Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Victoria Leonard in our previous story is the same person who is presently involved in a bitter stoush with Peter V’Landys over the issues of (a) whether or not she personally profited from a purportedly not for profit event, by virtue of her private company getting the paid gig to run it; and (b) whether […]
Despite the claims of The Thoroughbred Review and other breeder funded publications like The Straight, the truth is that there are only two websites or papers in this country that are truly independent racing media publications: peterprofit.com, and letsgohorseracing.com.au published by award winning sports writer John Lingard. We receive no funding from any person or entity […]

The most remarkable thing about the swab testing regimes employed by principal harness racing associations around Australia is that, with the possible exception of NSW, virtually none of them are taking hair samples from horses. I don’t know why this is the case, but not taking specimens of hair means that Stewards in every State […]
Dr Georgia Whiting PhD is a health professional, but the way she tips winners she really should be a professional punter. You can be too if you follow her expert opinions. Here is how our favorite naked tipster went on the weekend. Race 1 The Doc tipped the first four horses over the line and […]
Zac Purton reckons that if he had remained in Australia instead of going to Hong Kong to chase the gold he would today be the James McDonald of the Sydney scene. What a tosser. The closest that Z. Purton ever got to winning a Sydney Premiership was in seasons 2005/06 and 2006/07 when he ran […]
Anthropomorphism is the attribution of human characteristics or behaviour to an animal. What Rob Waterhouse is saying in posh wank language is that horses aren’t people, so stop treating them like they are when it comes to heat stress.
