Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Last night at Victoria’s only harness race meeting at Mildura there were races run for stakes of $6000, $7000 (x2), $9 000, and $10 000 (x2). Meanwhile at Menangle in NSW there wasn’t a race run with a purse less than $20 400. The lowest staked race at Albion Park in QLD was $11 620 […]
This is the Stewards Summary listed on the form of Saturday night’s Menangle winner Familiar Tricks for it’s previous start. Note that Familiar Tricks was subject to an Age Horse Vet Examination. All well and good you might say, and congrats to the Stewards for telling us. No. An aged horse vet exam is usually […]
So the way to get Illavabubbles beaten is now obvious. Make her run two quick early quarters in a row. Illavabubbles has had 8 starts for Jason Grimson, and has won 6 of them. https://www.harness.org.au/racing/horse-search/?horseId=819909 She showed blinding early speed in each of the wins, but was allowed to back off and run a comfortable […]
The remaining 6 races from the aborted Globe Derby trot meeting tonight has been rescheduled to Monday, which at least gives participants a chance to win some money that might otherwise have been lost if it had been abandoned, even though it leaves many of the drivers having to explain to their boss why they […]

RIFF ROCKET DOES IT AGAIN! 💜🤍 HE DOES THE VRC-AUSTRALIAN DERBY DOUBLE!@cwallerracing @mcacajamez @WoppittB pic.twitter.com/FIkw1C6nfR — 7HorseRacing 🐎 (@7horseracing) April 6, 2024 What sort of crazy mixed up call was this by Darren Flindell in the Australian Derby? Sure Ceolwulf got to within a long neck at the end, but he was never ever ever […]
Can anyone in the world explain why Celine Gaudray elected to take a sit on Buffalo River in the Victoria Handicap on Saturday at Caulfield? It seems insane given that 6 of of Buffalo River’s 8 Australian wins have come when it has led, and the other two came when it was positioned in 2nd […]
The Globe Derby meeting tonight has been called off after just three races due to an on course power outage knocking out the lights. As you can see from the photo at the top the rest of the suburb still has the lights on, so the power failure is restricted to the track. How do […]
Black Caviar’s son I Am Caviar had his 12th start at the lowly Cranbourne meeting tonight, where he went around for a miserable winners prize of $22 000, the sort of money that neither of his parents would get out of bed in the morning for. The 4yo that would have attracted bids upward of […]
But The Championships have been a game-changer in more ways than one because the transformation of the Sydney autumn carnival effectively marked Racing NSW’s foray into a different aspect of its administration. Racing NSW appointed a chief executive to oversee the introduction, and for the first time, the regulator put itself front and centre as […]
