Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Australia’s favorite professional punter David ‘Baldy’ Frolley has travelled far and wide across the country from his Seaford, Victoria base in his cross country quest to win a Fashions on the Field. We have seen Baldy tracks from Murwillumbah to Manangatang, Grafton to Geelong, Wangaratta to Wagga, and Caulfield to Coffs Harbour as he pursues […]
The Tuaman with our nephews at the Fight For Life that he got us front row tickets to. I was taking the picture. Maggie’s cousin David Tua is one of the funniest blokes you will ever meet in your life. When we lived over there near him and his Mum he used to drive around […]
DR LUK SUN CHIN, Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit By Michael Guerin One of horse racing’s most enduring and loved characters says he “is a bit embarrassed” about being honoured in today’s King’s Birthday Honours. “It is a lovely honour but I have so many other people’s help in all facets of […]
I was saddened to learn yesterday of the passing of Peter Donohoe, the trainer-driver who for decades was a fixture of harness racing at both the old right-hand Albion Park, and then later at the present left-hand one. I never met Peter, but as a trot fan felt I knew him well, even though I […]
Big ups to young apprentice Hyeontaek Oh (pictured), who recently rode his first career winner at just his second race ride. Apparently Oh is a real nice kid and a very hard worker, so his success is well deserved. He looks to have a very bright future ahead. Congratulations too to our reader and correspondent […]
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 […]
