Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Outside of the State drivers premiership, in which the energizer bunny James Herbertson leads by 36 wins and has at his mercy, the race for the rest of the Victorian titles is as close as its been in recent memory. Mark Pitt and Greg Sugars are tied at the top of the metropolitan drivers ladder […]
Tasmanian’s worst trainer Wayne Yole kep up his outstanding record of failure by training the last placed horse in all seven races his stable contested at Hobart yesterday. That backed to Yole senior’s give last placings at Launceston on Friday to give him the unenviable record of twelve lat placings for the weekend. It’s amazing […]
South Australia 5-time Singapore and 6-time Macau premiership winning j0ckey Manoel Nunes, who is looking for a new professional base following the shutdown of racing in the Singapore, rode a double at Murray Bridge on his South Australian debut. Local star Kayla Crowther showed him what for though by booting home a treble. Over at […]
Major Moth had 28 starts for Australia’s leading trainers Emma Stewart and Clayton Tonkin. It won 13 of them. The fastest winning time it ran was 1.54.3. Last night Major Moth won under double wraps over 2138m at Albion Park first-up from a 9 month spell. It was the horse’s first start for its new trainer […]

Yeah, yeah, before you get to say it I will admit it. I bagged the hell out of KO Racing for buying Maotai and syndicating it out to those keen to own a small piece of a horse. How wrong I was. Maotai looked like a really good horse when winning first-up at Flemington this […]
Champion New Zealand driver Blair Orange is smiling like a man who has just won lotto, and who could blame him? His son Harry has just won on Ilsas Girl at Alexandra in his first ever race drive. It was a pearler of a steer by the young man who is bred to be a […]
If you think the massive reduction to prizemoney for the Breeders Crown series announced yesterday is the only crack on the chin that Victorian harness racing participants are going to cop this year, then I’d suggest you think again, for the pain has only just begun. There is no alternative, for as we’ve been trying […]
The big losers from the decimation of the Breeders Crown series are Emma Stewart and Clayton Tonkin, with the pair set to miss out on millions of dollars as a result of the wholesale cuts to stakes. Tonkin and Stewart have dominated the Breeders Crown in recent years, particularly since the change in dates meant […]
