Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The first at Albion Park last night was an absolute gee up. Matt Elkins on the favorite Royal Speech should have been charged with an unacceptable drive. What he did was a disgrace. With the Elkins trained/Narissa McMullen (his wife) driven no hoper Art Jester attacking it like a maniac, the leader Dangerzone had run […]
Take a look at this drive will you? It’s race 10 at Albion Park on Friday night and we are watching Boston Bronski, the horse in the Donny Smith colors of lime green and black driven by Adam Richardson. Watch what Richardson does, and remember that Albion Park has a sprint lane. See that? Adam […]

Race 1 – Ladbroke It! Qualifying Pace Dual Triad winner and last year’s SEQ Oaks champion Jewel Melody is an NR92 rated mare, which gives her 14 points on her next highest rated rival. Was a good run when posted working hard three and four wide in the consolation of the Rising Sun last week, […]
Is that the stood-down Albion Park CEO Scott Steele who is appearing in the QLD District Court tomorrow for an umpteenth mention of his rape and sexual assault charges? We don’t know. What we do know is that if it is, then Steele’s charges have been separated and will be heard as two different mattters, […]
The betting market for next weekend’s $355 ooo Rising Sun has been thrown into disarray after long-time market leader Frankie Ferocious bombed out big time in his lead-up run at Albion Park last night. Sent out as the $1.75 favorite in the Band 4/Band 2 Pace, the Chariots of Fire winner led on his ear […]
Grant Dixon drove the perfect drive to win the Wondais Mate on Leap to Fame on Saturday night. Dixon was smart at the start, letting the speedster Turnitup power out past him, and then using the space he left behind him in his wake to pop off the fence and land immediately into the running […]
I popped into AP for a couple of races earlier this afternoon…. The first person I saw? Scott Steele, the stood down former CEO. Doesn’t he go on trial next week for sexual assault or something? This is a really bad look, just my opinion… He was wandering around the stable areas freely and taking […]
… enjoying a drink In the QANTAS Club at Brisbane Airport yesterday were Albion Park Chairman Brad Steele and his wife and his wife, on their way to Christchurh to complete the formalities ahead and do a bit of house hunting ahead of his appointment as the new HRNZ CEO. A public announcement about Steele […]
Grant Dixon this week told Adam Hamilton that he is going to ride the rail on Leap To Fame from the inside of the 2nd-row draw on Saturday night and drive for luck, hoping that a gap opens up after the start that allows him to slip off the fence into the line. Dixon claims […]
