Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Hey Archie, I agree that Grant Dixon made a mistake, however I think it was at the start when he could have gone inside Max Delight instead of following him, watch it again you will see. Here is the biggest disappointment of the night for mine. People were being turned away at the gate. We […]
Leap To Fame covered an additional 45m more than the 2638m journey of last night’s ID26 final, and ran an extra 33 meters more than the winner Captains Mistress did. He ran his last mile from three wide into the death in 1.50.03. That is unheard of, until now. It wasn’t all that long ago […]
The mail out of Albion Park on Saturday night is that club Chairman Greg Mitchell and his wife Sharon, herself a board member, will announce their resignations from the roles tomorrow. The Mitchells are said to be relocating to the South Island of New Zealand, which is a very strange move for anyone from the […]
I MOST certainly do not go out of my way to have differing views to you Archie, but in what is seemingly becoming the norm, my take on the Inter Dominion final is chalk and cheese to yours. And thats great because it means one thing… this is going to be one heck of race. […]
The QRIC this afternoon issued the statement below advising that at a stable inspection conducted on Sunday morning the Jason Grimson trained Dangerous was found to be lame in the front left leg, probably because Grimson hadn’t had a chance to apply the magic spray yet. If the horse was trained by anyone else that […]
It is quite incredible how many ways the QLD harness racing industry can find to stuff up its major promotional opportunity of the year by mismanaging the Inter Dominion 2026 series. Highly dubious last minute stable changes such as that of Hesitate from Luke McCarthy to visiting NZ trainer Regan Todd, and that of Captain’s […]
One of the strangest stories to come out of Albion Park on Saturday night wasn’t about ID26, or even the trots at Albion Park. It was about a race at Addington back in May, the Welcome Stakes. Now I can’t see the problem with the race myself, for it just looked to be a bold […]
Here is my early view of how the first few hundred meters of the ID26 Pacing Final will unfold. This is not my summation of the race, just of the early part. Gate 1 – War Dan Buddy Buddy is drawn the pole, but is not a super quick beginner off the gate. I doubt […]
The answer is nine. That’s how many Stewards were on duty at Albion Park on Saturday night. Each and every one of them missed this. https://youtu.be/Jf_gqRMSgB4 It’s Peter McMullen on Attachment that we are looking at. McMullen takes the horse from the one wide line back to the inside on the turn. He clearly goes […]
What an absolute load of shit this is. Of course Tiger Band Wagon was suffering from respiratory problems after running last in its ID26 heat on Saturday night. It has just a run a lead time 2.5 seconds faster than in Dangerous’ heat, and 2.9 seconds quicker than in Leap To Fame’s. And the run […]
