Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
A disgraced harness racing trainer banned from the industry for life has admitted a series of deceptions including selling a non-existent horse and then charging its new owners for expenses. Christchurch trainer Mitchell Kerr pleaded guilty to two charges of obtaining by deception and one representative charge of forgery in the Christchurch District Court on April 6. […]
On The Bit Racing were on the ball as usual at Mt Isa on Saturday. The balls up. Can you believe we are paying $300 000 a year for this shite? We might as well have just pissed our money down a well. Actually, I think we have.
A margin thinner than a pencil line separated the Graeme and Debbie Rogerson-trained two-year-old Sharp ‘N’ Smart from victory in Saturday’s Listed The Phoenix (1500m) at Eagle Farm on Saturday, however co-trainer Graeme Rogerson believes his charge can go one better in this weekend’s Gr.1 JJ Atkins (1600m) at the same venue. The strapping son […]
To my way of thinking Robert Dunn’s past history of rule breach offences is enough on its own to disqualify him from eligibility for appointment to the board of the national harness racing governing body HRNZ, but clearly my views are not shared by either the law makers or by the other directors of the […]
This is sort of hard to believe, but those in the know assure me that it is utterly true. Former trainer Nigel McGrath is the 2nd year of an 8-year disqualification from harness racing for doping and conduct offences. He is a repeat offender who was embroiled in the infamous blue magic saga that cost […]
There is a bit of a problem with how race 7 at Albion Park on Friday was run. A lot of a problem actually. Trainer Dan Russell had 2 horses in the race. One was Sharp Shooter, driven by Matt Elkins. The other was Heartbreak, driven by his ever loving spouse Narissa McMullen. Sharp Shooter […]
Gary Hall Jr, the driver of the 2nd horse in this race Jumpingjackmac, fired in a protest against the winner Double Up and its pilot Ryan Warwick on the grounds of interference in the back straight. The interference was pretty clear cut, and Warwick caused it with blatant disregard for the rules. Hall Jr was […]
There is nothing like a trip across the stormy seas of the Bass Strait to spark an old walker back to life, but don’t tell anyone that because all of a sudden all the seats on the ferry will be booked out by Lourdes style pilgrims and Ben Chainsaw Yole won’t be able to bring […]
In another free promotion for the peterprofit.com website, today Ben Dorries has ‘revealed’ that a QLD jockey rode a winner while he was supposed to be out suspended. If you recall, we actually broke the story for 4 weeks ago. You always hear it here first. QLD Race Stewards – When Only the Best Will […]
In Queensland the answer is seven. See the official Stewards Report from Eagle Farm yesterday (above)? Ingratiating was slow to begin and raced wide without cover it says. I backed Ingratiating. It is the horse in the Godolphin blue in the replay below. As you can see, Ingratiating never, ever left the fence, not even […]
