The Greatest Try You Will Ever See in Your Life
We can all do this. Can’t we? Nah. Xavier Coates is Superman.
From the Penthouse to the Cellar
After all the excitement of the Miracle Mile last week at Menangle, tonight’s trot meetings across the country feel somewhat deflating, and are very hard to get enthused about. At Melton we have the thrill of watching the champion trotter Just Believe devour his rivals in the 4th race at the super short and totally […]
The All Star Mile Ain’t a Genuine Group 1 – But Gee It’s Going to be a Cracker of a Race
There has been a lot of criticism about the quality of this year’s All Star Mile, and much of it is warranted. If I ever hear this race spoken in the same Group 1 breath as the Everest again I think I’m going to vomit. This race is as much an elite class black type […]
Want a Free Tip for the Great Northern Derby at Alexandra Park Next Week? – Croak!
Jeremiah was a bullfrog. Now he’s a pacer. The one in the dark grey and blue in the video replay of the Sires Stakes heat run at the same track last night below. What sort of a run was this bloke? He looked to slip around the turn on the wet track, became totally unbalanced […]
The Best Thing Beaten You Have Ever Seen
This below is the replay of Mr Brightside’s first ever run in a race, at Matamata in New Zealand back in February 2021. He is the horse in the colors at the top, and was ridden by Opie Bosson. You’d want to strangle Opie if you’d backed him wouldn’t you? How far should he have […]

Tabcorp’s Woes Go Much Further than CEO Scandal
The near 3 per cent fall in Tabcorp’s share price on Friday following the shock resignation of chief executive Adam Rytenskild is evidence the gambling giant’s problems run much deeper than a dodgy culture. The next CEO will inherit a company that is widely seen as the gaming sector’s legacy laggard, the long-term incumbent that has struggled […]
The Hill’s Not the Only Thing That’s Broken Here
Haven’t Naomi Kerr’s horses started flying again since NSW harness rogue Shannon Wonson started taking after dark drives from his workplace at Darren Weir’s pre-training center in Baringhup up to Mildura to visit friends. It’s quite remarkable really. https://www.hrnsw.com.au/news/1745/mr-shannon-wonson–recommencement-of-disqualification Kerr had runners in 6 races at Broken Hill. She won 4 of them, and ran […]

What Price Ryan Hryhorec Scratches My Ultimate Levi From Friday Night’s Broken Hill Cup? Our crystal ball has magic powers. It told us yesterday that Ryan Hryhorec would have have problems getting My Ultimate Levi to the track for tonight’s Broken Hill Cup. And guess what? So he did. Float breakdown my arse. Harness Racing […]
Singing Canaries are Your Best Friends
This is Andrew ‘the Canary’ Fitzgerald’s tweet about punters club he is helping with Boys Get Paid for the Race by Grins night. The problem is that the last time that the Canary was in charge of punters club money was for the Auckland Wish 4 Fish fundraiser, and the solid whisper was that he […]
