This week, he wrote to the Winning Post correcting some "mistakes" in correspondence sent to country newspapers by Big Bob Hullsy.

 

Read his letter IN FULL here.

 

This is why John Daffy should be on the RVL Board.

Happy Birthday, All Rounder

 

Twelve months of giving you winners. If you'd backed all of the All Rounder's tips in the last year, you would be someway towards collecting the $90 million you missed out on, on Tuesday. Someway.

Queensland Cup or Weak Midweeker?

The new Winning Post website gets the Mailman's Stamp of Approval this week.

 

Obviously a lot of work put in by a hard working bunch of horse racing enthusiasts. Congratulations, even if Peter Sweeney still has that ban on my letters. There are some things that even you can't kill, Mr Burns.
