April 2 Racing Selections
Racing tips this week will cover the April 2 meetings at Moonee Valley, Rosehill (the Golden Slipper meeting) and Oakbank.

Hyundai A-League Season Review 2010-2011
Back in July 2010 I produced a season preview for FourFourTwo Magazine on A-League team Brisbane Roar. The main theme was uncertainty going into the new season. The club were stripped of three of Australia’s brightest young talents, brought in new untested players faster than you could blink, some of the players doubted coach Ange […]
The Early Line: Round 4
No bet in the Brisbane–Penrith game.

Nicklaus v Woods – Matchplay With a Twist
In June 2009, Tiger Woods gutted out 72 holes of regulation play, an 18-hole playoff and a further two holes of sudden-death golf against Rocco Mediate on what was essentially a broken leg to capture the 2009 US Open at Torrey Pines. This was his 14th major tournament victory and brought him to within four […]
The Eve of Destruction: The 2011 NSW Election
Come Saturday afternoon, the New South Wales Labor Party will, in any real sense, cease to exist. Killed by their own arrogance, incompetence, corruption and stupidity, the good folk of New South Wales will bestow the greatest electoral carnage on a single party ever seen in Australia. Labor may never recover. In a manner so […]
