Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Can anyone tell me what Matt Elkins did different in this race at Albion Park yesterday to Angus Garrard than what Garrard did to Elkins in the race that we wrote about at the same track on Saturday night? It looked exactly the same to me. The outcome was different though. No action was taken […]
Luckie Karabitsakos in a Melbourne Cup winning greyhound trainer who has had an enormous amount if success. He is also a performance enhancing substance cheat and a personal user of illicit drugs, which when added to his already volatile character makes him a hothead and a quite difficult cat to deal with. Justice John Bowman […]
Trot trainer Scott Garraway’s horse threw 17 positive swabs to cobalt, with some of the readings as high as 1300 ug/ml, which is extraordinary when you consider that the threshold is 100 ug/ml. What is even more extraordinary is that after his first positives came back from the lab, the trainer was given the option […]
This is bullshit. For the second time in three starts the Cran Dalgety trained All Of Me went like a broken down bus at Alexandra Park last night, finishing tailed out over 100m in last place. A vet exam replete with an endoscopy revealed no obvious issues. They may not be obvious to the vet, […]
I have problems with Stewards whose judgement is so poor that they friend racing licensees on Facebook. In my opinion it shows a clear lack of judgement, and failure to understand clear lines. Alex Streckbein chaired the meeting at Warwick yesterday. He is former Racing Victoria Steward of limited experience, who has obviously been appointed […]
Dashing was the $2.60 favorite to win the 6th race at Albion Park on Saturday night. If he had been driven properly he probably would have won it too. But Nathan Dawson didn’t drive him properly at all. He drove the favorite in a manner that looked for all appearances like he wanted it to […]
The time honored Hobart Cup was run on the 8th of February over 2363m. It was supposed to have been run over 2400m, but the track staff stuffed up and put the starting stalls in the wrong place. The Starter knew about the mistake prior to the jump and told the Chief Steward, but the […]
RACE 5:BROWN FAMILY WINE GROUP BENCHMARK 62 HANDICAP 870 M Correct weight was delayed to allow Stewards to review the start of the race. After viewing the official footage, Stewards found that just prior to the start being effected, DRUMS OF WAR lunged forward, contacting its front gates, which opened marginally earlier prior to the […]
Call me a bad loser, or a cranky old prick, or a dickhead, or whatever you will. But I have had enough of the trots, especially in QLD. I’ve been around the sport my whole life, and have never been opposed to a good old fashioned rort, but dead set this has become too much. […]
The bloke in the video above is leading WA trainer Michael Young. Listen to him as he tells the harness media and the public that his 2 runners won’t be trying in their races at Pinjarra on Monday night. Lovely stuff isn’t it? Fortunately for punters who ignored him or didn’t hear this interview, Young […]
