How is This For a Hook Job?
Have you ever seen a worse hook job than this one in America the other day. It was so bloody obvious. The jockey should get life.
The Mare Than Matt and His Mate Pat Improved Our of Sight
Oakley Shard was a slow pacer in New Zealand that won just 2 races from 25 starts during its three and four year old seasons, the fastest of then in only 1.59.8, which is pedestrian even at Manawatu. The mare then came to Australia and joined the Hollywood Keith McDeed stable, for whom she had […]
PVL Leads – Racing Victoria Sort of Half Follows – QLD Snores
So V’landys as usual leads the charge, and puts up $3 million to help NSW racing participants ride out the knock on effects of D. Trump’s war that isn’t. Racing Victoria do what is always does and falls in behind. Well sort of, but not really, because it’s been badly managed for years and doesn’t […]
They Can All Jett Off
People are always trying t0 tell me that Jett Turnbull is tactically no good. He gets the best drives in races and drives them like the best horse and they win, they say. A monkey could do it. Oh yeah. They think that because I rate Jye Coney the greatest young driver I have seen […]
Wes Chimes In
APG Sale, Adelaide. Well what can one say and where can we go from here? Australia wide Harness Racing is CACTUS.

APG “Adelaide” – What a Shocker
Gawler is no more Adelaide than the Gold Coast is Brisbane. The APG Yearling Sale venue in Gawler is no more the Magic Millions sale yard than I am George Clooney. This was no more a sale than you are Diego Maradona. It was just a joke. The top priced lot brought only $18 grand. […]

https://www.facebook.com/AustPacingGold/videos/1520893449367071/ The APG Yearling sale in South Australia is about to kick off, and if the parade of lots before the sale is any guide the whole thing looks like an absolute shambles. Gawler is the venue for this year’s sale, and as you can see from the footage above it is totally inadequate. There […]
Every Dog Has a Heart
No one is totally bad. Every dog has a heart. If you look real close you will see. Art is just like racing. Something that only genius’s can conquer. Chris Waller take a bow. Ciaron Maher and Maggie too.
Lizzy Jelfs? – Don’t Ask
I am away from home, and thus don’t have my usual selections of racing channels, so am stuck watching 71. That means I have to cop Lizzie Jelfs. Personally I would rather cut my arm off. Lizzie starts launching into a monologue about how only the very greats of racing win back to back Australian […]
Do You Reckon The VRC Do Happy Endings
I have known plenty of blokes in my time who have gone to a massage parlor after a win at the races. But I have never known one who went to the track to get a massage. Until now. The VRC seem to have extended the idea of a day at the races to include […]
