Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The Eureka landscape after last night turned out pretty much exactly as we predicted. Here is what we said would happen, and what did. Never Ending is likely to go back off the arm in this from the wide gate and be saved up for one run at them in the home straight. He won’t […]
How’s this for an example of the two sides of Karma. The Chief Justice – the horse whose part-owner Tom Percy QC accused apprentice Kristo Sardelic of cheating to beat in a BM64 on Tuesday – dropped back to a BM50 at Broome today. It ran last. Two races later Kristo Sardelic – the most […]
Its and interesting night from a Eureka perspective, with 5 of the 10 contenders for the big one making an appearance across two different States. Star WA pacer Never Ending makes his eastern seaboard debut in the 2nd race at Menangle, a 2300m Free-For-All in which he takes on fellow Eureka starter Captain’s Knock and […]
A jockey who returned a positive swab to meth over a year ago is still riding every week because his enquiry hasn’t been heard, or will it ever be heard? Another licensed person who returned a positive swab to meth and marijuana has been told he will not be charged as the chief thoroughbred stipe […]
On Tuesday jockeys Adin Thompson and Bailey Wheeler conspired to deceive the Clerk of the Scales at Ipswich by pulling some tricky business with a girth. The pair were probably laughing about getting away with it light by only being fined. But dishonesty doesn’t pay. The very next day Thompson received an 11 day suspension […]
Emma Stewart made it 6 wins in a row and 8 from her past 10 by racking up a treble at Melton last night. Remarkably two of her winners were first-up for a year from injury enforced breaks, and the other was a 4-year-old mare on debut. None had officially trialed. The trio were the […]
I thought I was bad waking up sometimes and not knowing what day of the week it is, but race caller David Fowler puts me in the shade. Poor old David doesn’t know where he is. The races were at Ipswich yesterday son, not in Brisbane. If you don’t believe me try walking home. You […]
Gout Gout is officially the fastest 16-year-old in the world. His times of 10.29 seconds for the 1oom and 20.69 over 200m confirm it. To put how quick he is in perspective, Usain Bolt holds the world record over both distances. His WR times are 9.58 and 19.19, and have stood for 15 years. And […]
Mildura trainer Naomi Kerr has raised eyebrows in harness racing circles by becoming a master at taking on tried horses from other stables and turning their form around, often improving their best times several seconds in the process. Many are wondering how she does it, with some being pretty sure they can guess. Kerr was […]
Reigning New Zealand horse of the year Sharp N Smart kicks off his Spring Carnival campaign today when he returns to racing in the $150 000 Foxbridge Plate at Te Rapa. The multiple Group 1 winner hasn’t started since finishing a poor 9th at Ellerslie in March to finish off a disappointing summer campaign, his […]
