Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
There was a protest 1st v 2nd in the last at Townsville yesterday. The side view is above. Head on below. The margin was SFA. I thought the interference was clear, and I would have upheld it. The Stewards disagreed. Protest dismissed. You be the judge.
Betting pre-post with the TAB is a very dangerous game. Unders are almost every bets middle name. Here below are the prices on the TAB that Racenet was spruiking in the lead up to the race. Value extraordinaire they were. Not. The TAB early prices are in bold. The SP is next to it. Yeah […]
When you think about it Baldy looks a bit like the horse is he is scoping out for Zjelko. They both have a similar sort of white nose. It’s probably the ice cream. Professional punter David ‘Baldy’ Frolley has become the most loved character ever written about on this website. Every where he goes to […]
It was a big day out at Alpha yesterday, with thousands of keen bush racegoers shelling out the hundred to get through the gates, and then later partying into the night. A great time is said to have been had by all. Congratulations to the club committee and all the volunteers and staff who made […]
No Notthebuttons was a very well-placed Emma Stewart trained youngster who won 9 races, none of them in particularly notable grade. After finishing third in a no-name race at Melton, he disappeared for a few months before re-emerging in the stable of Darren Elder. Elder couldn’t get him to go at all. Nine starts for […]
You’d have to go a long way to see a better front running ride than the winning one of Stacey Callow on Muschialli at the Gold Coast yesterday. The King’s daughter – does that make her a princess? – rode the perfect race. Magic it was. You could show Stacey Callow’s steer at apprentice school. […]
Random human sampling? WTF? Which riders did they eat? Do you reckon they tasted good? Most of them would be a bit like quail in my opinion, and the ones who aren’t would taste like old leather. Not that there is anything wrong with that. I wouldn’t want a sample of one of them though. […]
Wanna see a great drive? An absolute masterclass? Then look no further than Luke McCarthy’s winning drive on Steno at Albion Park tonight. It was sheer perfection, and in quite unexpected circumstances too. Drivers steer. Maestro’s adapt and perfect. Luke McCarthy is the leader of the orchesta. Just have a look and see. https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/qld/APM27062608.mp4
Mr Butterfly In a follow up to the Alpha story, I had a giggle at the bookies response. First of all I wonder how many of those trainers, owners, bookies and, jockeys who stood up and defended the meeting’s entry price actually had to part with $100 to get into the track? Scribe will tell […]
Gee wasn’t Marketplace impressive winning at Albion Park tonight? The 4YO Kiwi was racing against horses who will next month be lining up in the heats of ID26, and he treated them with contempt. The time wasn’t anything flash, but he ran home in 26.5 and Luke never cranked him up from 3rd gear. As […]
