Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
This is John Baker. He is said to be a supplier of EPO to horse trainers. Those in the know say he is low level. Turbo and Grimmo don’t think so. Not that I would know why. Or they would tell. Have you seen John ducking in and out of Menangle? Next time you do […]
Amanda Turnbull trains a horse called Bling The Luck. Prior to yesterday it had run around 27 times without ever winning a race. The fastest time that it had ever run in defeat was 1.59.6 three starts back at Goulburn. Goulburn is a track at least 4.6 seconds faster than Blayney, according to the track […]
It’s not easy to beat Lloyd Williams. Frank Hudson did. Good bookies never lose, or not in the long run anyway. Not on the book anyway. Cards are different story. He doesn’t know it yet, but I am taking Frank on in a quite probably weekend long game of 7 card stud starting Friday night […]
Rugby Australia (RA) is full of shit. It’s Chairman Hamish Mclennan can talk it up as much as he wants, and buy as many Joseph Sua’ali’i’s as he likes – until the money runs out anyway, a date not too far away – but the truth and the simple facts are that the code beloved […]

Copy That has been stood down from racing for 28 days after he choked down and was subsequently found to have bled in tonight’s A$500,000 Hunter Cup at Melton. But, incredibly the horse recovered quickly and trainer Ray Green is confident he can still have him ready for the $1 million The Race by Grins […]
Jack Callaghan has copped a hammering from the NZ media for his drive on Spirit of St Louis in the Hunter Cup, in particular from Barry Lichter in an article quoting Ray Green published on the Lincoln Farms website, although you’d expect that given Lincoln’s close relationship to Green and owner Merv Butterworth. Here is […]
A great trainer once told me that “once I hand over the reins, it’s out of my hands”. This was after I suggested the driver of my horse was better off with a monkey in the cart to put it politely. I actually think there was something more sinister at play outside the control of […]
Dear Archie Melton is – I believe – the only place that scopes and bans horses that bleed, without them having exhibited blood from the the nostrils as required everywhere else under the rules. If Copy That is a regular internal bleeder then his connections should have known that, which makes it pretty silly them […]
There have been seven Hunter Cups run over the current 2760m distance, which was introduced in the year 2017. Copy That was pulled out of last night’s race with about 1000m to go, meaning that he ran the lead time and the first quarter in the race. Here are the comparative times between each of […]
