Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Everyone in the world knows that Zac Lloyd is brilliant, but he needs to pull his head in big time, before he puts someone down. How many suspensions has Z. Lloyd had now for careless riding? I’ve lost count, but it’s a lot. Yet still he continues on, riding in breach of the rules and […]
I can’t quite work out what went on here in the 7th race at Newcastle yesterday.. So I will have a guess. Summit Bloodstock and Aaron Bain had 2 horses in the race. Dollarsign was trained and driven by Brad Elder, Baker Creek was trained by Darren Elder and driven by Blake Hughes. Baker Creek […]
The bets were on, and now it was time to go. They score up behind the mobile and the first thing we see is that the horse who has been backed from $7.50 into $4.80 in the final seconds of betting Dollarsign is in a muck lather of sweat. Horses who sweat like that before […]
After trying twice to get to the lead and give him a sit, Lleyton Green has realised that Blake Hughes on Baker Creek is either a lunatic or driving a drugged up horse or both, and has resigned himself to a trip spent in the breeze. Green takes hold of Pikarso, and when he does […]
Funny things happen in racing. At the trots drivers who can’t count time sometimes make them happen. And irony abounds. Blake Hughes went too fast on Baker Creek in the 3rd quarter, even with whatever drugs were in it. He stuffed it up. The hot horse kicked on and lead until the last 30 metres, […]
The whispers are that Matt Tripp’s company Betr stands to lose an absolute fortune if Penrith win the NRL Grand Final this year, a possibility that is looking more and more likely by the minute. Some of the figure quoted about Betr’s liability on the Panthers from Tripp’s hare brained $10 at 100-1 odds promotion […]
The rule is very clear isn’t it? A driver is not allowed to talk to anyone other than an official once they are on the track. That includes during the running of a race. Got it? Now watch this. Driver Bernie Hewitt in the white with red clearly turns his head and talks to Taleah […]
Want to know why the favorite Pereille got beaten in the last at the Valley yesterday? It wasn’t due to the track bias, or because of Blake Shinn’s ride either. Like you I blamed both, and was cursing each of them too. But we were both wrong. When I watched the replay I noticed something, […]
