See that red post in the picture? That is a marker post that the start of the sprint lane. This is a still frame of the field at the top of the home straight as they prepare to charge to the line in the $300 000 Group 1 Victoria Cup, worth $171 000 to […]
This is not Chris Alford’s fault, and is probably just coincidence all round, but literally two seconds after he had breached the rules by entering the sprint lane early on Max Delight, driver Josh Aiken on Malcom’s Rhythm appears to look momentarily to his right to see what is coming down the outside, and then […]
What many people don’t know about me – other that I am actually a good bloke – is that I write poetry. Here is one of my works. I wish I was a retired harness hack, who did others bidding for money; I could live in cold suburbia then, instead of on the beach […]
