Horse Misses Start 10 Lengths and Wins – in the Slowest Sectionals in Living Memory
How often do you see a horse miss the start by about 12 lengths and still get up and win? Not very often is the answer. But you did today in the 6th at Toowoomba. In Your Element stayed in the gates at the start, and was tailed out behind them. He stayed back there […]
Kyal Costello is Victorian Harness racing driver. In the space of 4 months he placed bets in 24 races in which he was competing. Let’s just hope that he backed his own horses. If he didn’t, then Mr Cosello would be well advised to find himself a new hobby. We won’t be seeing him at […]
The Greatest Trainer Who Ever Lived (Outside of Menangle or Woodend Beach) – Who Does This Remind You Of?
Jeff Gural owns and operated the world famous Meadowlands Paceway. He is the man responsible for driving the FBI to investigate drug cheating in racing. As we all know, they have had a huge amount of success, and many of dopers and dope sellers who defraud their colleagues, the punters, and the sport are now […]
You Can Learn a Lot About Drugs in Racing From History – The Vet, the Vet – It’s Always the Vet
The core principles of horse doping are like the wheel. They never change, and there is no need to reinvent them. The only thing you gotta do is tweak the solution to evade racing’s testing regimes. That, and to make sure that you don’t gab on the phone. This is further testimony from the 2012 […]
A Neville Playingfield? – Not When You’re Trained at Woodend Beach – The Guru Strikes Again
We passed on the Guru from NZ’s tip to you last night, and lo and behold it landed the chocolates. This man is a genius. Khal Drogo had finished 2nd last, last, last and 2nd last at it’s previous five starts before today. It’s average beaten margin across all five was more than 12 lengths. […]
Shut Up Mick, You Are Talking Crap – And Mr T. Akers, You are Talking Even More
“It’s $9000, race clubs keep punishing owners so that’s what it will be,” Price said. “All they do is punish owners, I know it is a revenue raiser for them, but it makes you wonder what horses don’t nominate because they missed the early nomination. There have been nomination deadlines for big races in Australia since […]
The Victorian Jockeys Association is Off It’s Head
Look at the crude drawing I did above of two race tracks built inside each other. Do they look the same size? Of course not. You can’t build an oval circuit inside an oval circuit and not expect it to be smaller. That’s just stupid. Caulfield is 2080m around from post to post, and has […]
The Guru Sends us the Bet of the Day – Khal Drago – Addington Trots Race 5 No 1 – Get On
NZ’s leading trot tipster Neville Playingfield has developed a near fool proof system for backing winners at the Kiwi trots, and it’s devilishly simple in it’s form and execution. Neville simply backs the horse that has been transferred from its usual stable to a barn in the drug riven world of Wooden Beach, where a […]
No Tree Hill, Just a Cross For the Croon Era Cabal to Bear – the $700 Million Dollar Mortgage Over Alexandra Park
The Auckland Trotting Club (ATC) has sold the farm to fund its failed dreams of transforming itself from a racing association into a property developer. Every single blade of Alexandra Park, including the track, has been mortgaged. There are two mortgages held over AP. The ANZ bank holds one for $500 million. Westpac hold the […]
