Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
In a story published recently on this site we said that there was no temporary stabling at Albion Park. We were wrong. There are 24 temporary stables that have been made available to interstate visitors. Apparently they come replete with paddocks, although I must admit than in about half of a century of going to […]
Tim Butt’s trotter Kar Manor is the new Doug, the money sucking beast that breaks at almost every start. His galloping record in QLD is 7/10 so far, five of them when well in the market. He is the sort of horse that should be stood down from racing until he trials acceptably twice, and […]
Sometimes you just look at something and have to shake your head. This Stewards report is two of them. How was Jilliby Kung Fu disadvantaged by track conditions? The winner of the big one – the QLD Sun, the very next race – came from exactly the same position up the sprint lane, as did […]

I wonder why the CEO of Albion Park is banned from going to the races at Eagle Farm? You would have thought a race club boss would be on the VIP list wouldn’t you? Especially one who used to hold a senior executive position with the host race club, and was for years a permanent […]
The good news of the day is that Australia’s best three-year-old, the Queensland born and bred Leap to Fame, has finally received his invitation to race in the Rising Sun, three months after he should have been a shoo in to be the first horse invited. Given that my suspicion has long been that the […]
A month ago we warned you that the fix was in against ‘Clip Clop’ Kevin Seymour, and that his Grant ‘Moses’ Dixon trained wonder colt Leap To Fame risked being denied one of the two invitational spots for 3YO’s to run in the Rising Sun for political reasons. Well guess what? We were right. The […]
The NSW Derby is one of the great races on the Australian harness calendar. The honour roll boasts named like Vincent, Lenny the Shark, Smolda, Elsu, Il Vicolo, Courage Under Fire, Westburn Grant, Rowleyella, Rufus Youngblood, Rip Van Winkle, Paleface Adios, Peak Hill, Lawn Derby. Stars one and all. This is a good horse’s race. […]
