#Punt Drunk

It's the last day of summer, which means that the autumn is just one sleep away. South-East Queensland tracks continue to get hammered by rain and floodwater, a clash of the titans beckons down in Victoria, while seven years on from'the other Weir runner', we get stung by'the other Waller runner'. It's never good to see natural disasters take…

The Melbourne Cup Carnival is set to come to an end on Saturday and what a week it has been! From countless losing betting tickets, to more mystery trifecta's than you could count, some of still missed out on backing Gold Trip in his emphatic Melbourne Cup victory. However, today's Punt Drunk goes a little bit off broadway as we head to Pakenham's…

While it feels like longer, Group 1 racing will return on Saturday when the Railway Stakes gets underway at Ascot Racecourse. For many, it is front of mind as we look to build on our Christmas shopping fund with Willie Pike and the chaps over in WA. The Punt Drunk team will also take a look at where the Darren Weir situation stands a couple of…

A few punters that were keen on the nation's…

The action is starting to heat up on the track and the action off the track is just as interesting!

This includes Hong Kong-based Zac Purton taking aim at James McDonald and his bank account, a managing owner with a live chance in the Coolmore…

It was far from an eventful weekend, if we are completely honest - some good horses were back, some nice runs were made and seemingly most punters got their hard-earned back after a horror weekend the week before, but in terms of what we like to cover here at Punt Drunk, not much stood out. In Melbourne, Jye McNeil rode five winners including a…

Who doesn't love a long weekend? If you are lucky enough to live in Victoria you are in the midst of a four-day long weekend filled with plenty of footy, punting and hopefully a couple of coldies along the way! However, the Punt Drunk team doesn't rest and ahead of three Group 1 races this weekend, we take a look back at what has caught our eye…

Spring is well and truly in the air and the fields for the weekend of racing has us raring to go for a big weekend on the punt. Throw in the AFL & NRL Finals, a few coldies and it is a genuinely elite weekend coming up. On Friday's edition of Punt Drunk, we look back at one of the all-time clashes in the George Main Stakes, before current day…
