Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
South Australian racing is a train wreck. It is a circus run by clowns. That is why the leading trainers like Tony McEvoy are bolting for the hills. Yesterday the Port Lincoln club had a lucrative TAB meeting included in a prominent place in the busy Sky Racing schedule, which is pure gold as far […]
Want to see a team driven race fix? Bridgetown in WA, wherever the hell that is, race 7. Trainer Ryan Bell has two in the race. One of them is Hillview Bondi, the favourite drawn in 1 that has blown from $1.12 to $1.25. Bell drives it. The other is number 6 Sound Wave, that […]
Group races in galloping are for the best of the best. Some of them are age restricted, but every one of them is open to all comers, and they are almost always won by horses who are at the top of their game. It’s different at the trots. Lots of things are, particularly in NSW. […]
GENERAL PRINCIPLES Group races shall be races open to all horses and free of eligibility restrictions. Races that are bound by age, sex or gait that are otherwise open in nature are included as Group Races. The GRP shall ensure that the guidelines are followed and in considering feature race applications, shall consider the number […]
If Zaaki wasn’t the greatest weighted certainty in the All-Star Mile, then I don’t know where you would find one handicapped better under the WFA scale. You only have to take a line through the Doncaster Handicap weights to know it. The Doncaster of course is run over the same distance, the mile, so the […]
The NSW gallops stewards must eat the same crackers for breakfast as their colleagues at the trots do, because their standard of officiating is about the same. Their whole suite of skills was on show at Rosehill yesterday. In race 3 Sam Clipperton pummelled his horse with the whip all the way down the straight, […]
Ben ‘Chainsaw’ Yole contested seven of the nine races on Tasmania Cup night at Hobart. He trained 32 of the 92 runners in those seven races. How many did he win? One. Australia’s greatest trainer must have been having an off night. Usually he turns out half the field each race and wins two. If […]
The idea of pre-race blood testing is to stamp out cheating. It only works when you test the right horses. Which makes you wonder why Harness Racing NSW don’t. I suspect we all know. It’s all just random they say. Just like the chook raffle at the pub where the barmaid palms the winning ticket […]
I am really not sure if there is any point writing this story. If there is anyone who by this stage doesn’t realise that Jason Grimson is drug cheat, then it means that they are brain dead stupid, and that no matter how many times you bash them over the head with the truth they […]
The brilliance of the TAB never ceases to amaze. Today at Tauranga in New Zealand their form guides have Kozzi Asano claiming four kilograms. It would be a good trick. He outrode his claim a year ago. Adjust your handicaps punters. And get rid of the biggest one of all. The TAB. https://www.facebook.com/LOVERACING.NZ/photos/a.870432886358640/3802608023141097/?type=3
