Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Drug addicted South Australian reinsman Kenny ‘The Gambler’ Rogers (pictured above) recently recorded his 5th positive swab to being under the influence of drugs – and his fourth for that drug being methamphetamine – at a harness meeting at which he was driving in professional races. Methamphetamine, commonl known as Ice – is utterly illegal […]
Watch the horse out the back in the yellow colors, the one drawn on the outside of the 2nd row from the start, the mark they call the unruly. This is supposed to be a standing start. For that horse it turned out to be a flyer. Since when were they allowed to run at […]
Pete McMullen claims that he felt Turn It Up only challenged his horse Aardie’s Flash for a short distance after the first turn. McMullen was correct, it did. But what about the heated challenge for the first 200 or 300m when Noddy took on the fastest beginner in QLD and held him out, running a […]
I got so excited about the prospect of the gun young up and coming kid Tasymn Potter kicking home a winner for Andy Gath on Outlaw Man at her metropolitan driving debut at Melton tonight that I forget to tell you that she had a second steer too. That one was in race 4, when […]
After steering home 25 winners from her first 240 drives at the provincials, 22-year-old Kyalla horsewoman Tasmyn Potter makes her debut on the big stage in a couple of hours when hops in the cart for her fist metropolitan drive on Outlaw Man in race 1 at Melton. It’s a fitting start in two ways […]
New Zealand harness racing is quite distinct from that in Australia, in that the Kiwis put on races restricted to amateur drivers at TAB meetings, whereas over the ditch the amateurs are confined to driving in non-TAB races at the carnivals and shows, which given their skill levels – and with no knock to any […]
Jack Callaghan slaughtered Spirit Of St Louis in the Nullarbor last week by not handing up to Hot And Treacherous, and last night in the Fremantle Cup he pulled a similar kill job on that horse in reverse. Happy Jack obviously hadn’t done his form properly, and didn’t realise that if Pinny Tiger got to […]
GENERAL Reinsperson Ken Rogers stood down under R250(3) pending the analysis of the saliva sample taken after his initial saliva test was reported as non-negative. As reported on the night repeat offender Kenny ‘The Gambler’ Rogers has thrown another positive swab to meth. He rolled the dice on not getting caught, and lost. Addiction is […]
Take a look at this race 4 at Cambridge last night and tell me that Maurice McKendry on the horse in the green and white colours was trying to beat the winner. I don’t think so. McKendry was trying to get it beaten so that the unofficial stablemate and favorite driven by the octogenarian Dr […]
Ellen Tormey did a George Moore by blowing the whistle and never having to go around horse until the straight in race 5 at Mildura last night. Don’t you wish you could be this lucky with every horse you backed that firmed from $12.00 into $4.00? True Mildura style.
