Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Do you remember the stories we wrote about how the Canadian blow in Greg Gangle, who thanks to the influence of HRNSW CEO John Dumesny was appointed last year to the CEO job at the Wagga Trots (something to rally write home to Mom about), decided to target a poor little trot loving lady named […]
I have always wanted a pair of Birkenstocks, just so I can match them with a pair if socks and wear them with my short safari suit. They’re a bit bloody expensive though. Typical Germans. Wanna sell you everything at overs, including thongs. So bugger them I thought, and jumped online looking for 2nd hand […]
Flashy Seb is the $1.60 favourite in race 1 at Menangle. If it steps clean and trots throughout it probably wins. Probably, but nowhere near certainly. But if gallops at the start it’s gone. I reckon it is likely to, and the odds are evens at worst, and more likely 6-4 that it will happen. […]
The former chief executive officer of TasRacing resigned for “personal reasons” just two months after a workplace culture review delivered a scathing assessment of the organisation’s senior leaders. Now, he is running the national peak body for racing in Australia. Paul Eriksson, who was appointed as CEO of TasRacing in 2019, resigned in June despite extending his contract with […]
There are rumours floating around all over town that jockey Michael Poy might be running a side hustle involving laundries and dirty cash. We are in no place to say whether or not these whispers are true, or to make comment on them at all. All that we can say is that if you rode […]

I received this message from some idiot real estate agent last night. Here is my response. It’s lucky my married name wasn’t Meanttobecutdown. Just one question. Where the hell is Kippax? Hi Jill. Sure. I have changed my surname due to getting married. It is now Green. Please update your records.
We have this morning sent this request for information to the Chairman of the Marlborough Harness Racing Club in New Zealand. The issues relate to substantial seven-figure sum gaming machine grants made to the club at a time when it only raced twice per year. For the avoidance of any doubt, no allegations of impropriety […]
If you grew up in Brisbane in the 70’s and 80’s and played footy – rugby league – you knew all about Bishop Park and the tricks the Norths Devils club got up to. You also knew that if you pulled some of your own the old Norths Ladies in the stand on the eastern […]
IN the next few hours the Tasmanian Govt – via TasRacing – are going to release a report into certain matters that occurred under former CEO Paul Eriksson’s watch. Eriksson of course is the man who walked out of Tassie under an unreported (by anyone but us) cloud, and waltzed straight into the job of […]
