Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
You see some very questionable drives when you watch a lot of trot races like we do, and Bryse McElhinney’s steer here on Aladdin Sane in race 2 at Albion Park was one of them. Aladdin Sane had won at both of its previous two starts in higher grade than this race, so despite its […]
Hi Archie, Re; The protest at Bunbury trots last Saturday night. First of all, there is no mention of the protest in the race results. Secondly, the stewards report states the protest was fourth against second (see picture at top of story). Thirdly, if you watch the replay, the interference is caused by Kyle Harper […]
Arch Pop Quiz. Are there more snakes in Sweden than Australia? Someone obviously told Brad Hewitt there were, and that they were all on the fence during The Locomotive’s heat of the Elitloppet on the weekend. A deaf, dumb and blind man had forever to take the horse to a position three back on the […]
We have written many stories pleasing for the authorities to take trot driver J0hn Stariha’s license off him on safety grounds, and all with good reason. Yesterday at Marburg we saw yet another example 0f the justification for our calls. Stariha, who was sitting behind the leader on Magicol Ideal, suddenly pulled the horse out […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/qld/APM24052511.mp4 Feast your eyes on the deadest drive in the world. It’s Nathan Dawson on number 2 Chap Daddy. The horse has been backed from $7.50 into $3.00. Suckers. Look at Dawson take it back off the arm. Watch him work overtime to surrender a good sit in the line. See him succeed and bury […]
Take a look at the video above and watch Carter Dalgety in the maroon and white colors come off the fence and smash Craig Ferguson in the teal silks out three-wide. Ferguson’s horse is checked by Dalgety’s actions – which were in breach of the rules in every sense – and it ends up costing […]
Take a look at this race above – race 4 at Bathurst last night – and ask yourself this question. What the hell was Jett Turnbull doing? The answer is easy. Trying to tank the odds-on favorite on his inside so as to get it beaten. He succeeded. It’s hard not to when you force […]
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 […]
