Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
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 […]
Ah what’s Keith been smoking or snorting? Not sure about Emma being too happy with her draws apart from HB Surely that’s a front line that the real not Kilmore Doo and LTF both go forward at the start, lead for which one has the most gates peed and gets there first and chair for […]
With the butterfly clipped at present I thought I’d share my thoughts on some recent events and touch on some upcoming. My thoughts on the eureka are the field was as good as they could possibly manage, with what statistics suggest are the greatest trainer in the country has paired up with in my opinion […]
Just another reason why the trots puts it in the why should I bet on these category. In thoroughbreds you see horses miss the start for various reasons but if it deemed it hasn’t received a fair chance it’s later scratched and monies refunded. Rightly so, there’s an outcry if that didn’t happen and the […]
