Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Mr Profit If you haven’t already seen it take a look at the fourth race at Albion Park on Friday night. https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/qld/APC16052515.mp4 Angus Garrard’s drive on the favorite Sinabun in this race is open to question. It looked to me as if he wasn’t trying. Garrard settled Sinabun back last from the wide gate, and […]
Just take a look at the cowboy show between the drivers of 4 horse (blue) and the 8 (pink) in the first race at Hobart on Sunday. Dylan Ford was the pink, Rohan Hillier was the blue. Ford pleaded guilty to a charge under AHR.163(1)(b)(i) to making Hillier’s horse cover more ground than necessary. When […]
Take a look at this video from race 6 at Goulburn on Monday and keep your eye on the 7 and the 6. It was a battle for the spot in the line between the journeyman club fighter Dean Cernovskis and the rising star of the professional ranks Will Rixon. In a major upset Cernovskis […]
Victorian driver Ryan Sanderson has been hit with a massive 35 day suspension for his drive on Master Gouda in the $100 000 Riverina Regional Championship at Wagga on Friday night. Sanderson’s huge penalty came as a result of the incident below in which he crashed across to the peg line on top of driver […]
Husband and wife team Wayne and Samantha Hill were at it again last night at Globe Derby, it being team driving one for the other. It happened in race 7. Wayne Hill was on the $1.75 favorite La Moth. Samantha was on the $5.50 third favorite Alive and Free. Alive and Free went to the […]
Take a look at race 8 at Globe Derby on Monday afternoon and keep your eye on Deadline, the horse in the death. Did its driver Kevin Weidenbach go for home a lap too early? It sure looked like it. The Stewards saw it differently. They said the horse choked down. Maybe it did, maybe […]
WA harness race driver Briana Edman is 21-years-old and has only been in the cart since November 2023, so perhaps we shouldn’t be too hard on her about her drive on the well supported Sidestrepo in race 5 at Gloucester Park last night. Harness racing is however a professional sport upon which millions of dollars […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/wa/GPM09052503.mp4 The drive of Shane Young on Wonderful To Fly in the G3 WASBA Breeders Stakes at Gloucester Park on Friday night was very strange indeed. Young led on the fave from gate 1, but at the bell with two laps to go he meekly handed up the front to the second favorite Penny Black […]
Carter Dalgety wears his hair weird so no-one can see if he has a brain Weight stops trains they say, but I can stop weight. The Cooler one of my mates calls me, and perhaps he’s right, for yesterday I put the cool on Carter Dalgety well and truly. Readers will be aware that I […]
Two years ago last month NSW harness driver Nathan Xuereb drove his pacer Fifteen Aces dead in a race at Menangle, deliberately ensuring that the horse was beaten. Xuereb did so not because he had laid the horse – or not that we know of anyway – but because he wanted it to finish 7th […]
