Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Wayne and Samantha Hill (pictured above) https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/sa/GDC28042510.mp4 Trainer Samantha Hill had two runners in race 9 at Globe Derby yesterday. Hill drove the 2nd favorite Alleyes, her husband Wayne Hill drove the favorite Twixten. When the field settled early Twixten landed in the 1-1 on the back of Gaita Pullicino’s horse Ima Destroyer, with Alleyes […]
Nullarbor winner Gary Hall Jr, a great driver Cameron Hart sure is a slow learner. He made the same mistake twice, and it cost Swayzee the Nullarbor. We showed you Swayzee’s vulnerability a few weeks ago after he was run down from in front at Menangle. On that night he ran his second quarter in […]
Cameron Hart (left) with Swayzee’s trainer Jumpin’ Jason Grimson Swayzee suffered a shock defeat at Menangle last night, going down to Max Delight at odds of $1.10 after appearing to have every possible chance. Did he have every chance though, or was his loss directly attributable to driver error? Swayzee had raced four times over […]
Driver Leonard Cain (pictured) should be charged with an unacceptable drive on Lostandfound in the last race at Redcliffe tonight and given stiff time. Lostandfound was the heavily backed $1.35 favorite for the race, and was given no chance at all of winning by Cain. He took it off the arm fast, but not quite […]
I don’t know if NSW hobby trainer Jacqui Ingham would have been doing cartwheels or taking commiserations last night at Parkes. You wait two seasons for a winner – just your ninth in a decade of holding a license – and when it comes you only get half. Ingham’s stable star – her only horse […]
Peter McMullen is a top-shelf reinsman, arguably the best in the State. Which makes it all the more troubling that he has put in a couple of queer drives lately, steers that you’d swear were intended to advantage his stablemate. We told the story yesterday of his drive at Redcliffe on Wednesday night aboard Beachbabe […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/qld/REC16042509.mp4 Did Peter McMullen drive the favorite in the last race at Redcliffe last night Beachbabe Crocker in a manner designed to advantage its stablemate Stripes? It certainly looked that way. Beachbabe Crocker led comfortably whereas Stripes from the 2nd row draw went back to last. McMullen had an easy trip in front for the […]
They say that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, but we say equally that hell doesn’t have any fury like the woman that the woman was scorned for either, at least not if what went on in race 5 at Marburg is any indicator anyway. The two women involved were drivers Danielle McMullen, […]
Ben Hope had the eye of the tiger in the score up It was a case of old v new in the Group 2 Lyell Creek Stakes at Alexandra Park on Friday night when rising star NZ reinsman and rookie trainer Ben Hope with Muscle Mountain took on the multiple premiership winning Aussie driver Chris […]
It’s a fine line between hero and zero. Zac Butcher proved it behind Merlin in the Group 1 Taylor Mile at Auckland on Friday night. Merlin went back to last early over the mile from the outside of the front row draw. That shouldn’t have been a problem, for with Jolimont setting a cracking pace […]
