Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
This is an opinion piece written by a long time harness racing participant and reader. The words are theirs, only the name has been changed to protect their identity. The views published below are Bill’s not our own, although we do agree with a number of them. Archie APG mixed sale results = 31 sold […]
Tasracing’s allocation of its slot in the Eureka to last night’s Beautide winner Fighter Command is farcical. The horse may be bred in Tasmania and owned largely by Tasmanians, but it is trained in Victoria by a Victorian trainer and driven by a Victorian driver, and until last night it had never raced in Tassie […]
Samantha Collett is riding Hooks, the horse in the red and yellow glued to the fence. The race is race 3 at Ipswich on Friday. Hooks is the $4.49 second favorite. Collett sits up on her mount inside 50m from home. It clearly costs Hooks third place, no question at all. A $27 outsider runs […]
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 […]
This bloke eased up a wee bit early didn’t he? Those who backed the horse have nominated its jockey for Idiot of the Year.
This is the tongue of the topweight Namazu after the Townsville Cup, in which the horse put on a rodeo performance after 100m and took no competitive part in the race. Goodness me. Hasn’t he paid the price for being in a pig of a mood? A spell will do him good.
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 […]
