Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Faster than a speeding bullet. More powerful than a locomotive. Able to jump tall buildings in a single bound That’s Superman, and it’s Jack Callaghan too. Jack has to be. How else could he drive in the 2nd race at Albion Park at 7.56 pm and then back up and drive in the 5th at […]
We slagged off the selection of Kingman for a place in the Miracle Mile from the moment it was made, and remined trenchant in our criticism of Club Menangle’s selection the entire week leading into there race. No-one can ever say that we were wrong can they? Kingman went like a busted arse. Had the […]
Archie Great drivers study tracks and work out how they play. Pete McMullin is a terrible driver – he totally messed up on Gus and did a worse job with The Janitor – put Luke on The Janitor and he wins. McMullen went too early! Do you ever see Luke make a move af that […]
Nostra Bella is or was an absolute walker that at it’s last 4 starts had finished as follows: Last of nine beaten 8 lengths in a 3YO Handicap at Geelong Last of twelve beaten 8 lengths in a 3YO Handicap at Flemington Second last of eight beaten 4 lengths in 3YO and up at Flemington […]
Ben Thompson is a very, very good jockey. He currently sits at number 3 on the national premiership with 92.5 wins for the season. So how do you explain his ride on Redford in the 7th race at the Gold Coast yesterday? Pilot error? A simple misjudgment? Or something a whole lot different again? Thompson […]
The aged 8-year-old pacer Hector has been through the hands of some pretty good trainers during its career. Emma Stewart. Kim Prentice. Andy Gath. Jason Grimson. Multiple Group 1 winners, one and all. Not a single one of them could get the horse to win in faster than 1.52.9. None of them were Mitchell Dawson […]
South Australian trainer Rebecca East had two runners in the Mount Gambier Pacing Cup last night, the heavily backed even money favorite Operative Line, and the well specked $8.00 shot Eastbro Chrissy. Operative Line broke a hopple shortly after the start, and was retired from the race. Favorite punters money turned to dust before they […]
Kevin and Kay Seymour have waited a lifetime to get a champion pacer, and invested a fortune along the way, and done so much more than anyone to keep the great sport afloat. Along the way the Seymour’s have helped an untold number of people in the game. Dan Costello the photographer from Albion Park […]
None of us have ever seen a greater win in a Miracle Mile than Leap To Fame’s last night, and even if we live to be 130 we never will. How could he have possibly won that race? Larry was wide, he was team driven against, he was under pressure for at least 800m, he […]
Son, you’re an idiot. I may be dead but I can still see better than you. The tangle at the start of the Miracle Mile wasn’t Luke McCarthy’s fault, it was James Herbertson’s. He came out under McCarthy’s horse, and Luke did everything he could to pull Don Hugo off. Bulletproof Boy got smashed and […]
