Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The now 10-year-old Bernie Winkle lined up at Mildura last night at his 3ooth lifetime start in a race aptly named Congratulations Bernie Winkle 300 Race Pace, and the great warhorse delivered. It was his 64th career win and, by my count, his 41st victory at Mildura, which is an incredible achievement for a pacer […]
Lannoch Boy was backed from $2.90 into $1.55 to win at Penrith last night. He didn’t. The poor bugger went like a busted arse. It’s stablemate Saginaw was specked as well. That horse went real good. It won and run a time that was just 7/10th’s of a second outside the track record. I am […]
Back to the TAB Eureka and Dixon said he felt a mix of pride and deflation with second spot. “It looked like our race to win, but you can’t expect any more from him,” he said. “You wonder if I’d done anything differently, would it have changed the result, but I’m not to know that some horses […]
This year’s Cox Plate winner – yes, I have talked Rogie into it – resumes tomorrow in the Tarzino Trophy at Hastings. It’s a race that has won by some fantastic gallopers. Grey Way. My Gold Hope. Vice Regal. Starcraft. Seachange. Tavistock. Ocean Park. Melody Belle. Kawi. Rough Habit. A parade call of great horses. But there are better. Four winners of […]
Tim Vince is probably the most interesting bloke in harness racing. He doesn’t look much, but that’s deliberate because he is as smart as a whip, and knows that looks can kill, or get you robbed and killed. So it’s all a blind, and probably comfortable too. The stories T. Vince could tell would fill […]
That was…an interesting ride from J Kah on Rosetown Princess — Adam Page (@Page1991Adam) September 7, 2023 There is huge unrest around the place about the ride of Jamie Kah on the heavily backed $2.25 into $1.50 favourite in the 3rd race at Cranbourne yesterday, with some – not me – even going as far […]
Well that DT Crimmins is one of nature’s gentleman, in general the nicest, most genuine, and generous man in the world, despite his somewhat quirky eccentricities, which even if I explained you wouldn’t believe, so I won’t bother. Just take as read that despite being a bookie D. Crimmins is a great bloke. There is […]
When it became obvious that Jerome Luai was out, possibly for the season, the Warriors all of a sudden became a huge chance of beating the Panthers and going straight into the preliminary finals. Shaun Johnson’s calf injury has cruelled that. Now the Warriors will be lucky to make it past week 2, and I […]
Some nice reading haha 9 years disqualification and 7.5 disqualification! Couldn’t happen to a nicer person. That karma bus always catches up with you 🫣 https://t.co/1eZFQLAuyg — Ryan Wiggins (@RyanWiggins1982) September 6, 2023 There is a reason for that. It may or may not concern his brother, the former jockey Taylor Lovelock-Wiggins. You can only […]
It’s a cracker of a meeting at Melton this weekend with the semi-finals of the Breeders Crown series at various ages and sexes filling the massive 12 race card. Emma Stewart dominates the entries with 36 horses nominated across 11 of the semis, and she can be expected to win a minimum of 5 of […]
