Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Brendan Barnes drove the $1.70 favorite Promising in the 4th race at Albion Park on Saturday night. Drove it like a lunatic straight to destruction. Barnes took Promising straight to the death off the gate, but at no stage did he have a dig for the lead. The lead time was run in a flying […]
The joining together of Bluebet and Betr is being widely reported as a merger. But it isn’t really, it’s an aquisition. Betr aren’t paying a cent, other than the $2 million worth of newly issued shares that Matt Tripp is buying at about 3/4 of their currently traded price (Tripp and other investors pay 21c […]
A lot of trot people won’t like this, but the new cognitive testing requirements introduced by Harness Racing NSW are a hugely positive thing. I grew up watching and worshipping Tke King Wally Lewis, the greatest rugby league player of my lifetime. One of the toughest too. Wally’s ability to take a hard knock and […]
I wonder which one of these is the horse owned by the HRA Chairman’s wife? Wayne Yole has 42 runners at the Launceston meeting on Sunday night. That is more than he has had in any entire season since 2007/8, with the exception of 2021 when he had 43 starters across the year. They are […]
This is the photo finish of the 1st race at the Mt Gambier trots on Sunday afternoon. The judge declared it a dead heat. But is it? My eyes are far from perfect at my age, but it looks to me as if there is a narrow margin for the outside horse. I may be […]
Angus Garrard is an experienced driver who has steered home more than 750 winners. He drove straight over a marker peg in the first race and sent it flying. Garrard didn’t even get a reprimand. Layne Dwyer is an inexperienced 17yo kid who was having his first drive at a metro meeting last night. He […]
Enterprise Success was supposed to wear blinkers in the 5th race at Gympie on Saturday. It didn’t because the horse became fractious and put its head down in the barriers. When this incident occurred Enterprise Success’s bridle became separated from the horse, and it was required to be replaced before Apprentice Youngberry could remount and […]
Maxwelton is a town of just 22 people located in the middle of nowhere, but there was plenty of action at the races yesterday. The QRIC sent Karl Stefanovic’s cousin Sharon out to take urine swabs from the female riders. There were a whole 2 at the meeting. The whole town and a few assorted […]
Everyone’s favorite Queenslander Keith sent in his synopsis of the two slot races in New Zealand on Friday night. He tipped the exacta in order in both. The one in the trot slot race paid $6.80, and in the pace it paid $13.80. Keith of course had done his dough on the gallops before the […]
Tragically Singo’s little girl Dawn is one of the victims killed by the lunatic who wrought evil upon the Bondi Junction shops yesterday. Dawn Singleton was just 25 years old, with the whole world ahead of her. She was due to be married in a couple of months time. Instead, thanks to the evil deeds […]
