Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
This is Ben ‘Chainsaw’ Yole’s registered and licensed training premises. See the dams? Damn. A rating 69 pacer is not going to win any races if it can’t run faster than 2.02 for a mile. Not at any track in Australia, or anywhere in the world. Even in Tasmania. Max Richter couldn’t on average in […]
We decided this morning to take a 2 weeks snapshot of the same fortnight’s racing in Tasmania over the three consecutive years from 2017-2019. What we were looking at was the runners trained by Ben Yole during that fortnight period each year, so that we could attempt to track where they ended up. The fortnight […]
Sir Mark Todd. Smodd. Animal beating arsehole, and all round prick. Strip him of his knighthood. Tear his training license into pieces and chuck him in the creek. Throw him in too. We don’t need Todd’s type here in racing. The only place we need him and them is in jail.
Dear Peter Profit I can’t agree with your assessment of Mark Todd, he is a legend, and what he did was appropriate for a “napping” (look it up if you don’t know what it means) horse. It’s a thin piece of woven plastic string on a lunge whip with a cracker on the end and […]
Dear Peter Profit RE: The “language” of horses. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=voK8wQXlq40 There is a human element to this but trust me this is exactly what they will do in the paddock on their own if they want to make another horse move First threatening gesture, watch horse swings his head with his ears pinned at the other […]
C.C. Chevron is a ten year old pacer, which is pretty old in racing terms. The aged gelding is also Australia’s most over-raced horse. In the past 52 weeks he has raced 62 times, which is a hell of a lot of racing in any person’s language. That’s one issue, but not the main one. […]
Gee, I wonder why the Stewards are looking at G. Hall Junior’s whip use. He’s the one in the yellow and blue one off the fence in the death. I suspect little Gaz may have breached the whip rule. How about you?
You could see rounding the turn in race 5 at Randwick that the heavily backed Bjorn Baker trained galloper Deel With Me had gone amiss. It was obvious. The horse changed action and started running like he was on three legs, and boring in toward the off side where he was obviously hurting. The only […]
This is Lord Bazalup. He is a pacer, but more accurately, he is a walker. Jamie Durnberger from Summit Bloodstock owns him. Summit Bloodstock is Australia’s larges harness race horse owner by volume. Ben Yole is Lord Bazalup’s trainer. Last week Ben was honoured by Harness Racing Australia with an award as the nation’s leading […]
Former Central QLD Chief Steward Tate Hudson was at the Bundaberg Races yesterday as part of a QRIC Integrity Investigation Team. Why on earth the IIT would be at country Bundy instead of at the Sunshine Coast metro meeting or the Ipswich provincial is anyone’s guess, but that’s a side issue. Hudson decided that he […]
