Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
When he is trying Nathan Jack (pictured at top) is one of the finest trot drivers anywhere in the land, a real artist in the cart. Cracker Jack is pretty good when he is not trying too, and therein lies the problem. His father Russell had two runners in the five horse trot race at […]
The heavy sentences imposed on licensees by HRNSW continue without pause, with trot trainer Jarred Hetherington the latest to fall victim to the Hanging State. Hetherington’s racing ‘crime’ was, like trainer Rye yesterday, one of his horses throwing a positive swab to cobalt. The threshold for cobalt is 100 ug/L (micrograms per litre) of the […]
We continue to receive information that unlicensed trainer Todd Austin is preparing at least 7 horses at the Barcaldine track, and that he is doing it out of a car so he is not visible and can drive off undetected if by chance the Stewards unexpectedly arrive during trackwork hours. Those that know say that […]
You didn’t really expect the stewards to penalise Cam for running over a few pegs in the Vic Cup did you? They didn’t penalise him for hocking Swayzee in the Hunter Cup remember, so why start now? That was also blatantly obvious on the video. https://peterprofit.com/exclusive-cam-hart-hocks-swayzee-to-victory-in-the-a-g-hunter-cup/ It would seem Cam Hart can do no wrong […]
Our correspondent Albert from Alberton raised the issue of driver Cameron Hart cutting a few corners and breaking the rules by going inside the marker pegs in the Victoria Cup so we thought we would have another look at the race to see if Al was right. He was. You can clearly see in the […]
We wrote a couple of days ago about how disappointed we were that the standard of Stewarding at the trots in QLD hadn’t improved since Neil Finnigan assumed the role of Chief Steward, and the total inaction taken about a number of horses that galloped at yesterday’s Marburg all trot meeting reinforces our fears. Let […]
Call me a cynic if you will, but I have a question. Why did Shane Graham take the horse in the blue to the outside of the leader rather than go inside it up the sprint lane? It wouldn’t have been to give the horse three back the fence Bronski Zulu a free passage through […]
In a move that will shock no-one who reads this site, Tasracing has today terminated the employment of recently appointed Thoroughbred Chief Steward Martin Knibbs. As we reported on the day Knibbs – formerly a Senior Steward in QLD – was still in his probationary period when he arrived at the track to officiate at […]
Disqualified jockey Luke Tarrant has posted on social media denying that he either failed to make submissions to a Stewards Inquiry into the legitimacy of his Health Assessment Reports or make a plea on charges laid against him as stated by the QRIC Stewards. The Stewards found that during a Stewards’ Inquiry conducted at Doomben […]
Tasmanian jockey Jackson Radley has won his appeal against a 2-meeting suspension imposed for careless riding after it was discovered that his offence record the Stewards used as the basis for determining his penalty was wrong. Radley’s record showed that he had two previous convictions for careless riding, nut he didn’t. Both of them had […]
