Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Watch what Grant Dixon does here on Leap To Fame immediately after the starter releases the mobile arm and lets the field go. Dixon knows that Leap To Fame doesn’t have the gate speed to hold the lead from his pole draw, and knows that the horse who does Turnitup will take a sit as […]
Earlier in the week we told you about Chantal Turpin’s trotter Top Of The Moment’s atrocious record of galloping in races, and explained to you why he shouldn’t have been allowed to race in the Group 1 Trotter’s Cup last night, as under the usual practice the Stewards should have stood the horse down. You […]
Top Of The Moment is a talented but temperamental trotter trained by Chantal Turpin who has galloped in 9 of his 26 starts, or 35% of his races. The horse has been stood down from racing twice after galloping within 3 starts after being placed on its last chance to race truly after galloping in […]

A couple of weeks ago we told you story of Mondello Beach, a winner at the Newcastle trots that wasn’t eligibe to run in the race because it hadn’t competed in the mandatory trial required in NSW for horses who hadn’t a start for more than days. It appears that the connections of the runner-up […]
Watch the replay of race 3 at Grafton on Sunday. Keep your eyes on the horse on the inside in these colours and the one on its outside in these ones . See how they jostle in the straight? The finish is a close photo but the one in the red black and yellow flashes […]
What is it with young female jockeys in Toowoomba and taking mobile phones into the riders room in breach of the rules? Last week it was Tahlia Fenton and Alisha Donald. This week it’s Shania Willis and Olivia Webb. Willis took her phone into the room despite having been afforded two opportunities to hand it […]
Frankie Ferocious wasn’t the only Jason Grimson trained horse that failed miserably at Albion Park last night. Hot and Treacherous totally bombed out too, with the triple Menange winner who started favorite in the million dollar Nullarbor slot race at Gloucester Park in April performing miserably in the Mr Feelgood behind Leap To Fame to […]
For months Frankie Ferocious was odds-on favorite to win last night’s Group 1 Rising Sun at Albion Park, and given his victories in the Group 2 Victorian 4YO Bonanza in the summer and the Group 1 Chariots of Fire in the autumn, so he should have been. In fact on those performances his right price […]
