Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
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 […]
Think I’ve come to that realisation with the ‘Red Hots’. I love the trots and always have but there comes a time where it needs to be said out loud. Not so much on a site like this but in the general media. Of course they are bound by the rules not to say anything […]
The Miracle Mile field is set with only the barrier draw to cap it off before they fly off the gates. They will fly and this could be the fastest mile we have ever seen. I have no objections or criticisms of how they reached the final field either. ARCHIE – There weren’t too many […]
A great trainer once told me that “once I hand over the reins, it’s out of my hands”. This was after I suggested the driver of my horse was better off with a monkey in the cart to put it politely. I actually think there was something more sinister at play outside the control of […]
