Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Profit: And Pigs Fly The undisputed heavyweight clown prince has been at it again this week. I speak of course of Jason Bonnington, the man who when he is not falling off horses, kicking his bet homes like a demented loon, justifying juxtapositions and critical correlations in his near unintelligible rambling column on thetrots.com has […]
I haven’t had the opportunity to read the Auckland Trotting Club (ATC) annual report as yet, mainly because I haven’t got a copy to read. So I will suspend all doubt about the veracity to the media reports until such as time as I get one, but in the interim may I ask the following: […]
See the bikeway next to the track that Peter Bain built? The Stuart O’Grady Cycleway. O’Grady was a self professed EPO cheat. The cycleway is currently closed. Life imitates art.
The mail is that J-Mac and his form people have identified our boy Sharp N Smart as the pea for the Victoria Derby. Sources close to the Mac tell us that his agent approached trainer G. ‘Rogie’ Rogerson for the ride this week after learning that J.H. Bowman was staying in Sydney to ride in […]

This is that Noah Rose bloke I told you about a few months ago. The worm who happily accepts bet for the more than his so claimed payout limit, but won’t pay them. We knocked him over for $17 grand that was due and owing. It looks like Racing Victoria have given him a boot […]
This is not good, for either horse or rider. The horse is dead. Gossiping Girl was her name. The Official Stewards Report says that she had a heart attack on the home turn, and was found by the vet to be dead on arrival. I am not quite sure where she was arriving, or how […]
Can anyone tell me how Adam Sanderson – who was 3 back the fence in the white with maroon – could have safely moved from the rail into the moving line? Sure he could have pushed out, but is that something that was in the best interests of the driver outside him? I doubt it. […]
Seven hundred and eighty-eight Standardbred pacers competing in 8378 races at one racetrack were analysed to determine the effects of the administration of prerace frusemide on racing times (RT). Frusemide was administered i.v. 4 h before the race to pacers diagnosed with exercise-induced pulmonary haemorrhage (EIPH). Of the pacers, starting in the 1997 racing season, […]
