Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The word out of the Brekky Creek bunker is that Crayons has been appointed the new Chief Steward at Toowoomba. It is a curious appointment, for Crayons is a chap named Clayton Warren, a young bloke who used to work on the barriers up at the races here in North QLD about a decade ago, […]
Carter Dalgety got Republican to the front before Leap To Fame last night in the Kilmore Cup, but then when Larry came a lookin’ he catted it and handed up. Dalgety had obviously seen what happened to Kingman when his bubble burst late in the Cranbourne Cup after parking the champion and trying to outstay […]
The more you look at the interference that Kyle Wilson-Taylor caused in race 6 at Doomben yesterday, the worse it gets. KWT steered his horse out underneath the jockey outside him and cause a chain reaction that could have been catastrophic. There is no doubt in the world that he did it deliberately too. He […]
We are hearing disturbing rumors that a leading Brisbane rider has become a glass pipe jockey. That is, they have a problem with meth. An addiction being the problem. It’s a prick of a drug, the worst of the worst, one that can destroy you in just days or weeks. The rider in question has […]
The New Zealand harness racing awards this year were nothing but a joke. Leap To Fame won The Race and the NZ Free For All, and ran second in the NZ Trotting Cup. Kingman won the Cup, and the Christian Cullen too. Somehow Republican Party – who couldn’t beat either of them with start – […]
Have you ever noticed how many good horses trained by Luke McCarthy hang in? Kingman does it. Don Hugo does it. King Of Swing used to do it. Captain Bellasario did it last night. It’s weird. Leap To Fame runs as straight as a die. So does Merlin. Paleface used to too. But Luke’s horses […]
We warned you in our story yesterday that Don Hugo was a risk against Himynameisjeff at Menangle last night. It didn’t quite pan out exactly as we envisaged, thanks to the genius of the superstar junior driver Jye Coney, but the result certainly did. Apologies to his adoring owner Tony Licastro, who has reaped great […]
Are we in some parallel universe or something? How else do you explain yesterday’s Doomben Stewards Report? https://www.racingqueensland.com.au/racing/full-calendar/thoroughbred/meeting/doom/20260207/stewards-report The summary says that Jag Guthmann-Chester (JGC) was injured or ill after race 1, and required a medical certificate prior to resuming riding. But the report of the race mentions nothing at all about the injury/illness. Not […]
Brisbane jockey Kyle Wilson-Taylor got into some sort of verbal fracas with fellow rider Jag Guthmann-Chester after race 3 at Doomben yesterday. We have no idea what is was about, because the Stewards Report doesn’t tell us (see story above). All that it is possible to glean is that KWT didn’t cop the blame. Then […]
While all the eyes of the harness racing world are quite rightly on the Kilmore Cup tonight, their is a very interesting battle going at Menangle, one which might tell us a bit more about next weekend’s Hunter Cup. I am talking Don Lou against Himynameisjeff. Jeff is an exceptionally good horse ran a huge […]
