Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
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 […]

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 […]
I am n0t sure what this idiot threw on the track as the runner came into the straight for the first time in race 2 at Menangle last night, but whatever it was it had the potential to create danger by spooking the horses. Whoever the fool was needs to give themselves an uppercut. They […]
The word from across the ditch is that as we predicted some weeks back, the current Albion Park chairman Brad Steele has been offered and has accepted the CEO role at Harness Racing New Zealand. An official announcement will be made next week is the mail. Steele’s brother Scott won’t be able to travel over […]
Pete McMullen claims that he felt Turn It Up only challenged his horse Aardie’s Flash for a short distance after the first turn. McMullen was correct, it did. But what about the heated challenge for the first 200 or 300m when Noddy took on the fastest beginner in QLD and held him out, running a […]
