Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fields/race-fields/?mc=AP030326#APC03032601 The Real Rocketman is an 8-year-old pacer who in 101 starts coming into yesterday had never won in faster than 1.56.1, and in defeat had only broken 1.55 once, that being when it ran 1.54.9 in finishing 5th, after having the 1-1.

We are going to publish some stories critical of Nathan Dawson in the come coming days, but first we thought we would show you why. Dawson is an absolutely gun driver when he tries. Tuesday’s steer on Frankie Ferocious confirms it. This was the perfect drive. No bum could have done it. Hold that thought. […]
As we used to shout in the dressing room at Emerson Park after footy games, James Herbertson didn’t win the Ultimate Drivers Challenge. He sh*t in. Herbie won 6 of the 20 races in the series, and finished more than 50 points ahead of his closest rivals, who all finished clumped in a bunch. His […]

What the hell is this long and detailed Stewards report that ends nowhere at all about? I reckon they are targeting the Livingstone’s, for no good reason at all. Brent Livingstone’s twin is having a presently having a few problems with the police and the law, but I am not my brother’s keeper, and Clint […]
Cherries On Top was probably a false favorite at $2.25 to win race 6 at Albion Park yesterday. The filly was drawn well in 2 but is a slow beginner, and was up in class. But based on her two recent wins at Redcliffe punters had a right to believe that she would be driven […]
So-called wise folk say that the only things certain in life are death and taxes. They are wrong though. There is another absolute certainty in life as well. That Grant Dixon will train the First 4 in the last race at Albion Park on Saturday night. I am renowned among my friends for stopping trains, […]
1 August 2025 Recent observations at harness racing meetings have raised serious concerns regarding underage and unlicensed persons being present in restricted areas such as tie-up stalls. Restricted areas are off-limits for valid reasons. In simple terms, it is unsafe for individuals without the proper experience and licensing to be in proximity to horses weighing […]
Albion Park’s new starting method – walk up starts behind the clerk The trot Stewarding circus rolled on at Albion Park on Saturday night, and this time it featured a comedy act. Race starter Mr J. Suli pushed the wrong button as he released the field in Race 6. Suli turned the red light on […]
