Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
I was fortunate enough to be on track at Cranbourne to see the current greats of harness racing. It was certainly not without drama pre the big three races. Archie was first in the media to tell all about Nathan Jack burning down the road with millions of dollars of horseflesh under his care. I’m […]
I am totally confused by Cam Hart’s drive in this race, the 3rd at Cranbourne on Saturday night. Bewildered in fact. Cam Hart was aboard the heavily backed $1.75 favorite Major Art. It sat behind the leader in the perfect trail. When the sprint lane opened up Hart took it, and if you’d backed Major […]
QLD apprentice Violet Soulsby spent 6 months out of the saddle last year after suffering a horror fall down south at Wagga. Violet resumed riding at just after Xmas, and then didn’t have another mount for a month. She returned with a winner at Thangool a week ago. Then yesterday she went to Bundaberg and […]
Remember we told you in a story the other day about how gutless imbeciles were messaging and calling jockeys to abuse them over beaten rides? If You Can’t Cop a Loss, Then Don’t Bet at All Well it seems they are doing it to trainers too. Domeland mentor Nacim Dilmi – a highly talented and […]
Look how young this girl is that Jeffrey Epstein snuck out of his apartment and put in his chauffeur driven car. You’d love to think it was his daughter. But Epstein didn’t have any kids of his own. He had plenty of other though, as the world now knows. What do you reckon went on […]
The big lad goes aright doesn’t he? Who ever would have imagined he’s be so athletic? It just goes to show. Looks can be deceiving.
The track record for 2080m at Cranbourne stood at 1.55.6 until last night. Then along came the now Jason Grimson trained Kiwi mare Captain’s Mistress and turned it into dust. 1.53.7 she ran, in one of the greatest performances by a female pacer that you could ever hope to see. Champion Australian mare Eye Keep […]
I can’t really find any words to describe Leap To Fame’s win in the Cranbourne Cup last night. I’ve tried. Extraordinary, magnificent, sublime, heavenly, incredible. None of them do him justice. There are no superlatives in the English language that can. So just sit back and watch it again and savor the moment. The Thrilla […]
You have never seen a beaten horse in your life try as hard as Kingman did to beat Leap To Fame down the straight at Cranbourne last night in the Cup. Luke McCarthy’s great pacer gave it everything he had, and more. Every sinew in his body was stretched as far they could extend without […]
How great it was to see Jason Bonnington at Cranbourne tonight. The poor bugger doesn’t look to be that well. I half wonder if he hasn’t had some health issues. But he was in his usual inimitable form. Anyone who loves the trots as much as my mates and I do is alright by me […]
