Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
This is taken from the TAB website yesterday. You and I who are regular punters know it’s not true, but what is a newcomer to wagering on the sport supposed to think. “Oh, this J. Orman is an apprentice” is what. This is not a one off, it happens all the time in the TAB […]
See that fella aged 50-something walking down Flinders Street in Melbourne with a big grin on his face and his tongue stuck firmly in his cheek? That’s Adam Hamilton. He doesn’t really thing that Jason Grimson is not harness racing’s most amazing trainer. Hamilton is just taking the piss. Just like you and I do, […]
Summit Bloodstock won 4 races at last night’s Hobart Cup meeting, including the big one. Three of them were very recent NZ imports trained by Emma Stewart. I wanna know how she did it. Ben Yole also trained one of Summit’s winners. I wanna know how he did it too. Here are the winners and […]
Jason Grimson has been racing a team in Victoria since the 25th of November. He has started eight horses since that time. All bar three have won. Those two are Majestic Cruiser which ran as a tired horse in the heats of ID22; Sicario, which ran a close second in the Group 2 Bendigo Cup […]
Elione Chaves won six Swedish jockeys premierships. Karl Zechner once won the South African triple crown, becoming only the third jockey in history to do it. Yesterday the once distinguished riders were kicking around the back blocks of Ipswich. They won a race each, Chaves a maiden and Zechner a Class 2. It’s funny game […]
There is no doubt that Spritualised is an extremely talented a horse, a potential topliner one day perhaps. But three weeks ago it ran last in a race at Eagle Farm beaten by 20 lengths.

The highly innovative, but very poorly treated Waikato/BOP trot club that runs Cambridge has had enough of the way that Harness Racing New Zealand is blocking it’s path to put the sport in the North Island back on track, in favor of propping up the Auckland Club who put it there. We have been writing […]
A number of my mates vouched opinions that I had interpreted Richard Callendar’s recent cryptic tip about a Melbourne jockey moving to Sydney incorrectly. I can now say that I did not. It was indeed Brett Prebble. Confession. I didn’t have a clue who Richie was talking about. I just worked out the riddle he […]
Sicario’s average mile rate over his past 10 starts is is 1.57.0. Three of races that time is calculated on run were over the mile. All but one of the other seven races were at distances of 2240m or below, with the but one being the ID22 Consolation over 2570m. Last night in the 2650m […]
Driver Michael Stanley is believed to be in hospital tonight with a suspected kidney injury. It is believed – but not confirmed – that the injury was incurred when the winner of the race Major Meister, through no fault of it’s driver’s, ran up the back of the cart of Rock N Roll Doo in […]
