Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Isn’t Leap To Fame an absolutely tremendous looking horse. As pretty as a picture. Just like Kay, Brittany and Trista. Sorry Kev and Grant. No disrespect. But I’m not sure about you. Stick to owning and training world champions chaps. Leave the looks to Larry and the girls. Photos by Angelique Bridson, another champion.
A picture tells a thousand words. A video tells a million. I have only 4 words to say myself. Wow! All hail the King!
This is wonderful tribute to Kevin Seymour made by the Victorian Harness Racing Club as part of the presentation of Seymour’s induction as a Caduceus Club Living Legend. It starts off with a minor inaccuracy – that Seymour sold racebooks at Albion Park as a teenager: he couldn’t have, because Kevin went to school in […]
None of us have ever seen a greater win in a Miracle Mile than Leap To Fame’s last night, and even if we live to be 130 we never will. How could he have possibly won that race? Larry was wide, he was team driven against, he was under pressure for at least 800m, he […]
In all the euphoria of living in the modern age, it’s easy to get carried away and forget the past. I do when I wax lyrical about Leap T0 Fame, and forget the brilliance of Blacks A Fake. Which one was better? I’m not sure. Blackie won 4 Inter Dominions, and ran second in another […]
Leap To Fame turned the tables on Kingman last night by giving his great modern rival a pasting in the Ballarat Cup, and in the process reminded us all of just how good he is. Larry had lost a few 0f his most avid fans after being beaten at 5 of his past 10 starts […]
Story by Garrick Knight – Harness Xpress One of New Zealand’s most successful drivers is returning home. Anthony Butt is moving back to Christchurch in the near future where he is expected to link up with last year’s premiership winning Stonewall Stud stable. Butt confirmed the move to the Xpress, reenforcing rumours that had been […]
The scenes from Bondi Beach are just awful. Bodies are lying everywhere, innocent people having a day out at the beach now dead. Australia’s heart is broken. How could this happen here? From amid the terror a hero emerges. A brave, great Australian charges the murderous coward shooting innocent strangers. He put his life at […]
Today is the 12 month anniversary of QLD racing legend Pat Duff’s passing. It’s hard to believe a year had passed since Pat’s been gone. Gone from us, bet never forgotten. Spare a moment for reflection on your fondest memories of Pat. May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be always at […]
Well not really. But it is highly likely that the Big O would have been if the race had been run under the modern rules. Darren Beadman went berserk with the whip on the great horse, hitting him by my count 19 times prior to the 100 meter mark, which these days would get a […]
