Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Albion Park’s new starting method – walk up starts behind the clerk The trot Stewarding circus rolled on at Albion Park on Saturday night, and this time it featured a comedy act. Race starter Mr J. Suli pushed the wrong button as he released the field in Race 6. Suli turned the red light on […]
The breakdown of the sectional times from Saturday night’s Race of the Century in Blacks A Fake tells us a number of salutary tales. The first one is how truly brilliant Leap To Fame is. Larry was forced to cover 32m more ground than the winner Don Hugo and 15m more than the third-placed […]
Shane Graham is a leopard. He never changes his spots. Rock Supreme was backed from $21 into $10 in race 1 at Albion Park. It started from the inside row in 8, with Bronski Zulu drawn in front of it in 1. Graham drove the Zulu, but he didn’t drive it to win. He drove […]
Archie Re Albion Park. Too little to late. At least the LNP are trying to fix the sport. What is being proposed is exactly what ‘sir” Kevin offered 10 years ago to the ALP, they didn’t care, no unions in sports. We don’t need it, the facilities are old, worn out and need too much […]
What a brilliant race the Blacks A Fake was last night at Albion Park. The race of the year. Hands down. It was an absolute ripper. The record books will tell future generations that Don Hugo won it. But really Luke McCarthy did. His drive was absolutely perfect, an 110 out of 10. McCarthy took […]

ALBION PARK No closure or sale of Albion Park. Harness racing will continue at Albion Park and become Queensland’s new ‘Racing HQ’. It will house RQ, QRIC and a new Racing Science Centre. Comment An eminently sensible move. I could never work out why they paid a fortune to rent offices next door to Albion […]
What the heck was Grant Dixon doing here on the $1.22 favorite Blackjack Crippa yesterday at Albion Park? Blackjack Crippa is drawn gate 2 in the Greg Mitchell colors. It is not a flying beginner, but surely it was up to Dixon to at least have it up on the gate so it didn’t give […]
Albion Park 20 November 2025 Race 8 GARRARDS HORSE AND HOUND PACE 1660m MS Son Of The Shark is a five-year-old that coming into this race had run 55 times for just 5 wins. The quickest of them was the last one, 20 months before, when he had won in 1.53.7 over the mile at […]
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 […]
