The coat of arms of the Duchy of Cornwall Earlier this year Shartin’s part-owner Richard Poillucci of North Eastern, Massachusetts paid $500 000 to buy a 3-year-old South Island Kiwi pacer named Duke of Cornwall.

Take a look at this drive by Angus Garrard on the leader Hy Voltage in race 6 at Albion Park last Tuesday afternoon. It was an absolute shocker, and perhaps even something a whole lot worse on top. Garrard charged Hy Voltage off the gate like a raging bull, and under no pressure at all […]

I can’t quite remember the last time I saw a drive as bad as John ‘Lurch’ Dunn’s pathetic effort on the favourite Highgrove in the main trot race at Addington last night. Highgrove was drawn the backmark of 20 metres in the massive 15 horse field, and he is a dodgy beginner at the best […]
