Co-Founder of The Mock Sports Head of Horse Racing Love to throw a punting tip out or three, as well as telling my opinion on sports to anybody who will listen!

All right, legends, this will be the first of many Saturday rundowns here by yours truly, as each week I will run down the metropolitan Sydney horse racing meet race-by-race/ This weekend we head to Rosehill gardens, my local track, so hopefully, I am able to snag a few winners to kick off the first Saturday of the year. Track Report: The weather is currently forecast for rain, so I have done my form for a track in the Soft Range and at the time of writing, the track is rated Soft 7. The rail is in the true position…

Cristiano Ronaldo has officially signed a deal worth $305 Million Australian to play for Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr. Yep, he is making almost a grand a minute, yes, it is ridiculous, but that is just how much money is in world football at the moment.

Either way, it is up there with the most expensive transactions in footballing history, but it wasn’t even a…

His debut was quite eye-catching considering he was forward, perhaps a little too forward and managed to ride out all the way to the line without fading more than…

That is 6 Metro Saturday wins in the space of 7 days, an accomplishment that many can’t even claim to have achieved, but Lloyd can. He currently sits 3rd on the Sydney Jockey Premiership…

In Sports, a jersey can make or break a team’s identity. An ugly jersey can make a sporting club look silly, unintimidating and unprofessional. But a genuinely good-looking jersey can both capture the attention of fans everywhere and bring in plenty of money from merchandise sales. After all, in most sports, clubs are all run like a business and their uniform is a key part of their branding and the AFL is no different. The last AFL season was filled with iconic jerseys such as the GWS ‘Never Surrender’ jersey that the entire competition went crazy over, as well as…
