Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Premiership winning Townsville trainers Aiden and Georgie Holt have announced that they are moving their racing operation south to Corbould Park on the Sunshine Coast at the end of the year. The partnership has provided a number of reasons for the move, including less travel, greater work-life balance, and more opportunities to work their horses […]
Story by John Lingard – letsgohorseracing.com.au THE prayers of the racing world are with the family of one of Australia’s favorite jockeys, Cyril Small, who is fighting to survive a massive stroke. Small, 67, best remembered as the rider of the legendary galloper, Vo Rogue, was rushed to Gold Coast University Hospital on Saturday. (PHOTO […]
One of the strangest stories to come out of Albion Park on Saturday night wasn’t about ID26, or even the trots at Albion Park. It was about a race at Addington back in May, the Welcome Stakes. Now I can’t see the problem with the race myself, for it just looked to be a bold […]
Here is my early view of how the first few hundred meters of the ID26 Pacing Final will unfold. This is not my summation of the race, just of the early part. Gate 1 – War Dan Buddy Buddy is drawn the pole, but is not a super quick beginner off the gate. I doubt […]
Mishani Glaze has clearly had a major problem since resuming from an 8 month spell. Before the horse went to the paddock its form was 2341. Since resuming in late April it has finished 8th of 12 at Warwick beaten 7 lengths, last at Toowoomba beaten 15 lengths, last at Gatton beaten 20 lengths, and […]
The answer is nine. That’s how many Stewards were on duty at Albion Park on Saturday night. Each and every one of them missed this. It’s Peter McMullen on Attachment that we are looking at. McMullen takes the horse from the one wide line back to the inside on the turn. He clearly goes inside […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
