Take a look at the replay of the finish of race 6 at Hobart on Sunday night, and keep your eye on the leader Inside Three Bars. It is driven by Dylan Ford and trained by his mother Tammy Langley. The horse on his inside that gets interfered with is Ourtiger, the odds-on $1.50 favorite. […]
Did the 3 horse really over-race and contact the wheel of the 4 horse, causing it to gallop? Or did Maurice McKendry the driver of the 4 cut across the 3 when there wasn’t sufficient room because he was looking over his left shoulder to the outside instead of looking in to ensure there was […]

Don’t you be a bad boy JohnnyDon’t you slip up, or play the fool – Men at Work He’s Chiming was the $1.95 favorite to win race 5 at Bathurst last night. Its driver John O’Shea obviously didn’t back it. He might have laid it though. O’Shea is sitting pretty third the fence as the […]
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.
