Five year old gelding Fieldmaster has his sights set on a Hobart Cup after a tremendous win in the traditional lead up race, The Jockey Club Cup over the 2100m at Tattersalls Park, Elwick on Sunday.   Given a perfect ride from hoop Michelle Payne, Fieldmaster got out early and hit the front and he never looked threatened as Payne steered the quality stayer home by 1.8 lengths. Talking after …

Schweppes Tasmanian Derby Day 2012 saw Rebel Bride announce herself as the new queen of Tasmanian Racing when she gritted out a fantastic win over Lady Lynette in the $150,000 Bow Mistress Trophy at Tattersalls Park Elwick on Sunday.   Ridden perfectly by champion hoop Craig Newitt, Rebel Bride got a lovely spot coming round the turn before Newitt rode for luck and got a lovely inside run along the …

Naturally the London Games are going to cost more than any previous Olympiad – prices rise, London is one of the most expensive cities in the world and Britain support the US in its military campaigns thus the countries becomes a target for terrorism etc. The original budget from bid time has been blown out of …
