Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying

So what did we learn about ID21 tonight in the first round of heats? We learned that every driver in the series is scared of Expensive Ego and King of Swing, and with good reason too. Both McCarthy horses were left to do their own thing in front, and murdered them. King came home in […]
Our Uncle Sam Old stager, was once good, not so now. Has won 3 of 21 in the past year, 2 at Albion Park and 1 at Bathurst. Wow. Zeuss Bromac Talented but injury plagued pacer who has won 1 from 10 this year. Running back into form but is he good enough to be […]
Aphorism Has won 2 out of its last 15, both in Queensland in ordinary time against average horses. Started $151 when running sixth two starts back behind Burnham Boy. Fourth to Swaggie Shannon last start in a rating 95 and below race. Make Mine Memphis Has never won a metro race in town in NSW. […]
Ellmers Image Has won 4 races since May 2019, two at Bathurst, one at Penrith, and one at Albion Park beating Nurburgring. You could do that on foot. Spirit of St Louis Looked a champion in the making when stringing together two strings of hat tricks in NZ last year. Has been lightly raced since coming […]
The striking feature of the final Inter Dominion rankings released yesterday is that Ride High still remains in the field, which is simply madness.

Ray Green has just given an interview after the NZ Cup and declared Copy That as the best horse he has ever trained, better even than King of Swing. That’s some wrap by a man who would know. What a shame that thanks to the Leyland Brothers style programming he’s not coming to the Inter […]
Last night in the Geelong Cup, for the second week in a row, the multiple Group 1 winning US owned Kiwi mare Amazing Dream led and got beaten in a race that she should have won. The week before in the VIC Cup she led in a first half of 58 seconds, which isn’t too […]
The Grand Circuit is the world heavyweight championship of harness racing. It’s fought over seven gruelling rounds of super-elite racing designed to sort the men out from the boys and girls. I’m not using that phrase to be sexist, simply because it is the truth. Just as world women’s heavyweight champ Hanna Gabriels wouldn’t last 10 […]
For the first 19 years of its existence no horse won the Miracle Mile twice. Then in 1986 and 1988 Village Kid did it, and over the next 23 years six others horses did too. Westburn Grant, Chokin, Holmes DG, Sokyola, Be Good Johnny, and Smoken Up. A decade went by until King of Swing […]
