky club’s license is surely in danger. This just ain’t good enough. At all.
Pioneer drugs, generics, and compounded medications each play a role in equine care. Understanding how these drug categories are regulated can give horse owners greater confidence in the safety, efficacy, and reliability of the medications their veterinarian prescribes. Pioneer Drugs: The Path to FDA Approval Pioneer drugs are the original, FDA-approved animal health products brought to […]
You all know my opinion of the city of Rockhampton in general. This just confirms it. Licensed race clubs have an obligation to make sure their tracks are suitable to race on. The dog club in Rocky didn’t meet that obligation. How ordinary is this? It is just not good enough. Shame, shame, shame.
