Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Sometimes when I spot a blatant cheat in a race, my deep but healthy dose of cynicism about all things punt and racing leads me to look for the immediate dollar outcome rather than the one next week. That’s what I did when I wrote that Rod Lakey must have taken a First 4 when […]
Have a look at this race will you. In particular have a close look at the drive on the horse 3 back the fence in the black. Watch it closely over the last 100m, and keep one eye fixed firmly on the driver Rodney Laker. Why did Lakey do that? There can only be one […]
24 October 2011 Brent Barclay does exactly what Tim Williams did in a race at Tuapeka. He loses the race on protest and is suspended for four drives. 18 February 2022 John Dunn’s horse crosses a marker peg in the approach to the lane. He is fined $200. 25 February 2022 Blair Orange crosses to […]
We have written a few times about our concerns that driver Tim Williams is getting an inside run from the Racing Integrity Board Stewards by virtue of the fact that his father Brent Williams is a member of the Board, and therefore in effect the stipes ultimate boss. It happened again in the big Group […]
Can anyone tell me how Adam Sanderson – who was 3 back the fence in the white with maroon – could have safely moved from the rail into the moving line? Sure he could have pushed out, but is that something that was in the best interests of the driver outside him? I doubt it. […]
One of the curious anomalies with the betting markets on Jockey and Driver Challenges is that there are no deductions applied for scratchings. What I mean by that is if you back a horse to win a race at evens and it is pulled out at the barrier you cop massive deductions off the face […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/nsw/CBC09102211.mp4 I think that Josh Gallaghern drove the drifting favourite Dream Inception as dead as a doornail in race 7 at Canberra on Sunday. It’s the horse in the light blue and white that leads and then hands up. If Dosh Josh was trying, then why didn’t he pull Dream Inception wide on the back […]
VIC – Stewards Supplementary Report Mildura – 1 July 2022 RACE 7 – TASCO PETROLEUM PACE (1790 MS) Stewards initially adjourned an inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the winner of the event Budd Sidewinder being able to obtain a run to the inside of the leader Sammys Ideal (Ashleigh Markham) inside the final 200m. During […]
My grandma used to say that cleanliness was next to godliness. I guess that means N. Jack isn’t. Shine your boots son. You’re being watched around the world.
This race is hot. Amanda Turnbull trains and drives the favourite Iam The Captain. It’s a good horse, resuming from a spell. The market doesn’t want it. It blows from $2.50 out to $3.70. She hooks it back off the gate into the line, and could sit 1-2 on her brother Nathan’s back. Instead AJ […]
