Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Watch the replay of race 3 at Grafton on Sunday. Keep your eyes on the horse on the inside in these colours and the one on its outside in these ones . See how they jostle in the straight? The finish is a close photo but the one in the red black and yellow flashes […]
If you’d backed the horse on the outside in the 5th at Mt Isa today like we did, you would have torn up your ticket when its rider Chloe Lowe lost her iron at the furlong pole (the 200m mark for the youngsters). Chloe Lowe didn’t let go. Somehow against all odds thank to her […]
What is it with young female jockeys in Toowoomba and taking mobile phones into the riders room in breach of the rules? Last week it was Tahlia Fenton and Alisha Donald. This week it’s Shania Willis and Olivia Webb. Willis took her phone into the room despite having been afforded two opportunities to hand it […]
This is an email that every Kiwi’s favorite trot syndicator The Canary (aka Andrew Fitrzgerald) last week sent out to people on his mailing list, trying to flog them a 0.1% share in the horse SCOTT for $100 bucks. There are a few problems with The Canary’s pitch. One is that a hundred bucks for […]
Wayne Yole had 21 runners across 7 races at the Hobart trots last night. He won one of the races, but that wasn’t his notable achievement. Finishing last in all seven races was. That would have to be some sort of record wouldn’t it, seven out of seven? There are just two things I can […]
Where’s that Archie hiding now? A few years bacl I remember laughing at John Symons when he told me that he’d paid $120 000 for a colt by then first season sire The Mission at the March Yearling sale at the Magic Millions Gold Coast March Yearling Sale. “The Mission?” I snorted. “That cat could […]
18-year-old apprentice Nikki Olzard had a day out at Ilfracomne yesteday, booting home 4 of winners on the 5 race card. It’s a feat never achieved by most riders, and stands as a testament to Olzard’s skill and dedication to her craft. The kid’s only been riding for just over a year, but is already […]
Frankie Ferocious wasn’t the only Jason Grimson trained horse that failed miserably at Albion Park last night. Hot and Treacherous totally bombed out too, with the triple Menange winner who started favorite in the million dollar Nullarbor slot race at Gloucester Park in April performing miserably in the Mr Feelgood behind Leap To Fame to […]
https://youtu.be/2boO-xWcdHc Click watch on YouTube to see it. This American election is crazy. I wonder if the Don’s still so pro-gun now? Probably. Being shot’s just won him the Presidency back.
The bloke in the picture is the starter responsible for the disaster at Doomben yesterday in race 6. We don’t know the flash Harry looking fella’s name, but we do know one thing. He should take get a white cane to match his dark sunnies, and maybe a guide dog too. How else could you […]
