Wags are suggesting trainer Tony Vasil lose some weight and return to being a jockey. They say it's the only way he will have his horses ridden the way he wants. Vasil copped a $500 fine for a heated confrontation with Jim Cassidy after Psychologist's defeat in the Magic Night at Rosehill on Mar 27. Stewards found nothing wrong with JC's ride. They reckon Psychologist just over-raced. Thursday's hearing was something of a spectacle with JC and TV exchanging barbs. The trainer branded JC a 'liar'
Wags are suggesting trainer Tony Vasil lose some weight and return to being a jockey. They say it's the only way he will have his horses ridden the way he wants. Vasil copped a $500 fine for a heated confrontation with Jim Cassidy after Psychologist's defeat in the Magic Night at Rosehill on Mar 27. Stewards found nothing wrong with JC's ride. They reckon Psychologist just over-raced. Thursday's hearing was something of a spectacle with JC and TV exchanging barbs. The trainer branded JC a 'liar' and he replied: 'Don't be a dickhead Tony, you've been telling the media how great a trainer and jockey you are, so what about using some common sense.' Don't you just love racing and its colorful characters...
It's a bottler...David Hayes reckons Sat's $1.3 million AJC Derby has all of the hallmarks of being a vintage Grp 1 classic. Not for decades, he says, has such a high class field of in-form 3YOs clashed in the Derby. He adds: 'It's as competitive Derby as you'll get, and it could be one of the best.' DH's runner Extra Zero is a $35.00 chance. Latest Derby market:
