Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Cam Hart is Australia’s best driver. He show why here in heat 1 of the 3rd night of ID23. Hart is on Nerano, 3 back the fence as the video rolls. Look what he does to get his horse out and then in the clear to storm to victory. It was sheer genius. Will Hart […]
Trainer Chantal Turpin had 4 runners in the 5 heats of ID23 last night, each of them driven by her husband Peter ‘Noddy’ McMullen. All 0f them pulled like wounded bulls. These horses don’t usually do that. So what the hell was going on? An inquiry into each of their perf0rmances needs t0 be instituted, […]
One of the great annoyances – and in equal part wasted opportunities – of ID23 is the insistence of race caller Chris Barsby and the support crew of broadcasters in describing runners in the series by their stable names rather than their race names. Leap to Fame has been called Larry, Just Believe has been […]
How is any horse going to beat Just Believe in the final of the ID23 trot? On the evidence of what I have seen throughout the heats, and in particular in the final heat tonight, I don’t think it’s possible. Turpin/Mcmullen’s crazy trotter Gus attacked Just Believe throughout the whole race, making Tubbs/Sugars horse run […]
Twenty-two year ago Daren Garrard contracted a brain tumour that that threatened his life at an early age. He beat it, but received a 2nd blow when the doctors told he and his wife Gayle that they could never have kids. Never say never, for shortly after the miracle happened and 19 years ago Angus […]
There is a vicious rumour sweeping the South East Queensland trot tracks that a prominent, but hitherto rarely successful, Queensland harness racing trainer was caught red handed race day treating one of their runners prior to the 1st round of the ID 23 heats. The horse was allowed to run on the night after the […]
Archie Had a great night at the second round of heats last night….. good crowd…. maybe 400 or so including the “marquee” part. Have to say I find it so unpleasant seeing the former CEO (SS) plonked large as life in front of the tote area with his mate Fowler. It is a really bad […]
We declared Angus Garrard to be the next big thing in racing, an absolute superstar, years ago when he was just 16. Now in the first two rounds of ID23 the Kid has proven us right. There have been three standout drivers in this series so far: Greg Sugars, Cam Hart, and young Garrard himself. […]

We’ve written a couple of articles critical of Michael Stanley’s steering of Rock N Roll Doo in recent months, and here is another one on what was once the southern hemisphere’s biggest stage. Did you see Stanley’s drive on Doo in Heat 1 of ID23 last night? If you did you’ll wish you didn’t, for […]
