Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
I have enormous respect for Chris Barsby. He is an excellent and always entertaining caller, and a brilliant judge of a photo finish, alongside Perth caller Richard Bell as the best in the land in any code. But even people who are top of the tree sometimes get it wrong, and by describing Mach Da […]
The Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf may have followed the centerpiece Juvenile on the Del Mar card, but it provided more than enough drama to cap off the first day of the 2021 Breeders’ Cup. Modern Games (IRE) was the winner of the race while running for purse money only, while Tiz The Bomb […]
Menangle Race 1 – Line Up Desperately unlucky last start. On an Inter Dominion path. Too good for these. Race 3 – Father Bob Big run first up from the death. With all conquering Grimson stable now, will improve. Leads and wins. Race 4 – Kashed Up Has panels on this mob. Race 6 – […]
Wet tracks, small fields, tired horses. The action today is minimal, but it should be profitable. Little fish are sweet. Flemington Race 1 – Hosier A class above these. We have missed the price, so evens will have to do. Race 7 – Chaillot If Declan Bates wasn’t on it I would declare this one […]
It was a tough Saturday night last week. We went into it with a profit of 2.6 units off an investment of 9 units, for a return on investment of 28.9%. Then we got slightly caned in what was a most frustrating night. 14 tips for 3 wins and 9 bloody placings. Don’t you hate that? Invest […]
“As long as it is a fair start then we will get our chance and he is usually very good from a stand.” If that is the case on Tuesday, Green would love to see driver Blair Orange head forward and look for the lead, a position Copy That has been almost unbeatable from in […]
The NZ Trotting Cup next Tuesday is being widely criticised for lacking quality. The critics are kidding themselves. There are only four chances in the race, but each of them in their own way are brilliant, and the storylines are never-ending. North v South. Purdon v Rasmussen. Old v Young. Champion v Champion. Warhorse v […]
James McPherson is one of the Turbo Trainor associates who had his phone seized at Menangle recently. He is not having a very good month. In fact when it comes to appearances in the Stewards room McPherson is not having a very good year at all. I won’t regale you with the finer details of […]
Sorry I forgot to mention that James McPherson also appealed against a 14 day suspension he received three days later at the Riverina. Once again he didn’t show up or lodge any material, but this time Mr Armati and Mr Ellis elected not to increase the penalty when dismissing his appeal. I would have. The […]
James McPherson was recklessly indifferent to both his rivals and to the Racing Appeals Tribunal, and he deserved everything he got, and probably more. That’s coming anyway, it is only a matter of time now (watch this space). But gee he was harshly done by in comparison to two other drivers in the race, Todd […]
