How Chris Waller is Breaking the Rules by Manipulating Handicap Weights – Why the Australian Turf Club Should Buy a Lie Detector – And Put Winxy on it First (First Published 15 March)
Chris Waller is the master of manipulating handicap weights. Winxy’s method is simple, and he has been doing it forever. He enters one of his top rated horses in a handicap race where it is certain to get the top weight, but in which he has no intention of running it, the purpose being to […]
MyRacehorse – The Greatest Scam Since Some Bloke Who Didn’t Own it Sold the Brooklyn Bridge Twice
MyRacehorse is a company with a deliciously ironic name, for no one who buys any of their shares in a yearling – they are actually units in a speculative investment trust, not shares – has their own horse at all, they share a unit in it with thousands of others. OurRacehorse would be a far […]

Hang On – Did Matthew Cahill Just Hook the Plunge Horse Here?
A horse named Big Arjay was the medium of a sensational plunge in the 3rd race at Cowra on Monday. He was backed from $14 into $3.30, which is a decent go in any person’s language. Big Arjay was beaten into 2nd place after being seemingly stuck on the fence behind the leaders with nowhere […]
The Lead and How to Swing It
“Amateur” – PVL stares down Alligator Al, and tells it how it is This is the rule that egotistical Allan Endrez claims that Peter V’Landys introduced just to get him. Like most things that Alligator Al says and does, it is bullshit. Here is the one that’s got him, and it’s all his fault. (9) […]
Peter V’Landys Knocks Out an Alligator With a Single Punch – And Reminds Us Why He is the Best Racing Administrator in the World
Allan Endresz is a bullshit and bluff merchant who cons and bullies race clubs and PRA’s to bend to his will and let him get his own way, whether its right or wrong. So far it has worked against the weak gutted administrators in Queensland and Victoria, who bend and scrape to him and kiss […]
