Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Trainer Emma Stewart had two runners in the last race at Melton on Saturday night, Captain Perfect drawn gate 5 and Storms Collide drawn outside it in gate 5. Clayton Tonkin shares in the ownership of Storms Collide, Bain and Summit own the other horse. Captain Perfect blew in the betting from $1.80 out to […]
Amateur Kiwi driver Cheree Wigg has been suspended for four months for causing a fall. Her own. That’s tough luck isn’t it. Or not. Wigg almost caused the horse outside her to fall too. She has done it before. Amateur drivers only drive once a fortnight, so Wigg has actually only been outed for 8 […]
Watch this race and keep your eyes on Bettys Gold Class, the horse in the lime green and black. What you are about to witness is the deadest drive in the world. He didn’t try one bit. https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/qld/REC22082503.mp4 He is Shane Graham, one 0f Queensland’s leading freelance reinsman. Graham drives a lot better than that. […]
If Wayne Hill didn’t drive the odds-on favorite The Irishman dead in race 3 at Globe Derby today then the Pope’s not a Catholic. This drive wasn’t just hot, it was burning. The Irishman was backed from $3.30 into $1.65. It’s stablemate Jamieson blew from $1.85 out to $5.50. Jamieson’s 3 career wins had come […]
Watch Nathan Dawson’s drive on Majestic Lavros in this race. It’s the horse last in the grey. It wouldn’t have won, but gee it was unlucky when finishing fourth. Couldn’t find a run anywhere could it. That’s because Dawson wasn’t looking hard enough. Watch it again on the Steward’s vision, and keep your eye on […]
It was funny sort of race the 5th at Albion Park. Sweet Addition blew in the betting like the proverbial dunny door, blowing from $3.50 out to $6.50. She is a pacer who has been driven with a sit in all of its Queensland starts, even when drawn inside barriers. On Saturday night driver Peter […]
Watch the two horses at the rear of the field in this replay of the final race at Menangle last Monday. In particular watch the right hand of driver Josh Gallagher wearing the light blue cap. Go. Did you see it? Gallagher reaches his arm out and appears to grab the shaft of the sulky […]
The mail out of Menangle is that the Jason Grimson – Jack Callaghan trainer-driver partnership is over, and that Happy Jack will within the coming weeks be heading over to the United States to live and work for a while. How he was able to obtain a green card so quickly (if he has) suggests […]
The mix-up in drivers for the Grimson horses in race 6 at Menangle last weekend raises an interesting question. What rule exactly did the stable representative and drivers breach? Julie Henman, Blake Jones and Matt Rue were charged with, and pleaded guilty to, a breach 0f rule 239A, which reads that: A person whose conduct […]
Peter “Noddy” McMullen’s drive on Arrive in last weekend’s QLD Oaks defies logic and sense. Take a look at it before we go on further so you can see what I am about to say. What the hell was McMullen trying to achieve by taking off at the 800m at the speed he did? Was […]
