Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Our correspondent Albert from Alberton raised the issue of driver Cameron Hart cutting a few corners and breaking the rules by going inside the marker pegs in the Victoria Cup so we thought we would have another look at the race to see if Al was right. He was. You can clearly see in the […]
Call me a cynic if you will, but I have a question. Why did Shane Graham take the horse in the blue to the outside of the leader rather than go inside it up the sprint lane? It wouldn’t have been to give the horse three back the fence Bronski Zulu a free passage through […]
Kingman was a good horse when he was with Emma Stewart. He won 7 from 25 while in her stable including a Tasmanian Derby, and he was in and around it in some of the better class races of his age in Melbourne like the VicBred Super Series. But he wasn’t quite there. Kingman’s form […]
McKendrick was the odds-on favorite to win race 4 at Addington on Wednesday, which was no huge surprise for while its not the strongest horse in the world it was a natural leader drawn in gate 2 and dropping back in class to a race that was very weak. With a slowish beginner drawn inside […]
Yep too slow was what I thought too Mind you I’ve always reckoned Dixon could lose a few pounds…….fat or muscle it’s not doing him any favours……..especially against the lithe bodies of Herbie and the other young gun drivers who also lean back to reduce the wind resistence and take a touch of weight of […]
If you thought Treasure The Moment being beaten at odds-on in a 4 horse field at Caulfield on Saturday was a shock, then you hadn’t seen anything yet. You had to head out an hour west to the trots to see the real deal in the super surprise stakes. Leap To Fame was chasing ten […]
Hall of Fame member and harness racing legend Barry Purdon returns to the cart for his first drive in six years this afternoon at Alexandra Park. Purdon, whose last race drive was way back in 2019, takes the reins on his highly talented but often temperamental 3-year-old square gaiter Higher Power in the fourth race […]
Punters who are planning to take the odds-on about The Lazarus Effect in race 4 at Addington tonight on the basis that it will boot up and hold the lead from gate 1 might want to reconsider their maps. The mail out of the South is that The Lazarus Effect’s driver Bob Butt has done […]
Over the course of the year we have highlighted a number of driver by QLD leading reinsman Nathan Dawson that we believe raise serious questions. Dawson’s drive on Dragon is race 3 at Albion Park yesterday is yet another of them. Dragon began well off the arm and had a look for the lead, but […]
Axel Rose was the odds-on $1.80 favorite to win race 4 today at the Wyndham trots, and with good reason too for it has stepped away well, sat 1-1 early, been taken to the front mid-race and bolted in to win on debut at this track eighteen days ago and looked set to repeat the […]
