Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
See that fella aged 50-something walking down Flinders Street in Melbourne with a big grin on his face and his tongue stuck firmly in his cheek? That’s Adam Hamilton. He doesn’t really thing that Jason Grimson is not harness racing’s most amazing trainer. Hamilton is just taking the piss. Just like you and I do, […]
Summit Bloodstock won 4 races at last night’s Hobart Cup meeting, including the big one. Three of them were very recent NZ imports trained by Emma Stewart. I wanna know how she did it. Ben Yole also trained one of Summit’s winners. I wanna know how he did it too. Here are the winners and […]
Jason Grimson has been racing a team in Victoria since the 25th of November. He has started eight horses since that time. All bar three have won. Those two are Majestic Cruiser which ran as a tired horse in the heats of ID22; Sicario, which ran a close second in the Group 2 Bendigo Cup […]
Sicario’s average mile rate over his past 10 starts is is 1.57.0. Three of races that time is calculated on run were over the mile. All but one of the other seven races were at distances of 2240m or below, with the but one being the ID22 Consolation over 2570m. Last night in the 2650m […]
Well now, finally, everyone knows. I went out on a limb 16 months ago and – at the huge risk of being sued and financially destroyed – I declared that Jason Grimson was a dirty low down drug cheat, and a thief, and that he should be thrown out of racing forever. A lot of […]
They say that Jason Grimson was over in New Zealand just before Xmas. He stayed at Mark Jones place. In the week since Grimson left Jones has had 19 starters for 7 wins, 6 seconds, 2 thirds and a 4th. Jones winning strike rate post Grimson’s visit is 37%. His season strike rate is 11.6%. […]
Nathan Weightman was once a very talented harness racing driver. Then he got involved with drugs, and it all fell apart, as it always does in the end. Don’t get me wrong, I am not anti-drugs per se. In fact I like them. But that is at the lower end user level, where they worst […]
You have never seen a Group 1 win in your life like that of the Emma Stewart trained The Lost Storm in the final of Group 1 Vicbred Super Series at Melton last night. Everyone used to think that the Mark Purdon trained Akuta’s 10 length win in the Group 1 two-year-old Harness Jewels at […]
My understanding is that Altrenogest has a greater performance enhancing effect on mares than geldings, Its use on geldings as far as I know is more to quell ‘coltish’ behaviour than to give it a lift. It has a steroid effect on mares. The O’Dea races were 6 months apart, and both races carried lucrative […]
Epitrenbolone is the metabolite of Altrenogest, meaning it’s the same thing Isn’t it ironic that in the same fortnight that Alligator Al takes QRIC and Racing QLD to town and gets the Alligator’s disqualification overturned, the QRIC release it’s decision in the case of trainer Steve O’Dea for exactly the same thing, an Altrenogest positive, […]
