Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
42.8! That’s ridiculous! A ridiculous lead time. That is the fastest for trotters by a furlong, and these are 2YO Fillies! Dan Milecki wasn’t wrong. Brad Williamson went mental in the Group 1 Breeders Crown 2YO fillies trot on the Kiwi Aroha Kenny (it means Love Kenny, which it’s driver didn’t). He took the favourite […]
There is good reason that kiwi harness race drivers Blair Orange and Samantha Ottley won’t be competing at the Wyndham meeting on Sunday. The loved up pair are using the voucher the Orange man won for topping the Southern Driving list last year to take a well-deserved holiday together, or at least that’s how the […]
A portrait of a drug taking, woman bashing, fraudster and coward as a young man Matthew ‘Matt’ Anderson is a drug dealing violent offender who once bashed and choked a woman he claimed to love, leaving her covered in bruises and cowering in fear of her life. In June 2020 he was convicted of assault […]
Former harness racing trainer Matt Anderson is a criminal and a woman basher who in July 2020 was found guilty in a judge alone trial of assaulting a woman and intentionally impeding her breathing by strangulation, which in other words means that the lowlife piece of shit bashed and choked the poor woman, in her […]
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 […]
