Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
What a shit coverage of the trots tonight on 7 Mate. It’s like being put on hold. Surely we can do better than this with the rare TV opportunities the sport gets. What a lost opportunity. The clowns are running the circus. Keith from QLD
Oh my goodness. How brilliant was Kalyn Ponga? And Selwyn Cobbo? Or Sam Walker, Harry Grant, the entire Maroons forward pack, and the whole Queensland team. Keith from QLD and I backed them for plenty head to head. Being an AFL man from way back he doesn’t really understand footy, and was worried at half […]
Who else in the world but Keith from QLD could pull of something like this? A 4 leg multi late on a Thursday night on the French trots. $15 a unit, total cost $120. He nails it. Total collect circa $4400. Genius. He’s a good bloke he’s from Queensland and his name is Keith. You […]
Keith From QLD did his arse on Saturday, while I was winning. So at end of the day I slung him $500 to have a bet on the trots, as he would me. That’s just what lifelong punter mates do. We’re a bit different than most people, and comfortable about it too. Keith knocked off […]
Personally Archie I find it a bit rich that poor old gaita can’t cop a fresh start in SA. She’s assaulted only a few who others would like to smack, injected the ones who weren’t performing to her liking and god knows what else, but Gaita’s a good old fashioned little Aussie battler who deserves […]
Last week Archie tipped 6 winners from 9 races at Albion Park to beat Keith who only got 5. This week we move to the triangle at Redcliffe. It could be Keith’s Bermuda. May the best man win! (Editor’s note – Neither Keith nor I have a body like Dr Georgia Whiting’s. Therefore all form […]
By Keith from QLD I was texting Archie in the days before and we both agreed the bookies were offering luxury odds Leap. Listening to the paid commentary team saying how Leap would need to go to a new level was putting me off quite a bit. I question whether they have an understanding of […]
These are the good times? I suppose it’s perspective isn’t it. For Chantel and Pete McMullen another satisfying treble at the Creek. Dawsons usually good for at least 5 a week. The Dixons are still on a high and looking forward to future riches thanks to a handy nag. The owners are certainly embracing the […]
In racing while growing up one of my greatest weaknesses when it came to the punt was sentimentality. I grew up and around an era when it was on show and I got sucked in by the achievements rather than being able to differentiate the realities and the emotional side. There’s no place for that […]
This song by Dire Straits all but sums it up. The west have had some greats of harness racing that’s for sure but their best are no longer competitive on the grand circuit stage. This will be the case in the Nullarbor too. With Minstrel drawing the grandstand and Never Ending drawing behind Spirit it […]
