Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The world’s most reinvigorated and reinvented pacer Dibaba was looking for her tenth win in a row since moving to the Turbo Trainor barn last night at Penrith, but with sheep dip so in demand that the shelves have been stripped bare it was not to be. Turbo almost pulled off the magic ten picket […]
Well, here you are. Turbo’s thrown a positive to the steroid levamisole, aka banned in horses sheep dip/drench (as opposed to a milkshake drench – I prefer to sip mine myself). Not personally swabbed up[ – that’s still to come, and it ain’t roids – but his horse has thrown one. Chubby Checker to be […]
On 11 April trainer Ben Yole turned out 40 of the 74 runners in the seven races out of nine on the card that he contested at the Launceston Trots. Despite this huge numerical advantage, Yole won just 3 of the 7 races. Yole had 28 of the 36 starters in races 6-8. Only 1 […]
I guess it is no surprise to learn that Ellmer’s Hoofing It has been scratched from race 4 at Globe Derby tonight. Ellmer’s owner and trainer have a bit on their plate at the moment, although not much in their bowl. Dennis that is scratched from Race 5’s connections are in the same boat. Oh, […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/nsw/PEC08042103.mp4 There is no man in the world training better than Jumping Jason Grimson at the moment. Or getting better results anyway. Jumping says its his genius, cynics say its the gear, the rainforest lawyers say don’t offer any more opinions on the matter, so I won’t. We will just stick to the facts. Kerry […]
Kerry Ann Morris. Scott Wade. Paul Russo. Come on down. Here, have a 5 year disqualification. No arguments. You were all told. It is not negotiable. Five years you cheats. You are cactus. Cop that!
This is not a real good look for harness racing in NSW is it? Horses trained by the number two and three trainers on the State premiership ladder Kerry Ann Morris and Amanda Jennifer Turnbull have both thrown positive swabs after winning races. A horse trained by Paul Russo – who only still holds a […]
Something is wrong with harness racing in Queensland right now, wretchedly wrong indeed. You can see it just by looking at Grant Dixon’s results this year. The man we call Moses has won the past 6 metropolitan trainers premierships in a row. This year Moses has trained just 4 metro winners from 84 starters, at […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/qld/APC16022114.mp4 I get really sick of trainers and training teams that I believe are cheating both us punters and their professional rivals by breaking the rules of racing. Why can’t these people just be honest? If they are going to do something naughty to a horse, what’s the problem with telling us all? Obviously the […]
Ben Yole is untouchable in Tasmania. He gets done, the fields drop by a third. That means that the races do too. If the number of races drop, harness racing is rooted. That’s what the authorities believe. It is not true. No man is an island unto himself. Did Victorian racing end when Darren Weir […]
