Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The first heat of the Elitloppet has just been run and won in sensational style by the French trotter Ettonnant, the reigning champion. It was an amazing win. Ettonnant landed in the death seat outside the Copenhagen Cup winner Onas Prince, who went to the front and led, the Frog absolutely kicked his head in, and […]
I am too distraught to write about it. So will let you watch it instead. Stuff the Elitloppet. Give me the Inter Dominion any day. You can stick the Stockholm trots up your coke and sars.
The Starter didn’t see it. The Stewards didn’t see it. The caller didn’t see it. No-one saw it, except an eagle-eyed reader and me. Now you do too. In every country in the world the 7 starts inside of the 8 when they are drawn on the same line. They were in the first at […]
The Kentucky Equine Drug Research Council unanimously advanced the reclassification of levamisole as a Class B substance. Their recommendation, which needs approval from the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission, would put it in line with those of the Association of Racing Commissioners International and submitted-for-approval rules of the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority. Class B drugs have […]
For those that don’t track the trots with zealotry and passion, the terminal months of each term, in this nation, were September and August, almost in alignment with thoroughbred racing though one month apart. Well f0r a start those that don’t follow the trots don’t read the trots.com, but let’s not let common sense get […]
To Peter Profit I know Toowoomba trainers get a bad wrap, but I was very impressed with the training performance of team Geran at Chinchilla on Tuesday, and ever since the trainers took over the horse. They raced Perfect Harmony, a slowish sort of horse that had several previous trainers who couldn’t get it to […]
Dear Archie Re your recent stories about Kerry Ann Morris and Jack Trainor. Levamisole is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and metabolized in the liver. Its time to peak plasma concentration is 1.5–2 hours. The plasma elimination half-life is fairly quick at 3–4 hours which can contribute to not detecting levamisole intoxication. The metabolite […]
I wonder what the driver of the leader said to the one inside him when he turned twice and looked inside? Would it have been “Hey Darling, remember I have to win so you and your better half can flog this juiced up donkey that off to some dumb Australian buyer before I have to […]
JAPANESE-born jockey Yoko Ota is not a dreamer but she has spent half her life living in optimistic hope on a sometimes frightening roller coast ride in racing. The 35-year-old always wanted to be a jockey but her applications to join an apprentice school in Japan were twice turned down. She read of a Japanese apprentice jockey […]
Usually Racing QLD notify the public when meetings are transferred to different tracks. It seems that on Saturday they didn’t. A company named Regional Cast – that was formed just months before it won the rich annual six-figure contract for the job, despite the seeming absence of any open tender – is Racing QLD’s official […]
