Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/qld/UGB30032509.mp4 Why did Leonard Cain, the driver of the favorite Royal Winkle, not kick up from barrier 1 and hold the lead? Does Cain know that in the past 12 months horses that lead from barrier 1 on the small, tight 700 meter track at Marburg have won almost twice as many races as horses […]
I know its a bit late to criticize a jockey’s ride last weekend, but I have been waiting for someone to say something about Josh Parr’s ride on Shezanalister in the last at Rosehill on Saturday and no-one has, so we will. Parr slaughtered Shezanalister. The Bjorn Baker trainer horse should have won by panels. […]
The Stewards have some concerns with this ride by Andrew Mallyon on the favorite Rose of Mytrle in the 7th race at Doomben yesterday. Have a look at the replay and see if you can see why? Mallyon is in the maroon silks with white cap, on the fence. The Stewards are concerned in particular […]
The Queensland Stewards yesterday reconvened a delayed inquiry into the form reversal showed by a Tom Hedley owned, Steven Massingham trained galloper named Flying Artist when it won over 1000m at Cluden Park on the 13th of December last year. Flying Artist had been appalling at its three previous starts after a spell, finishing 11th […]
You need to watch this one twice to get it. The back marker is a horse called Efficiently, trained and driven by a small-timer named Des Nolan, with whom I am not familiar. He certainly doesn’t drive much, or I would be. I’m not sure if it was Nolan’s money or others, but Efficiently has […]
Below is the Stewards report into Collective Works disqualification from its win in Sunday’s Boort Cup (see earlier story). What is quite amazing about the whole thing is that while the horse was disqualified because its driver Ewa Justice broke the rules, Justice herself was not charged with any offence despite having already been ruled […]
Paul Tonkin (no relation to Peter or Clayton) is a small-time trot trainer from Victoria who from time to time crosses the border to race his tiny team at Wagga in New South Wales. Tonkin suffers from chronic pain resulting from injuries he suffered in a car accident some years ago, and is dependent on […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/qld/APM01032502.mp4 QLD Stewards have opened and adjourned an inquiry into Nathan Dawson’s drive on Momentum Swing in the first race at Albion Park last night, and with excellent cause too for at first glance the leading reinsman’s actionz looked highly suspect to say the very least. Momentum Swing quickly found the 1-1 position on the […]
The whispers that there is some funny business going on with certain drivers at Albion Park have reached a crescendo in the past couple of weeks since former rails bookie at the gallops turned professional punter/layer on Betfair Lindsay Gallagher was banned by Stewards from entering the birdcage and stabling area at the track during […]
Dear Archie Recent news is that Wade Birch has resigned his position with Racing New South Wales greyhounds and advised his department that he is relocating back to Qld. However he does not have a job to come back to yet. Few jobs going though that he might slot into…. Noel from Narrabri Editor’s note […]
