Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
There is a bit of a problem with how race 7 at Albion Park on Friday was run. A lot of a problem actually. Trainer Dan Russell had 2 horses in the race. One was Sharp Shooter, driven by Matt Elkins. The other was Heartbreak, driven by his ever loving spouse Narissa McMullen. Sharp Shooter […]
Watch what Dylan Edgerton-Green does on the horse on the leader’s back. You can’t do that. It’s mad, bad and dangerous you know, and a huge violation of the rules. This bloke should not better. Actually, he does. I strongly suspect Dylan Edgerton-Green is about to be sent on an early winter’s holiday. If he […]
I don’t know about you, but I don’t believe Sydney’s leading reinsman Cameron Hart tried very hard on the new addition to the J. Grimson stable Brevity in this race. In fact it’s my opinion that he didn’t really try at all. Brevity is the one back in last place in the blue and gold […]
Young driver Phoebe Betts has breached the rules quite a few times in recent months. At first I just put it down to inexperience and youthful enthusiasm, but it just keeps happening so often that now I’m no longer sure. Betts escaped a suspension for hocking last week when the camera angles supposedly couldn’t display […]
Yesterday we published an article critical of both driver Shannon Suvaljko’s winning salute on Caveman in a race at Gloucester Park on Friday night, and of the Stewards for not taking action against him. At the time we were unaware of the circumstances of the salute, they being that Suvaljko had just been informed that […]
You may find this hard to believe, but it is true. Whether it’s straight and true is another question all together. At his past 51 drives for the Emma Stewart stable, reinsman Mark Pitt has driven 38 winners. That’s a winning strike rate of 75%, or three of every four. This isn’t a fluke streak; […]
Kyal Costello is Victorian Harness racing driver. In the space of 4 months he placed bets in 24 races in which he was competing. Let’s just hope that he backed his own horses. If he didn’t, then Mr Cosello would be well advised to find himself a new hobby. We won’t be seeing him at […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/vic/MXM14052203.mp4 Just have a look at this will you. Start the video from the 600 mark. It’s the horse on the leader’s back (Kerryn Manning), and the one behind her (Emmett Brosnan) that you need to watch. Look at what Brosnan’s horse is doing to her. What the hell? Why didn’t he grab the reins […]
Not only is Emma Stewart the greatest trot trainer ever to roam the earth, her partnership with formerly convicted and disqualified match cheat (overturned on appeal) sulky jockey Mark Pitt is the greatest trainer/driver combo in the long history of the harness racing sport. Together the pair have won 37 of their last 55 starts, […]
I want you to take a look at this replay of the run down the stretch in the Listed Sires Stakes at Addington last night, and pay particular attention to the breach of the whip rules by Mark Purdon on the 2nd placed horse Cyrus, the horse in the blue and white coming three-wide. Did […]
