Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
What a wonderful gesture of mate ship and respect is by Will Hulbert to train his sadly lost mate’s horses for free and give the prizemoney to his widow and kids. I didn’t know the bloke, but it sounds like the thing Dave Garrett’s would have done. Praise doesn’t get any bigger than that. My […]
Apologies to readers for the absence of any stories yesterday and today. The author has been otherwise occupied assisting two different licensees that he been asked agreed to represent preparing documentation for appeal matters being heard this week, one in Melbourne and one in Brisbane. Whilst we appreciate the disappointment this may cause, the simple […]
This year’s shaping as one of the most even competitions in modern NRL history, with the salary cap finally starting to kick in and work. Dolphins are easy beats who will be lucky to win a game. They will get beaten by 60 in some. Warriors should forfeit all their away games and put the […]
Here are three different perspectives on the King of the Mountain at Toowoomba. The first two are from readers. The last is my own. Isn’t it wonderful that we live in a democracy? We truly are the lucky country. You are spot on, King Of The Mountain was a belated Christmas gift to the local […]

Are the Sydney stewards stupid or something? How could they possibly be sure that Nash Rawiller and Reece Jones didn’t use their mobile phones in the jockeys room unless they seized them and had them forensically examined? Anyone can delete their calls and then show the stipes a blank call list on their phone. It’s […]
Nathan Weightman was once a very talented harness racing driver. Then he got involved with drugs, and it all fell apart, as it always does in the end. Don’t get me wrong, I am not anti-drugs per se. In fact I like them. But that is at the lower end user level, where they worst […]
I don’t think Michael Cahill has had a 3kg claim since he was 17. That was forty years ago. Tabcorp disagree. They are always right. Just look at their balance sheet.
You have never seen a Group 1 win in your life like that of the Emma Stewart trained The Lost Storm in the final of Group 1 Vicbred Super Series at Melton last night. Everyone used to think that the Mark Purdon trained Akuta’s 10 length win in the Group 1 two-year-old Harness Jewels at […]
