Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Dani Hill drove Flame Blaster as dead as a doornail at Mildura on Friday night. She hooked it. The horse was three wide with a trail when the one whose back she was on started to wilt and fall back in her lap. Hill could and should have gone, for she was going nowhere but […]
What Sam Kerr did yesterday to seal the Premier League championship for Chelsea is simply outrageous. On a scale of difficulty of 1-10 each goal she scored was the perfect ten, and she did it twice. Forget all about gender barriers. Our Sam is the greatest pound for pound striker in the world. Christiano Ronaldo […]
https://www.facebook.com/watch/?extid=CL-UNK-UNK-UNK-IOS_GK0T-GK1C&v=2527742880690623 How do two guys in their late 20’s/early 30’s start off their careers as owners of harness racing horses with just 2 horses, and just 27 months later end up owning 216, many of them purchased from New Zealand? How do the same pair of blokes who started out with a postage stamp 2 […]
Take a look at this replay above will you, and tell me if you think the infringement – if that’s what you call it, which I don’t – in the incident here is worthy of a 15 day suspension. You are looking at the horse in the death in the red with green V and […]
David (Dave) Anderson was one of the disgraced and deceased harness racing owner John Seaton’s closest friends. Seaton was the owner at the centre of the Blue Magic doping scandal in the early 2000’s, and committed suicide before his charges were heard. Anderson spoke on behalf of the family at the funeral, where he said […]
How could Michael Stanley possibly have applied a poultice to the legs of his runner in the $210 000 APG Final Soho Alamasi two days prior to the race, and not have washed or worked the horse for two days leading into the event? Knowing that horses could not be treated with a poultice after […]
I saw this on Twitter today, and my immediate reaction was not to believe it. It has to be a hoax I thought, a photo-shopped piece of anti-Green propaganda. Surely no semi-mainstream party would be so ridiculous that one of their policies would be shut down all forms of racing. That’s just insane. I forgot […]
Lacey Morrison got ripped off blind by the Stewards at Gordonvale on Saturday. In race 4 she was denied a protest win by the stipes failing to see Frankie Edwards whip his horse 14 times before the 100m mark, and 25 times in total (see story below). Then in very next race she had her […]
Stewards advised Mr Bowen that a Veterinary Certificate, an ECG Report and the horse would need to undertake an official Barrier Trial prior to racing again. This is another clanger in a series of them made by Stewards at the Gordonvale meeting on Saturday. Who do you reckon is going to ride the ECG and […]
I want to tell you a little story that demonstrates the sheer incompetence of the QRIC thoroughbred steward, and illustrates it for all too see. We are at the Gordonvale races just south of Cairns on Saturday, and it’s race 4. The horse in the blue with the red cap is Magnate, ridden by Frankie […]
