The Golden Triangle
TWO years ago, Ringside defied all-comers to win the 1400m Warren and Ruth Hunter Memorial Talmoi Picnic Cup, and Collarenebri trainer Kelly Smith hopes the now nine-year-old can collar the time-honoured race again on Saturday. Ringside showed he was far from a spent force when a last-start third, beaten a length, behind Connie Greig’s stablemates [...]
The Golden Triangle
ARTIST Ian Reardon has again put brush to canvas and donated another incredible masterpiece to be auctioned at Talmoi picnic races on Saturday. Mr Reardon is well-known across the district as the artist-in-residence at Terry Hie Hie, east of Moree. And he’s been busy in recent months – in between other projects – creating magnificent [...]
G4 Rugby League
MOREE Boars piled on the second-half points against Wee Waa Panthers in the Group 4 first-grade rugby league competition at Boughton Oval on Sunday – but the Panthers showed plenty of grit and determination after fielding just 12 players for the entire game. The Boars ran out winners 64-24, but the scoreboard belied the Panthers’ [...]

MOREE Boars ladies tackle team remain unbeaten in the 2025 Group 4 rugby league competition after running in 11 tries against Wee Waa Panthers at Boughton Oval on Sunday.

The Golden Triangle
TWELVE months ago, Arthur Pollock won the 1200m class 3 handicap at Mallawa on tough old gelding Pahang for Dubbo trainer Connie Greig – the first leg of a winning double for the Scone jockey. This year, he again teamed up with Pahang and Greig to win the 1400m B&W Rural Titan Ag Mallawa Cup, [...]
The Golden Triangle
INVERELL trainer Wayne Oakenfull had a day of highs and lows at Mallawa on Saturday. At the bottom end of the scale was race favourite Shut Eye’s disappointing effort in the Mallawa Cup when second-last behind Pahang, but at the high end was lightly-raced mare Ellati’s powerful win in the 1000m Irritek Class 2 Handicap. [...]
The Golden Triangle
NARROMINE jockey Ricky Blewitt is back to his best, and he proved that on Saturday with a winning treble at Mallawa picnic races – round two of bush racing’s Golden Triangle. Blewitt resumed at the recent Moree picnics after a six-month injury-enforced lay-off and managed a couple of placings, but soon found the winning post [...]
The Golden Triangle
SCONE jockey Eloise Drews is making a name for herself as a cups’ queen on bush racing’s Golden Triangle. Last year, she became the first female claiming jockey in nearly 20 years to annex the Talmoi Cup-Talmoi Bracelet double at Garah. Drews won the Helen Boland Memorial Bracelet on Sparks and the Warren and Ruth [...]
The Golden Triangle
INVERELL trainer Ridge Wilson knows his way around the Mallawa racetrack. Wilson was a picnic jockey in a former life, and rode Emvepee for John McLachlan into fourth spot behind Peter Sinclair’s Track Flash in the 2018 Mallawa Cup. In 2019, he again filled fourth spot, this time on Selaw for Leon Cross, and again [...]
