Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Seriously, this Sergeant Joe Conolly needs to go a bit easier on the spike if he want to avoid the attention of the authorities and the heat, because this is just getting crazy. Golden Year is a seven-year-old pacer who hasn’t won a race at its past ten starts. The fastest winning time that it […]
Cruz Bromac won as predicted all right, and they even bet you $2.00 on the Vic Tote. I was wrong about the time though. Our guess was 1.51.9. He actually ran 1.51.3, six-tenths quicker. It was the fastest time he has run in years. No doubt he will be breaking the 1.50 mark next time […]
Million-dollar earner Cruz Bromac will make his debut for the Jason Grimson stable at Menangle today. The former Victorian pacer was previously trained by Dean Braun and prior to that Mark Purdon in New Zealand. Having collected $1,060,645 in stakes throughout his career, Cruz Bromac spent more than a year away from the racetrack and […]
Here is another fascinating Steve Dolan/John Curtin combo pacer. This time the horse is not sired by Auckland Reactor, but by his father Mach Three instead. Same line, same genes, same blood, same cells, once removed. Tall Poppy is this pacers name. The other differences are that she is a mare, and that Steve Dolan […]
I am buggered if I know who the horse trainer Jack Brown is. All I know about the bloke is: (a) He trained his first winner in 2013 (b) From 139 starters in a decade, Brown has trained just 9 winners (c) Jackie boy’s strike rate is 6% (d) On Saturday he raced a horse […]
The combination of growth hormone (GH) and recombinant erythropoietin (rEPO) is thought to be used particularly in endurance sports. Our objective was to reproduce a 2-week administration of rEPO microdoses alone or in combination with GH microdoses (three times a week) on healthy and athletic male subjects and to evaluate if GH had any additional […]
Here is the bowled Steve Dolan, caught John Curtin hat trick. This time it is an Auckland Reactor gelding called Atomic Blast. He is a bit different from the other pair of Love the Blues and Team Kiwi, in that Dolan trains him from the start of his career. They back him off the map […]
Love the Blues was a slow horse, like many pacers are before international bloodstock agent John Curtin and his friend and trainer Steve Dolan get their hands on them. In 18 starts the Auckland Reactor gelding had won just a single race, a lowly affair at Invercargill way back in March 2020. A brief interlude […]
Team Kiwi was a fair pacer up until the 7th of June 2020, but not a great one. Up until that date the gelding had raced 20 times for three win, The first 2 had been at his 2nd and 3rd career starts fifteen months before, in lowly races at Wyndham and Invercargill in the […]
A levamisole swab is a pretty easy issue for a Stewards panel to deal with. You horse has thrown a positive to a banned drug that has no threshold, because you are not allowed to use it all. It is a strict liability offence, meaning that you are guilty. Boom. Six month suspension. But Turbo […]
