Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
SOHO RHAPSODY Stewards questioned driver Rickie Alchin with regards to the tactics he adopted in the early and latter stages of the event, whereby he was unable to hold his spot in the running line upon entry to the first turn and elected to steer his runner down the track upon entry to the home […]
JALANEEL– Became unbalanced and broke gait during the middle stages of the score up and was out of position at the start. JALANEEL trailed the field by a considerable distance for the remainder of the event. The hopples of JALANEEL were measured and were found to be within an accepted tolerance. A warning was placed on JALANEEL. Yeah he indeed […]
I have no idea what the driver of the horse in the 1-1 Jonny Cox was thinking when he turned a repeatedly punched the horse behind him in this race, but I am sure he will have plenty of time to reflect on his actions as he serves what should be a lengthy suspension or […]
We move on to race 2. Ben Yole has two runners here. Someone in HRV is slipping the stable the nominations in advance so they can manipulate the preferential draws, a practice that we have been telling you about for a long time. I hope you believe us now. Walters drives Safe Jewels. It draws […]

Apparently the 80-something year old driver nicknamed the Russian (even though he is not) John Stariha strayed off the fence in the back straight because he had the sun in his eyes and it was hard to see. Yeah right. Stariha was wearing tinted goggles and the track looked to me to be shaded from […]
I don’t think Brent Mangos overly appreciated being out-driven by Nicky Chilcott in the 7th ace at Cambridge last Thursday night. It looks to me like he was particularly aggrieved at being slammed back in when he tried to take Chilcott’s running. Bad luck buster. You should learn to drive better. And to stop acting […]
I dunno what Sailesh Abernethy is on about, but I do reckon Brad Reid might have understated things a bit. Natalie Rasmussen is not just the best ever female to sit in a sulky cart world-wide, she is the best driver in the world full stop. And also probably the best trainer, even though Mark […]
“Anything that gets a soft run in front like that is hard to beat. You can’t grow wings and fly.” Blair Orange, driver of Copy That, after his defeat at the hands of Self Assured last night.
