Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
It probably wouldn’t have made a difference in the end, but gee I thought Grant Dixon made a terrible mistake in his drive on Leap To Fame in the NZ Free For All on Friday. Everyone in the world knew that The Lazarus Effect was going to lead and then hand up to the first […]
Harness Racing New Zealand published a notice advising that in a late change to the line-up for the Australasian Young Drivers Championship Jason Kittel had replaced Corey Johnson as SA’s representative. Harness Racing South Australia didn’t say a word about Kittel having replaced Johnson. They just said that Kittel was their rep, with no explanation […]
Leap To Fame is the best horse in the world. We have been saying that he was two-year’s old. On sheer ability and a perfect preparation he would win the NZ Cup by panels. The great problem is his driver Grant Dixon. Dixon is a brilliant horseman and trainer, but despite the excellent driving record […]
Messages have been flooding in from all parts of Australia tonight about the running and handling of race 1 at Globe Derby tonight, and to a person all of the correspondence relates to the drives of the Tony Pullicino trained pair, the $81.00 shot A Major Star driven by him, and the $1.80 favorite Perfect […]
Take a look at the drive here of Malcolm Jones on number 2 A Dragon For Joe in race 6 at Launceston last night. Either he hooked it or he is such a poor driver that he doesn’t deserve to hold a license, I am not sure which. When a horse blows from $2.70 out […]

If a gallops jockey falls ill during a meeting and can’t fulfil their remaining rides. they are on most jurisdictions and circumstances required to provide a medical clearance from a doctor before being able to ride again. Fair enough too. If you or I are sick from work we have to hand in a medical […]
Reinsman Corey Johnson has been dropped as South Australis representative in the Australasian Young Drivers Championship kicking off at Cambridge in NZ next week. Jason Kittel will take his place in the SA colors. The late switch comes as no surprise given that Johnson is the focus of Stewards attention in their investigation into the […]
Once upon a time when the world was wide and the Stewards were top-class Grant Dixon would have been sent to the sin bin with a long suspension for his drive on Blackjack Sam in the last race at Albion Park last night. But today in this dimly lit era all Dixon got from the […]
Tasmanian reinsman Christian Salter has been disqualified for 18 months for what can only be described as being an absolute bloody idiot. Harness racing drivers in Australia are required to wear a HRA approved safety vest that is in good working order whilst in the cart and on the track. For nine months between Nov […]
