Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
We here at peterprofit.com write predominantly about the dark side of harness racing, but only because someone has to, and it earns us a quid. It doesn’t mean that there isn’t a whole lot good about the game; it just means that we leave it to the industry paid writers to write about it. Some […]
Adam Hamilton wrote a lovely spruik job yesterday about the genius of Jason ‘Jill’ Grimson. He’s the next Stanley Dancer if you believe Adam’s hype, or probably more correctly the next Vin Knight or Tubby Peace. Is there anyone old enough to remember them who doesn’t look back to that decade in the 1980’s and […]
Someone at the QRIC or the race club forgot to take a number 15 saddlecloth to the Barcaldine races on Saturday. Which meant that come the last race where the emergencies gained runs, Lasco didn’t have a number. So someone tore a sheet or tablecloth apart and hand made one. They didn’t do a very […]
If there was only 1 steward at the Chinchilla races yesterday, why were there 2 stewards – one Tony Preston, another his offsider – at the phantom meeting held at Quilpie after the actual meeting was abandoned on Thursday due to the state of he track after the town received some much welcome and long […]
Pembrook’s Princess Has run a few placing without having any luck during the running would suit racing out of Canterbury selling as owner only wants Canterbury based horses. https://standardbred.gavelhouse.com/lot/1204/pembrook-s-princess This ad is a load of absolute bollocks, which is I guess what you’d expect from the syndicator Andrew ‘the Canary’ Fitzgerald of Off N Racing […]

Pakistan Star’s amazing effort had nothing on the win at Toowoomba yesterday Look inside the yellow circle. The horse drawn the inside. Do you see the barrier attendant blocking it’s path out of the gate? It’s a bit dark, so watch the slow-motion replay instead. Look closely. What is the barrier attendant doing? The attendant […]
Is this for real? Was there just only Steward – Mr Kim Daly – officiating at yesterday’s Chinchilla race meeting? Did Mr Daly also perform the duties of the Clerk of the Scales? Why were there two judges and two vets, but only one steward and no clerk? How could Mr Daly possibly run the […]
A month ago we wrote about Jimmy Orman being on fire, and not even our mock has been able to douse the flame, which is a shock because normally we stop trains. Orman has ridden fourteen winners in the twenty-four days since we published the article, including the first and last legs of the treble […]
I was trying to watch my mate Battling Benny’s horse run in the first at Thangool today on the six-figure RQ live stream provided by On The Bit. I dunno how Battling’s horse went. But gee that bloke had a nice hat.
