Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/sa/GDC18112405.mp4 Heza Tiger – trained by Super Mario Borg, driven by his aunty Gaita Pullicino – is backed from $16.00 into $4.00 in the 6th race at Globe Derby today. The horse is a cat that has had 40 starts for just 2 wins, so you know something is going on that probably shouldn’t be. […]
We’ve all heard of trainers giving horses an easy run, but this is ridiculous. Tambo’s Justice joined the Georgie Holt stable in October just weeks after it has trialed for Tony Gollan over 1050m at Deagon and finished 2nd last beaten 8.25 lengths. On the 6th of November the horse trialed for Holt over 850m […]
Emma Stewart won 3 of the 4 Breeders Crown pacing finals on Saturday night. She trained 1st, 2nd and 3rd in one of them, and 1st and 3rd in another. Had Stewart done this last year she would have collected $524 000 in stakes. This year due to prizemoney cuts she only took home $234 […]
Emma Stewart had six runners in the Breeders Crown 3YO Colts and Geldings final. Only one of them – Some American – was owned by her Dad. Some American was allowed to stroll to the front early after its stablemate the $1.70 favorite and initial leader Bay of Biscay took hold and allowed it across. […]
Controversial jockey Justin Huxtable has lodged an appeal against his indefinite standdown by the QRIC after he was charged with a criminal offence. Huxtable’s appeal will be heard by the Racing Appeals Panel on Thursday. We wish him the best of luck. Given the subject matter of his police charge and his subsequent conduct he […]
Some people say that you should only back SA trot trainer ‘Super Mario’ Borg’s horses when they are in the first few races on the card. I know not why they say such things, but I disagree. So too do the stable punters who piled into Tuff Tiger in the last race at Globe Derby […]
There were 3 Stewards rostered on at Saturday’s race meeting in Clermont. Two of them came in one car from Rockhampton 370km away. The other came in a separate from Longreach, a 427km one-way drive. All 3 stewards stayed overnight and got accommodation, meals and a travel allowance. Each of them were paid Sunday overtime […]
They say that Ben Hope was higher than Swayzee at the Racecourse Hotel on Saturday night. You have to wonder if he was in the same state of mind when he decided to park Just Believe outside him on Muscle Mountain in the NZ FFA Trot instead of taking the sit on the Aussie’s back. […]
Anything HRV can do, Harness Racing NSW can do better. Or worse, depending on which lens you are looking at the Menangle pre-race swab (PRS) regime from. Only 1 of the favorites on the 8 race card in Sydney was PRS. That Seaton Grima trained runner was also the only 1 of the 4 odds-on […]
Every race on Breeders Crown Finals night at Melton on Saturday was a Group 2 carrying prizemoney of between $50 000 – $100 000. You would expect HRV’s swabbing regime employed on such a program to be at least the same level of class, of preferably for it to be Group 1 standard. Instead it […]
