Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
I remember being at the APG Menangle yearling sale in 2029 back when they’d still have me watching Grant Dixon and Kevin Seymour buy just two lots, both of them cheap, one of them the last lot of the day. The first lot was Tims A Trooper, who Mr Seymour AM bought for just $17 […]
It’s hard to believe that there is a better trotter in the world than our ID23 winner Just Believe, but there are a few, principal among them the French square gaiter Hohneck who won the Elitloppet. All I can see is that the frog must be some sort of trotter, for on the strength of […]
What a win best horse in the country. I’m rapt for Kevin and Kay, they have put so much into harness racing. Also I will never forget how certain people at Albion Park did the wrong thing by him. Great result tonight I’d love to be a fly on the wall in the committee room. […]
Archie needs to say sorry In fact I demand he apologises for what was the best drive, on the best horse, not only at Albion Park but Australian harness racing has ever seen. He absolutely towelled them. Leap was sweating up a treat, just itching to attack like a caged lion. He not only had […]
Dylan Edgerton-Green showed us all how to drive the best horse in the race in the 1st at Gloucester Park. Zephyra is a triple Group 1 winner as a 2-year-old who had only one once in it’s 3yo year off a long break. She was drawn the outside of the 2nd row in 12 in […]
What sort of nutcase programming is this? The ID23 Pacing final is being run at 5.50pm after three lead in races beginning at 4.22pm while the gallops are hitting their final straps, and then there is a gap of two and a half hours until the Trotting final at 8.22pm. This is nuts. We told […]
On Monday the former Albion Park Chairman David Fowler revealed on his radio program The Press Room that the Inter Dominion final in December has been scheduled to start at 5.55 in the afternoon. If true – and I have no doubt that Fowler’s mail is good – then this is seeming madness. Why on […]
You hear a lot about Just Believe and I am a believer. He looks an outright certainty to win from that draw. There’s only a couple of lengths at most between the top 4 but he holds all the aces from his gate. Sugars will control the race from the outset and just win. I […]
Gareth Hall has it all wrong. Grant Dixon won’t be trying to shoot Leap To Fame out off the arm and over to the lead. With both Grimson’s horses drawn inside him it would be madness. Dixon either takes the death early or sits back in the line, probably the latter, and from their he […]
Didn’t we say that Turbo would sneak up and slip into the ID23 series final, with a serious chance to win? I do believe that we did. Now here he is, and he’s going to win the big one. Turnitup belts out off tge gates and leads. Turbo kicks up and holds his back, for […]
