Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The Sunshine Sprint was a tremendous race, and the Janitor was outstanding. But not as good as Don Hugo. The form guide says he got beaten by a bit, but gee he was unlucky. McCarthy got snagged 2 behind the horse in the 1-1 that had a heart attack, and lost his position, a couple […]
Morning Archie Something is definitely suspect about some race times being recorded at Albion Park. Last night Taylad To Use led all of the way to win the 2025 Somerset Farms Darrell Alexander Trotting Championship Final. Nothing at all wrong with the win and training performance of Grant Dixon – thoroughly deserved the win and […]
Leap To Fame holds five of the seven tracks records at Albion Park for pacers, a never before and never will be again achieved feat that on its own stamps him immortal status. One of the records Larry doesn’t own is Yulestar’s 1.56.2 set in the 2001 Inter Dominion Final for 2647m from the mobile, […]
Some really odd things are going on in Queensland at the moment. Well tried older horses are running times that just don’t make sense. Cheerstolou is one of them. When it arrived at Donny Smith’s stables about a month or two ago it had raced 78 times for 8 wins against weak company, and never […]
Grant Dixon has been getting away with murder at Albion Park lately. Last night he slaughtered an odds on fave right in front of the eyes of the Stewards, and killed a million multis. And got away with that too. Dixon’s drive on Call To Order didn’t even earn a mention in the Stewards Report. […]
For the second year in succession the Albion Park Harness Racing Club has posted an annual loss of circa three-quarters of a million dollars. It is not all the club management or committee’s fault. They have to a large degree kept spending under control by cutting back on discretionary items of expenditure such as marketing […]
Trista Dixon is a skilled and experienced trot driver and although I haven’t met her personally is by all reports a very nice person too, so I mean no disrespect to her or criticism of her personally in any way when I say what I am about to say. All I am doing is telling […]
Kiwi import Fitzroy was the heavily backed favorite to win the last race at Albion Park, and with very good reason too for the 2YO had been racing highly competitively against elite company in group class races in New Zealand, and there weren’t any top shelf black type pacers lining up in this race. Punters […]
Bold Medley Jujon is a pacer who has gone around the track seventy times in official races, so his form is very well exposed. The fastest winning time that he had ever run before today was 1.54. It’s fastest time ever was 1.52.6 which it ran a year ago in a race at Albion Park […]
Call me a cynic if you will, but I have a question. Why did Shane Graham take the horse in the blue to the outside of the leader rather than go inside it up the sprint lane? It wouldn’t have been to give the horse three back the fence Bronski Zulu a free passage through […]
