Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
It was a rare night’s harness racing at Launceston last night, a most unusual one indeed. Not because anything particular happened, other than the 1.56.3 win of the 3YO NZ import Montana Storm, who swept around the field three wide and brained them, and looks to be an exceptional type. What was unusual was what […]
For near on 2 years I have been telling you and anyone else who will listen that the Kiwi pacer Copy That is a superstar. After his win in the Wondai’s Mate at the Creek last night I won’t need to say it anymore. You saw it as well as I did. (If you didn’t […]
Trot trainer Troy Williams can lay claim to the provisional title of King of Penrith after had landed 3 winners and 3 thirds from his six runners at the meeting held there last night. William has had 24 starters at Penrith since the 8th of May. His record reads 10 winners, 4, seconds and 4 […]
Ben Yole trained runners contested nine of the ten races on the card at Hobart last night. Yole only had one runner in the first race, for 2-year-olds. It ran last. He didn’t have any in race nine. There were 91 starters in the other eight races on the card. 43 of them were trained […]
A new world record was set last night at the Penrith trots. “Greatest Age Gap Between Dead Heaters in a Horse Race” is the record category. Nine years is the new record. I’d submit it to the Guinness Book of Records, if only these days it wasn’t a fee for service, money gouging rort, without […]
It’s comforting to know that the control body Racing Queensland and its erstwhile experts on harness racing are up with the play isn’t it? Or not, as the case may be. Bling it On retired from racing in mid 2018 did he? Bloody hell. A fraud has been pulled on us all. Was that a […]
The news out of the Ray Green camp is that the great Kiwi pacer Copy That has recovered from the minor hoof soreness that afflicted him last start in the Harness Jewels final, and is back up and raring on all cylinders. Copy That will trial on Friday at The Creek, then head straight into […]
Just curious Mr Ben Yole. That’s all.
That is not a trotter. That is collosus. Meet Kaos (full name Moment of Kaos), at 18 hands and rising, the biggest standardbred square gaiter that anyone can ever remember seeing. There is a great story on harness link this week about about Kaos winning his first ever race Addington on Thursday, at the tender […]
Can anyone help to work this one out, for it makes no sense to me. Each swab sample taken and analysed by the QRIC costs $327. That was the budgeted figure last year (number on left), and it is the same number in the current year (number on right). Numbers don’t lie, do they? If […]
