Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Congratulations Cambridge Well that’s what I say, for the production of the two brilliant fields they have this Friday. I don’t really who care who thought of putting these races on, who the slot holders are or sponsors them either. Sure it takes a bucket load of dollars but if you want the best you […]
Leap to Fame is a champion full stop. Champs do what they shouldn’t be able to and he won this race I thought was beyond him. Yes, Jeff hopped and skipped and cost himself the race but Dixon was right there attacking the spot behind him and would have put it to him way earlier […]
This is one of the great events of what has already been a comeback 6 months for this code. It pretty much comes down to 3 beings. Just Believe has been enormous for harness racing. Jason Grimson, the man who certainly has some detractors but his record is incredible. Turning what appeared to be past […]
This one’s for you Ben and Emma Some people think they are the game and can hold it to ransom by weight of numbers. The races will go on as they did before they had a stranglehold on races, meetings and prize money. The average mug punting in a punt tab over a beer or […]
Published unedited, as Keith demanded Hunter Cup night showed how great this sport can be. Leap to Fame dazzled, Dixon was in my opinion a 9/10 drive and the only criticism I would offer is he took off in search of the lead 50/100 too early. Cya Art after failing in his bold attempt to […]
Without a doubt my all time favourite event is this race. Gallops, trots or dogs, doesn’t matter. This true staying test and has always produced a field from the best of the best in Australasia. Look at the honour roll for yourself. This race is a race where champions have beaten champions. This year I’ll […]
Archie needs to say sorry In fact I demand he apologises for what was the best drive, on the best horse, not only at Albion Park but Australian harness racing has ever seen. He absolutely towelled them. Leap was sweating up a treat, just itching to attack like a caged lion. He not only had […]
You hear a lot about Just Believe and I am a believer. He looks an outright certainty to win from that draw. There’s only a couple of lengths at most between the top 4 but he holds all the aces from his gate. Sugars will control the race from the outset and just win. I […]
I’ll start by congratulating whoever at Albion Park decided that the series heats be Friday, Tuesday then Saturday and the final the following Saturday. It’s about time a good trots decision was made. Ok now for the honest truth! The depth of pacers just isn’t there. Without NZs best or at least some of them […]
This weeks Victoria Cup sees harness racings equivalent to the Cox Plate. History shows that the cream has risen to the top with an honour roll the epitome of excellence. This years race is one of the finest examples of that you’ll ever see. Having a legitimate barrier draw unlike the slot races has made […]
