What an absolute load of shit this is. Of course Tiger Band Wagon was suffering from respiratory problems after running last in its ID26 heat on Saturday night. It has just a run a lead time 2.5 seconds faster than in Dangerous’ heat, and 2.9 seconds quicker than in Leap To Fame’s. And the run […]
This Horse Was Either Badly Shod, Or Is Sore – I Reckon the Latter
There is something wrong with Fighter Command. The Vets disagree. They could find nothing wrong with the horse. I wonder if they examined the underneath of its feet? This horse was either badly shod or it was sore. The Stewards didn’t suss anything amiss either. They simply copped driver Jason Lee’s nonsense explanation that Fighter […]
Its Says Something About the State Harness Racing That Everyone Thinks This is Funny – But It’s the Sport and the QRIC They Are Laughing At You Know
I don’t know whether Regan Todd is the first one to take the piss about him “training” Hesitate, or whether he is deluded, but the rest of the world knows that Hesitate was only transferred into his name so that Luke McCarthy could drive Todd’s superstar Marketplace in the Rising Sun. The ruse didn’t quite […]
Who Said Country Racing Was Dead?
Some people bemoan the money spent on non-TAB country meetings, and claim that its a waste of money. Those who turned out for the meeting at Esk in QLD yesterday disagreed. Just take a look at the crowd. There were more people at the country race day than there were at Caulfield or Eagle Farm. […]
Keith Gives it to the 7 Mate Coverage of ID26
What a shit coverage of the trots tonight on 7 Mate. It’s like being put on hold. Surely we can do better than this with the rare TV opportunities the sport gets. What a lost opportunity. The clowns are running the circus. Keith from QLD
Who Ever Said People Don’t Bet on the Trots Anymore?
Oops I think it might have been me. If so I was wrong. Just take a look at the Betfair hold on Leap To Fame’s ID26 heat tonight. Six figures! Almost all of it either for or against Leap To Fame. Wow. That’s a pool and a half on the trots.
ID26 Night 2 – Preview and Selections Race 5-10
RACE 5 – ID26 TROTTERS ROUND 2 HEAT 2 – 2138m The withdrawal of the well fancied Susan Is Her Name from the series throws the cat among the pigeons, and leaves the former Kiwi square gaiter Lovemeto as the $1.85 favorite. If you want to take that price you are welcome, but I would […]
Hope You Took the Tip
We gave you a single tip today ourself. Cruiserweight in the 3rd at Caulfield. It bolted in. Hope you took the tip. Happy days.
Stable Switches Mid ID Series? – Only in QLD
Eligibility for Nomination 119B. Unless the Stewards otherwise approve, a horse shall not be eligible to be nominated for a race unless for a period of at least twenty eight (28) days immediately prior to the date fixed for nomination the horse has been trained by a licensed trainer and that trainer has lodged with the Controlling Body a stable return for that horse. In all my years of watching the trots – and there have been plenty of them – I have never before seen a horse switch stables mid-series in an […]
The Bullfighters Are Brilliant – But They Can’t Beat the Frogs
I’ve just watched the Spain v Belgium quarter final at the World Cup . Ole ole won, Asterix lost. But we all learned something. The bullfighters are brilliant. But they can’t beat the frogs. They don’t have the temperament. If only they were Swiss in the brain, and bullfighter in the heart and body they […]
