Australia is the only country in the world to have a public holiday for a horse race. We are known for loving a flutter.
The Brisbane winter racing carnival has come in for plenty of criticism in recent times, and not unjustifiably so.
Self-interest will be the death of horse racing in Australia.
It’s 3am on Monday and Tiger Woods is vying for the lead in The Masters.
Day 1 of The Championships was a roaring success, with some outstanding performances and great racing.
While all eyes will turn to Winx at Randwick on Saturday, it’s quite obvious that betting on the great mare is hardly going to make you rich.
Royal Randwick will be chockers and millions will be watching live on television, all set to farewell the mighty mare Winx.
A huge Saturday of racing awaits on day one of The Championships.
The Championships has rejuvenated what had become a tired racing scene in New South Wales, and all involved are to be applauded.
The All Aged Stakes program at Randwick on Saturday certainly has the feel of the Zipping Classic meeting at Sandown in November. Everyone knows that the party is just about over, but a few stragglers are hanging on, desperate to keep the embers alight.
Racing fans never saw the mighty Winx at her best. Not by a mile.
After nailing the quaddie last week I will be looking to back it up this Saturday with day two of The Championships coming to us from Randwick – and what a days racing we have in front of us!
My tipping has been a bit off in recent times, but I am going to stick to my guns and assert with confidence that a female horse will win at least one of the major races on Saturday.
Trainer John Sargent sat down with The Roar to reflect on his involvement in the Melbourne Cup over the years including when he came sixth in 2015 with ‘Gust of Wind.’ She remains the last horse to beat Winx.
It’s the race we’ve always wanted to see.
David Chillery got divorced in 1998, but it turns out he is only just “celebrating” it now by sponsoring a race at Newton Abbot in the U.K.
The Lion Dancer needed a tamer at Towcester racecourse in England.
This weekend, Australian racing will lose one of its best thoroughbreds of all time to retirement.
