From the Horse's Mouth
Previews, wraps and features — every number from our own results, every P&L printed.
The Ledger Bled Less, the Roughie Paid, and I’m Calling That a Moral Victory
We finished down $68.94 for the week, which in punter land is basically the difference between a tough pill to swallow and a “righto, I can live with that” shrug into the bar mat.
The Bankroll Got Mugged, But At Least Frank Express Showed Up
Sky Racing Queensland Derby at Eagle Farm — 2400m
The Quaddie Missed by a Nostril and My Account Missed by a Mile
I laced up 1,581 bets, found 303 winners, and still managed to hand the racing gods $680.43 like a bloke feeding chips to seagulls at Bondi.
The Quaddie Had My Lunch and Still Wanted Dessert
Doomben 10,000 at Doomben (2026-05-16) — 1200m Now we’re talking proper carnival meat. The field is locked, the big names are in, and the whole thing looks like a tempo war waiting to happen.
The Quaddie Missed by a Nostril and the Wallet Went With It
The Sportsbet Goodwood at Morphettville (2026-05-09) — 1200m This is a proper Group 1 cavalry charge and Morphettville is not the place to be daydreaming from the car park.
Backing the Fence, Getting Smacked by the Quaddie
The bank took a proper hiding, the Quaddie went missing by a nostril again, and somehow the week’s best result was the glorious, spiritually enriching act of not betting at Pakenham R6.
Blowing the Bank, Finding the Value, and Still Acting Like We’ve Got a Plan
We pushed through 1,570 bets for the week and somehow still managed to leave a few dollars on the table instead of torching the whole joint, which I’m treating as character development.
The Place Bank Copped a Shoeing and the Roughies Got Loud
Oceana Dream at Caulfield R10 popped up at $29.00 and made a few mugs look clever, even if it didn’t exactly turn into a bank-buster.
The Week the Quaddie Bit Us Back
The week’s best moment was probably the kind of move that makes sensible people roll their eyes and sickos grin: not getting involved in a rotten setup at Hamilton Race 3 and letting the bookie keep…
The Week the Tote Took a Left Hook
Roughie of the Week: Fine Vintage at Warwick Farm R5 — $24.00. That was a proper old-school roughie job, the sort that has the form students spilling their schooners.
