Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Kowhai Shadow is a Kiwi pacing mare that until a week ago had started 46 times over three seasons and only won twice, both on the grass. One of them was at downtown Amberley, the little town of 1800 famous for building a statue of war hero Charles Upham outside the council building, even though […]
For a long time now we have been telling you that it takes three weeks to get a horse up and going on a three-pronged drug cheating regime that transforms them from a camel into Superman. It used to be three and a half weeks, but the synthetic EPO formula has been tweaked, and now […]
The seeming conga line of crooks who were caught red handed by the FBI giving themselves up talking openly about their corrupt and utterly disgraceful criminal horse doping deeds has had yet another dancer join the queue of dirty, low dogs snaking their way straight to jail, without collecting $200 or passing go. Who needs […]
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; […]
Jeff Gural owns and operated the world famous Meadowlands Paceway. He is the man responsible for driving the FBI to investigate drug cheating in racing. As we all know, they have had a huge amount of success, and many of dopers and dope sellers who defraud their colleagues, the punters, and the sport are now […]
The core principles of horse doping are like the wheel. They never change, and there is no need to reinvent them. The only thing you gotta do is tweak the solution to evade racing’s testing regimes. That, and to make sure that you don’t gab on the phone. This is further testimony from the 2012 […]
We passed on the Guru from NZ’s tip to you last night, and lo and behold it landed the chocolates. This man is a genius. Khal Drogo had finished 2nd last, last, last and 2nd last at it’s previous five starts before today. It’s average beaten margin across all five was more than 12 lengths. […]
Corrupt US vet Louis Grasso has rolled over and pleaded guilty to his role in producing and distributing drugs to cheating trainers to dope their horses with. The indictment of Grasso is very interesting indeed, and provides us with a short, sharp lesson in how to dope a gallops or harness racing horse. There are […]
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, […]
The 47 time winning open class pacer Mark Dennis had until last night held the 1800m track record at Globe Derby for five and a half years. He ran a mile rate of 1.53.5 in setting the mark. Encipher is a very, very talented 3-year-old filly trained by Emma Stewart. But she’s still a three-year-old […]
