Am I missing something here? Kalarney Heidi has won the Victorian Square Trotters Association award for Trotter of the Year. This mare raced 43 times during the season for just 6 wins, none of that at black type level. She earned $39 180 in prizemoney in the 2021 year. Her fastest winning time was 2.02.3. […]
It’s Easter this long weekend, and most people in Queensland have four days off. Racing Queensland has scheduled no race meetings on Good Friday, 11 race meetings on Easter Saturday, 1 on Easter Sunday, and 2 on the Monday public holiday. Call me the voice of reason and common sense (it would be a first), […]
You don’t have to be Einstein to work it out do you? Queensland is running 11 race meetings next Saturday, all bar two – Gatton and Toowoomba – all at times too close and tracks too far away to allow jockeys to ride at more than one. NSW has 6 meetings. Victoria has 4. Western […]

Oops, sorry. Luke Whittaker knocks over the $1.50 fave. There is something wrong about this race. It’s off, decidedly off. I don’t know what the end game was – lay the fave? nail the tri and first 4? exacta? – but the two tricks seemed to be to knock the favourite out completely, and to […]
There were 9 races at Caulfield yesterday. 30 runners were pre-race swabbed. Doomben also ran 9 races. Only 9 horses there copped a swab before the race. Am I the only one who thinks that there is a problem here? Probably. The QRIC certainly don’t
Well I stand corrected by Gold Coast Greg, who has pointed out that I am wrong about the Egg. It’s the other way around. The dogs pinched it from the trots. From the Fairfield trots to be precise.
