Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
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 […]
Well if you live long enough you see everything. Keith from QLD saying something nice about me? That’s like seeing Halley’s comet. Wonders never cease, or people cease to amaze. So like most readers of this site we open up the website over a coffee in the morning. It can be addictive to see who […]
I wasn’t going to weigh in but I’m bored with all the hype and tripe written and about to be written and read. Archie raved about Leap to Fame, he’ll tell ya he has too but when or if Merlin ever came to Bris Vegas he’d have a freaking heart attack and would probably miss […]
Keith has been on holiday in Bali with the missus and kids for the past 11 days. He was going good until the bank changed the security codes on his accounts due to what they thought were unusual betting transactions. If only they knew he was going quarter pace, so he could ensure there was […]
After a week of fun and family times in Bali and the Gili islands I’ve found myself in a quiet private villa down south. The deal was I do the family thing for a week off the punt with my only news from the homeland was this website. Sometimes the Ukraine/Russia war was more entertaining […]
Personally, I think the two big races were a huge success. One attracted possibly the best field of the year and one had the best from the west plus a couple of pretty good horses. Ok the NZ was decided in the first 100m but that’s the draw and Old Town Road had to take […]
Keith from QLD chimes back in with some observations about Ben Yole and the trot world at large. It’s always great to have another perspective, from someone who’s been around the game for a long time, and knows a few things about the trots. My intention was to keep out of writing about this, and […]
