Despite the terms of the agreement permitting Medina Spirit to race, the latest doping controversy involving Baffert remained a messy one for the sport. Baffert, 68, owns a record seven Kentucky Derby titles, following Medina Spirit’s upset win as a...

I tuned into the Geelong Cup today I must be a purist/traditionalist for when I saw Bet 365 engraved on the Cup, I was horrified No doubt I would be happy to accept it as a winning owner however :p

It is just your average $27k per race gallops meet at Ararat tomorrow/Friday (apart from one $75k race) and the greedy toffs of Ararat (there's an oxymoron for you) have 'packaged' the verandah to now cost $50 a plastic chair May the committee...
