Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
We wrote a story earlier in the week about RocknRoll Da Gama, the Lola Weidemann trained pacer who had covered more ground than his namesake Vasco the Dutch explorer, and had raced 11 times in a month. Well now its raced twelve. Australia’s most over-worked pacer stepped out at Redcliffe today, and in a damning […]
Ben Yole has won the past five Tasmanian harness race training premierships in succession. He wins these Premierships because he turns out ten times as many runners as any other trainer in the State. Yole gets all these horses – hundreds of them – from around Australia by either buying them out of cheap claiming […]
Poor bloody ‘Jimbob’ Jaymz Smith. He’s taken the fall for the loose rake at Townsville. Resigned from his job as starter he has. Life just ain’t fair. The Track Curator has to undergo retraining. The Cadet Steward behind the boxes survives with a warning. The Chief Steward gets away scot free. And Jimbob walks away […]
People I know from the gallops often ask me why I like the trots and the dogs so much. The answer is easy. It’s the people. There are no pretences in these codes like there are at the races; no members stands, no suits, no ties, no segregation by class or wealth, no snotty nosed […]
Mildura It was Cup night, but the highlight of the evening was undoubtedly Bernie Winkle’s amazing win from 4 back the fence in the FFA support event. Bernie loves Mildura, and Mildura loves him. I think we all do. Aaron Dunn drove the race of his life behind Silent Major in the Cup, and deserved […]
I guess it is no surprise to learn that Ellmer’s Hoofing It has been scratched from race 4 at Globe Derby tonight. Ellmer’s owner and trainer have a bit on their plate at the moment, although not much in their bowl. Dennis that is scratched from Race 5’s connections are in the same boat. Oh, […]
Remember Masterati, the horse that Grant Young from Oakbank and his connections were racing into the grave? Well someone bought it. I don’t know whether the new owners paid the full $7 500 grand ticket price or not – I don’t even know who they are, because it’s all happened so quick – but what […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/nsw/PEC08042103.mp4 There is no man in the world training better than Jumping Jason Grimson at the moment. Or getting better results anyway. Jumping says its his genius, cynics say its the gear, the rainforest lawyers say don’t offer any more opinions on the matter, so I won’t. We will just stick to the facts. Kerry […]
Ignore Underbelly, and all the conspiracy theories that crop up about Melissa Caddick’s life and death. She was just a lowlife who ripped off everyone who she knew that had money and was stupid. There was nothing mysterious about her death. Caddick like a lot of cowards jumped off a cliff rather than lie in […]
Kerry Ann Morris. Scott Wade. Paul Russo. Come on down. Here, have a 5 year disqualification. No arguments. You were all told. It is not negotiable. Five years you cheats. You are cactus. Cop that!
