Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Want to see a future Group 1 horse? Here it is at just its third start. Confucious Flyer is its name. It is a dead set freak, the next Special or Redelva, or some sprinter like that. I wouldn’t put The Everest beyond it. The 1000m track record at Morphettville has stood for 20 years,. […]
Are you allowed to, or are you not? It’s a bit each way, which creates shades of grey, and make you wonder whether what went on at the Call of the Card was legit. Given that JP McManus is worth more than $2 billion, and can afford the best staff, you would imagine that he […]
Good on the Redcliffe Harness Racing Club for naming a room after the recently departed and much missed race day trot photographer Dan Costello. I didn’t personally know the man, but I am told he was a very decent bloke, and I am the first to say that he was a great servant to the […]
Paul Gallen is well known as one of the most money hungry punters in the world of sport. Which is what brought Gallen back to the ring at the age of 45 the other night to take on the mad arsed, much younger giant Nelson Asofa-Solomona. Gal was dash, dash chasing the cash. The bloke […]
On the strength of last night’s performance the $1.5 million The Eureka is over before it even begins. Loucasso’s trainer/driver Super Seaton Grima didn’t really even have to try last night, but he won his tune up run on his ear. What is Super going to do to the opposition when he puts his foot […]
Replay says it all… Tim from Taree Have a look at Globe Derby race one. Gaita should get life for that drive, Regards Albert from Alta Downs Tell me how they both don’t get life. Race 1 Globe Derby. That’s a fucking disgrace. Aren’t the Pullicino’s suddenly flying. They have clearly had a delivery run. […]
You hear a great many things about the seeming minnow turned mammoth bookmaker Swiftbet, mainly that the outfit’s front person Natalie Hinkley owns only a very tiny slice. If the ASIC records are correct, I find that quite hard to believe. The company register shows that the Card of the Call of the Card last […]
Why does anyone in Victoria or beyond even bother taking on Emma Stewart? She is just far too good for them all south of the Murray River, and to a large extent above it too. Emma is training winners at 45.5% this season. It’s unheard of, until now. She wins everything that lies in her […]
There were five races on the card at Moranbah in the mining belt of Central QLD yesterday. For one reason or the other only three of them were run. Trainer Lachie Manzelmann turned out 10 0f the 16 starters. But he only won one. If the meeting had held up he would have produced 16 […]
It’s a long way to go from Cairns to Cooktown to pick up $270 in percentages, but Bo Bo Bodine, formerly the greatest trainer we’ve ever seen, did yesterday. Mr Bailey took 3 runners to the dog forsaken joint where Captain Cook holed up for months to repair the Endeavour after running it onto a […]
