Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
If the rumors are right that Luke McCarthy is intending to take a crack at a new career driving in the USA after the Miracle Mile carnival, then he is setting himself a highly difficult but potentially lucrative path. Last year no Aussie driver – not Dexter Dunn, or either of McCarthy’s hitherto very successful […]
Leading Kiwi driver Blair Orange has been a little out of form this season, having recorded only 10 winners from 101 drives, which is well below his usual average strike rate, but he roared back to life yesterday the Forbury Park meeting at Oamaru (doesn’t that sound strange to say) by scoring a hat trick […]
The driver of the 2nd horse in the last race at Ashburton protested against the winner for alleged interference in the run home. Hope’s objection was dismissed, and rightly so, for it had no hope. When you drive up inside a leader’s wheel and get your own locked it’s driver error, not interference. Ben Hope […]
If you watch the replay of the race carefully you will see that Lurch – driver John Dunn – fails to pull the hopple shorteners on Millwood Goddess at any stage until after they passed the winning post. That means that the mare paced throughout the race with her hoppled about 4 inches too tight, […]
You would have sworn that Cyril Small was driving the leader in the first race at Busselton last night, if only it had been a gallops race not a pace, and the horse had been called Vo Rogue. It wasn’t though, it was called Delightable, and the driver was Trent Wheeler not the great man […]
We have received disturbing first hand reports about a terrible incident that allegedly occurred at the Westport race track during the post cup celebrations on Friday. Junior driver Scott Iremonger was allegedly assaulted from behind in the men’s toilet by two men, one of them a licensed trainer/driver from Woodend Beach, the a licensed owner […]
Is it any wonder that James Herbertson is such a good driver. His reflexes are extraordinary. Look how fast he scampered over the fence to avoid the champagne spray. And how fast he recovered his feet after clipping the hurdle. He’s Jimmy Dynamite! A champagne finish to a champagne night!🍾😂🤣 Champion Ryan Sanderson bathes his […]
Give Trent Dawson drive of the night honours. The initial play was which one of the two on the inside would immediately give up the lead to Swayzee, but the important X factor came into play when one driver strangled his horse to give up to Shane Grahams horse Turnitup, who would immediately give it […]
Editor’s note: FA is Future Assured, LTF is Leap to Fame Of course it was, no way Dixon would have been so positive out the gate to lock Swayzee up if he didn’t know the front was there for him for sure, of course FA (or anyone else) had no chance going back at the start […]
Dylan Edgerton-Green showed us all how to drive the best horse in the race in the 1st at Gloucester Park. Zephyra is a triple Group 1 winner as a 2-year-old who had only one once in it’s 3yo year off a long break. She was drawn the outside of the 2nd row in 12 in […]
