Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Ciaron Maher knows how to play the handicapping system for maximum benefit. All the top trainers do. Which makes me wonder whether Gold Trip is only in the Cup to avoid the compression of weights, and leave his other four – Grand Promenade (53kg), Smokin’ Romans (51.5kg), High Emocean (50kg) and Interpretation (50kg)- way down […]
“I’ve got plans in place to expand my racing interests into Brisbane throughout the course of 2019, and have a number of private clients keen to expand into Queensland. “The recent increase in prize money levels has been great for Queensland and we will be trying to get some nice QTIS yearlings in the upcoming […]
Have a look at this race will you. In particular have a close look at the drive on the horse 3 back the fence in the black. Watch it closely over the last 100m, and keep one eye fixed firmly on the driver Rodney Laker. Why did Lakey do that? There can only be one […]
Matt Tripp should have the Edge Hill kid running his book. He knows how to count. The hot word from out sources down south inside Sportsbet is that the floundering and flailing BetR CEO Matthew Tripp has stuffed up big time with his $101 odds Melbourne Cup promo, and is under huge pressure from his […]

Last night at Hobart the State’s leading trainer Ben Yole had 37 runners across 5 races on the 10 race card. He won just one of them, in a race in which he had 9 of the 12 starters. Ben Yole is a brilliant trainer they say. Some people say Elvis is still alive and […]
The Monday between Derby Day and the Cup is always super slow, and somewhat boring. You can liven it up and build your bank betting on the Kaikoura trots. For those of you unfamiliar with the place, Kaikoura is in the South Island of NZ, north of Christchurch, and it is the most beautiful trot […]
Queenslanders of a certain age will well remember the Iwasaki Resort at Yeppoon, mainly due to Mr Iwasaki paying Joh Bjelke-Peterson bribes to get it off the ground, and because environmental activists who opposed the building of it in the 1980’s burnt it down. The CQ Stewards seem determined to pay tribute to Mr Iwasaki […]
The car you see here was driven by Kyle Maskiell, a former Tasmanian jockey turned trainer. He drove through this unsuspecting person’s fence the Saturday before last. Word is that the police came he crashed the vehicle and both drug and alcohol tested him. They say he tested positive to both, and now faces police […]
In the past 14 days, Emma Stewart trained horses have competed in 38 pacing races in Victoria. Stewart has won 27 of these 38 races. Her winning strike rate is a barely believable 71.1%. During this two week period the Stewart stable has won $445 310 from these pacing races alone. She has won every […]
