Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Grant Dixon has been getting away with murder at Albion Park lately. Last night he slaughtered an odds on fave right in front of the eyes of the Stewards, and killed a million multis. And got away with that too. Dixon’s drive on Call To Order didn’t even earn a mention in the Stewards Report. […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/wa/PAC24112509.mp4 I am the perfect person to judge this, because I backed both of them. They were very similar drives. G. Hall Jr’s drive on Skyklou at Pinjarra was very, very good. But James Herbertson’s drive on Steel The Moment in R2 at Horsham was better. Take a look yourself above at Hall (blue and […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/qld/APC21112514.mp4 You have never seen a more obvious team drive in your life than the one Team Dixon pulled in the $100 000 Sunshine Stars 3yo Classic at Albion Park on Friday. It was disgraceful. As you will learn later the Stewarding was worse. Grant Dixon trained 6 of the 10 runners in the race. […]
Until tonight I have never had cause to doubt Cameron Hart’s honesty as a driver. But after what I just saw in the 2nd race at Newcastle tonight, I do now. Hart was driving the $1.75 favorite Our Ultimate Jessy, the winner of it past two and the highest rated horse in the field. Jessy […]
(a) The Opening Night Ghost Town Gee that’s a great turnout for the opening night of the World Drivers Championship isn’t it? Brad Steele has done a fine job of drumming up interest and excitement about the series. Not. Brisbane’s Ultimate Drivers Challenge puts it to shame. Not because its a better series with better […]
Trista Dixon is a skilled and experienced trot driver and although I haven’t met her personally is by all reports a very nice person too, so I mean no disrespect to her or criticism of her personally in any way when I say what I am about to say. All I am doing is telling […]
When he is trying Nathan Jack (pictured at top) is one of the finest trot drivers anywhere in the land, a real artist in the cart. Cracker Jack is pretty good when he is not trying too, and therein lies the problem. His father Russell had two runners in the five horse trot race at […]
Rocksie Rock had been backed from $8.00 into $1.80 to win the first race at Penrith last week. It wasn’t pre-race swabbed which I reckon was lucky, because the family have form. The horse didn’t. It had been going ordinary for a while now, about 3 months. There was nothing in its form to suggest […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/nsw/PCM25102506.mp4 Hollywood Strip goes good but when is Portelli, and the others for that matter, going to learn to drive? He was no hope sitting parked outside Hollywood Strip, so why didn’t he go on with it? Keep going and if Hewitt has half a drivers brain he lets him go and then moves to […]
Kiwi import Fitzroy was the heavily backed favorite to win the last race at Albion Park, and with very good reason too for the 2YO had been racing highly competitively against elite company in group class races in New Zealand, and there weren’t any top shelf black type pacers lining up in this race. Punters […]
