Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
What about his left boot sir! Jack ‘Turbo’ Trainer is like the girl in the ZZ Top song. He’s got legs, and he knows how to use them. He’s got legs, and knows how to bruise them. Poor old Krug copped a good right boot in the back end on the home turn on the […]
Alright. Watch this. You are looking at the horse on the inside, the one in the maroon and white. Jack ‘Turbo’ Trainor is it’s driver. Watch his foot. And while you are doing so, ask yourself whether horses deserve to be kicked hard to make them run faster, or least as fast as they can […]
Mark Jones comes from a long line of royalty in New Zealand harness racing, although you would never know it. His grandfathers Derek Jones and Reg Stockdale, and his father Peter Jones are legends of the game. Jones’s cousins Anthony and Tim Butt are too. The difference between cousin 1 and Jones though is that […]
Nathan Jack has been out of harness racing for a long time, for so long now that I have forgotten how long it actually is. Let’s just say forever. It doesn’t really matter anymore, for N. Jack is back. Mach. Big time. The man who was not that long ago reviled by many – including […]
There is some justice in this world after all. Trainer Peter Greig had two runners in the 4th race at Redcliffe tonight. La Pistola was the 3rd favourite at $6.00. PO. Greig drove it. Its stablemate Royal Princess was 2nd favourite at $4.80. Noddy (Pete McMullen) had the reins on that one. The favourite was […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/nsw/PCC15022201.mp4 I did my best to tip you into the winner of race 6 at Menangle yesterday, and I hope you listened, for if you did you will be three times richer right now than you were 24 hours ago. The smart readers like Putt Mad Peter are, that’s for sure. They’ve showed me the […]
Watch driver Bruce Harpley on the leader here. See him look around on the turn, inside and out. Look at him pull the whip. Bruce thinks it’s the last lap. He’s going for home. But they are only at the bell. There’s still a lap to go! Harpley tells the Stewards that he knew what […]
Poor Emily Suvaljko. She thought she was home 20 metres out from the finish of Perth’s richest and most prestigious race the WA Cup, and in a rush of premature excitement she turned to the camera and the stand and gave the world the raised whip twirl salute in celebration. You know what thought thought […]
If you see Jack ‘Turbo’ Trainor walking toward you down the street this week, cross to the other side. At the moment this bloke is just pure bad luck. On Saturday night at Menangle he drove the $1.20 tote favourite Tungsten Terror in the 4th race. It was a funny betting race this one, for […]
Gee, I wonder why the Stewards are looking at G. Hall Junior’s whip use. He’s the one in the yellow and blue one off the fence in the death. I suspect little Gaz may have breached the whip rule. How about you?
