Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
My understanding is that Altrenogest has a greater performance enhancing effect on mares than geldings, Its use on geldings as far as I know is more to quell ‘coltish’ behaviour than to give it a lift. It has a steroid effect on mares. The O’Dea races were 6 months apart, and both races carried lucrative […]

The Alligator Blood court case has been resolved for the moment (in Alligator Al’s favor), but Alligator’s never sleep. So the hot mail out of Randwick is that the champ’s being set for the sweep.

This Saturday night at Alexandra Park sees the running of the $50 000 Group 2 Franklin Cup. $50 000 is damn good money for a Kiwi trot race, and every owner wants to win a Group race. The problem is that in Auckland there are no horses left to race in them. The race has […]
I say – and have said consistently for 2 years – that harness racing trainer Jason Grimson is a nothing but a cheat, a cheat of epic proportions. Now we can test my theory. Grimson has just acquired the once good but now busted former New Zealand pacer Sicario, who will be an eight-year-old coming into […]
I don’t know whether former Chief Steward Peter Chadwick took legal advice on how to handle the Alligator Blood case, but if he did then the lawyer who gave it to him should be stripped, tarred and feathered. Chadwick certainly has been in Justice Burns Alligator Blood judgement, that’s for sure. This how it rolled. […]
Well known Brisbane racing identity Max Fowler is the father of race caller David. He is also a somewhat of a wit I have discovered.
