Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Wanna see a great drive? An absolute masterclass? Then look no further than Luke McCarthy’s winning drive on Steno at Albion Park tonight. It was sheer perfection, and in quite unexpected circumstances too. Drivers steer. Maestro’s adapt and perfect. Luke McCarthy is the leader of the orchesta. Just have a look and see. https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/qld/APM27062608.mp4
Relying on information from a usually 100 percent reliable source, we told you yesterday that the QRIC had challenged the QCAT by appealing the decision to allow Greg Bennett back into the trots. That was wrong. It was another matter entirely that the QRIC challenged. Their appeal against the Racing Appeal Panels decision in the […]
What on earth type of drive was this by Grant Dixon on the favorite Aladdin Sane in the 2nd race at Albion Park on Tuesday afternoon? Dixon had the 1-1, a position from where Aladdin would have won the race. But instead of staying in the plum position he took the $3.20 favorite to four […]
It’s not often that you see Luke McCarthy get his pants pulled down on a trot track, but in race three at Menangle on Saturday night we did. Luke was driving the Kiwi superstar Marketplace for the first time in a race. Marketplace is a horse who excels when sit sprinting, and is equally as […]
Regular readers will know that long ago we tagged Nathan Jack with the nickname Cracker, as in Cracker Jack. Well tonight Cracker was in the cart of a Kiwi import named after him. Crackerjack it was called of course. Cracker drove Crackerjack to win. I backed it at $8.00. It firmed into $4.40. Onya you […]
Sydney’s leading trot trainer Jason Grimson has a very busy long and highly unusual couple of days ahead of him. First today he makes the 11 hour drive from Menangle or 2 hour plane flight from Mascor (cost circa $500) to Mildura our near the South Australian border to take just one drive tonight, that […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/wa/GPC02062610.mp4 This is race 6 at Gloucester Park last night. Number 3 Strike Force has been backed late from $15.00 into $7.50, and according to our mail from the corporates has been coupled up in multis and exotics for plenty. Kyle Harper drives it. He is the son of the multiple disqualified cheat Lindsay Harper. […]
Race 5 at the Pinjarra trots this afternoon. The 8 American Eyes is unbeaten in 4 starts and looks like a real good horse in the making. It blows from $1.65 out to $2.10. The 10 horse Captain Said So looked like a good horse earlier on its career, but has finished a pair of […]
I was researching a story about this year’s Rising Sun, and came back upon the past. Which caused me to ask this question. Have you ever seen a greater team drive in a big race than this one by Grant and Trista? Natalie and Mark pulled some beauties in their day, and so have Luke […]
Can anyone tell me what Matt Elkins did different in this race at Albion Park yesterday to Angus Garrard than what Garrard did to Elkins in the race that we wrote about at the same track on Saturday night? It looked exactly the same to me. The outcome was different though. No action was taken […]
