October 8th, 2014 by TJ DilferRabbitohs fans are probably still celebrating (and maybe a few of the players, too…) after their side claimed the 2014 NRL Grand Final in emphatic style to end a 43-year trophy drought and re-affirm their status as arguably the NRL’s greatest franchise. There were stars in the ranks of both of the teams contesting the final, but in the end it was thanks to a daunting defensive effort that South Sydney were able to overturn the NRL odds and claim the title they’ve been craving for so long…
And so, NRL fans have a little bit of time to recover from the exertions (and the celebrations) of the 2014 season – not to mention the players, who put everything on the line once again in pursuit of success. The 2014 season included Read the rest of this entry »

October 8th, 2014 by Pom de TurfWith the Melbourne Cup getting closer, we’re starting to see the international horses whose names will be cropping up in the Racing odds for the big race – and for a few of the races between now and November 4th, as well – touching down in Australia and, after seeing out their quarantine requirements, starting to get into the serious work of preparing for their Melbourne Spring races. But it isn’t just famous horses making their way from all over the world to our shores – each and every Melbourne Spring campaign involves serious numbers of people working away behind the scenes, and a few high-profile trainers, too.

October 3rd, 2014 by Pom de TurfThe jewel in the crown of the Melbourne Spring Racing Festival, the Melbourne Cup hardly needs any more lustre – but it’s an event that just keeps on getting bigger and bigger.

October 2nd, 2014 by Pom de TurfThis is an exciting year for the Melbourne Cup, and it could be the start of a resurgence in the fortunes of Japanese horses in the race. It has been a number of years since any sort of serious Japanese presence has been seen in The Race That Stops A Nation, but a look at the Racing odds for the Melbourne Cup and the Caulfield Cup will show you that both Bande and Admire Rakti are going to be key players in the 2014 Melbourne Spring.
And it could just be that Admire Rakti follows in the footsteps of Delta Blues, who won the 2006 Melbourne Cup with compatriot Pop Rocks in his wake. Certainly, the feeling in Japan is that these two are genuine prospects for Cup glory.
