Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Can anyone please explain why the Albion Park Stewards allowed Adam Richardson to drive Richard Hutchinson’s runner in race 4 on Tuesday instead of driving one of the two starters that his wife Alanah had in the race? To take the question further, can anyone tell us why the Stewards didn’t charge Richardson with the […]
Adam Hamilton has penned an opinion piece published on harness.org.au arguing for owner and trainers colors to be abandoned, and replaced by drivers wearing their own signature silks in every race no matter what horse they drive. The basis of Adman’s argument is that it is the drivers who are the stars of harness racing, […]
What a wonderful success the Ultimate Drivers Championship was on every level. The crowds came back to Albion Park, the series gained free publicity around the world, and the buzz around the UDC was palpable. This was reflected in the most important statistic of all, the betting turnover. For the sake of the exercise we […]
What a brilliant concept the Ultimate Drivers Championship (UDS) truly is. When is the last time we ever saw crowds at Albion Park on a Friday night like we did yesterday? Never in this century is the answer. Much like the half million dollar Protostar slot race for 2yo’s the UDC has attracted huge interest […]
A week ago we told you that we didn’t quite believe the official reason for a trotter named Tedesco blowing from odds on out to $4.40 and getting beaten. Our view was that it got rolled because of the David Moran drive. I reckon we were right too. Last night Tedesco was backed from $2.50 […]
Remember our story The Sussest Race in the World, in which we told you a couple of weeks ago about the rort the Reece Moore stable pulled to get their odds-on favorite beaten by one of the stablemates in a race in which Moore had four of the six runners? The odds on fave that […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/nsw/PCM15022509.mp4 Did you think G. Hall Jr’s drive on Henrik Larsson at Northam was a favorite killer? Then how about this one by Brad Hewitt on The Locomotive at Menangle. The Locomotive is the reigning Inter Dominion champion racing a bunch of plodders rated up to 52 national ratings points lower in class than himself. […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/wa/NMC15022504.mp4 Take a look at the drive of Gary Hall Jr on the$1.30 favorite Henrik Larson at Northam on Saturday night. It was the greatest dead ‘un you will ever see (until you see the next one). Hall Jr just flopped the shortie out of the gates and landed it out the back at the […]
Was David Moran actually trying on Tedesco in this race at Shepparton on Tuesday night? It didn’t look like it, that’s for sure. Tedesco is the horse with the gun run behind the leader. It has blown like a gale in the betting, out from $1.95 to $4.40. We soon see why. The sprint lane […]
Good Afternoon Archie, In your story on the weekend you called the last race at Port Pirie the sussest race of the year. I would argue that the Boat race of the year was in the 6th at Albany on Friday night as you highlighted in your story. Note how many stewards in attendance? Just […]
