Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
How can a track that has had multi-millions spent to reconstruct possibly be as bad as Ipswich? It simply defies belief. This short clip is from the Stewards vision of a race on Wednesday. They are throwing up clods like they do a heavy. No-one has come out between races to plug the surface. The […]
Well things are crook in Tullarook, or out Hughenden way at least. It’s pissing down out west. The Oak Park track’s a wreck. This year’s races are off. But there is good news. Well sort of anyway. The bras are still on. Well they were until the kids went home from the ball. Muddy hell. […]

We thought we’d share a couple of the more thought provoking views ————————————– G’day Archie The RIB report into Cam Jones being […]
The decision in the RIB case of Cam Jones and the needle has been handed down, and the bum has been disqualified for 21 months. Without giving too much away, that is the least of his troubles right now. Good bye for the moment and good riddance. The Canary – Andrew Fitzgerald – has been […]
Everyone I know with an interest the trots is talking about this Saturday’s Queensland Sun, the incredibly unimaginatively named local trained only qualifier for next week’s $315 000 Group 1 race for three and four-year olds the Rising Sun, and with good reason too, for it is one of the most intriguing races that you […]
Alligator Blood is by a NSW sire, out of a NSW mare. He was born and bred in NSW. His trainers are from NSW, and so was his one before. The horse’s owner is from NSW. His jockey is from NSW. Forget all that irrelevant fact stuff though. He’s as Queensland as XXXX beer. Which […]
