Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Two weeks ago I wrote what you read above, with a confidence born of certainty. I know the Racing NSW CEO you see, and understand how he thinks, which is the same way I do. Neither of us learned it in Toorak, or at boarding school at posh grammars. Shared knowledge like this gives a […]
Since when was Kementari ever a cult hero? Who except the Sheik and James Cummings ever loved him? Um, no-one. The truth is that this horse was a money sucking beaver who loved nothing more than costing punters money by finding new ways to get beat. Kementari had a great 3YO season five years ago […]
We were never told the valuation of the 5.9 hectares of Gloucester Park that the club sold for $10 million paid over 5 years and a new stand. It seems now that there was a reason for that, and not one that tastes good at all. Last month the WA Government announced plans to sell […]
Queensland Racing Integrity Commission (QRIC) Stewards today concluded an inquiry into an incident which occurred at the Toowoomba Turf Club on the morning of the 14 April 2023, whereby a racially derogatory remark was directed toward Jockey Bradley Appo. After taking written and verbal evidence from both Jockey Bradley Appo and Apprentice Sariah Champkin, as […]
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 […]
