Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Captain’s Mistress brains them in the Rising Sun and runs a mile rate of 1.50.3. Leap To Fame holds the track record for the 2138m distance at 1.51.0. Or did until a few minutes ago anyway. Not anymore. Grimson’s mare is better than Larry? Puh-lease. Get out of here. How does that happen? I don’t […]
Race 6 – ID26 Pacers – Heat 3 – 2138m The Leap To Fame stakes. Larry wins. The Janitor runs second. Ubetcha Tigerpie gets a cozy run on the fence and finished 3rd. Selections Leap To Fame The Janitor Ubetcha Tigerpie Suggested Bet Trifecta – 5-6-2 Race 7 – The Great Square – 2138m A […]
Race 1 – South East Derby 2138m This is one of the hardest races of the night. Forget Maxo Mighty’s run last time out when he galloped at the start and lost all chance. It doesn’t mean that he is a certainty here, only a risk, but if he paces all the way the Grimson […]
The rumor mill is running hot that a horse that raced at Albion Park on Tuesday afternoon may not have been the pacer that he seemed, or was supposed to be anyway. The word is that it was not a deliberate ring-in, but rather an accidental one that saw an incorrect horse compete under a […]
Luke McCarthy trained the pacer Hesitate until a couple of days ago. Now all of a sudden it is trained by South Island NZ mentor Regan Todd, who just so happens to train the Kiwi superstar Marketplace, which has been staying at Luke’s place for the past month. Marketplace is a huge chance in the […]
Jason Grimson is not renowned as a trainer of 2-year-olds, and in the past has never trained many before. That may be about to change though if the win of Hes A Dancer on debut yesterday is any indication. Hes A Dancer had trialled 4 times for its previous trainer Michael Hardy, three of them […]
Spirit of Anarchy has had 50 starts both in New Zealand and Australia, and won 10 of them. The horse was trained until a few weeks ago by Victoria’s 3rd leading trainer Brent Lilley, and before that across the ditch by Cran Dalgety, one of the Kiwi’s fined. The fastest winning time he could run […]
I was researching a story this evening about why the newly appointed Alexandra Park CEO Brad Steele was at the Creek today instead of in Auckland, when by chance I decided to take a look at the current Albion Park Harness Racing Club Directors, and lo and behold I came across this. My old mate […]
The Kevin Seymour owned/Grant Dixon trainer Path To Greatness galloped away from the stand in the Flashing Red at Albion Park on Saturday night. Watch. It’s the horse drawn second from the outside in the Dixon black and white checked silks. Path To Greatness no doubt gallops. You can see it clearly. In any usual […]
The betting market for the Rising Sun at Albion Park on the 4th of July is insane. Captain’s Mistress is the $1.40 favorite. I don’t know why. The fastest time she has ever run is 1.48.9 at Menangle, which admittedly is very quick. But if that is all she is running then Marketplace will whizz […]
