Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
What a run it was by Mo’unga in the Epsom yesterday. Simply out of this world. How did he do what he did? Mo’unga was the worst weighted horse in the world. He is a four-year-old who only four starts back carried the featherweight of 49.5kg in the Doncaster and ran tenth. A last in […]
Once upon a time winning a Group 1 race was the biggest thing a trot person could ever do. Hunter Cup, Victoria Cup, Miracle Mile, Derby, Sunshine Sprint, the Clive Uhr, Oaks, Inter Dominion, NZ Trotting Cup. These races were Group 1’s, and they were the Holy Grail. That was back when the trots were […]
I’m starting to wonder if Harness Racing NSW should just save everyone the trouble of getting dressed and gearing up their horses, and just hand the $16 200 winner’s cheque for the regular Saturday night faux Group 3 race to Jason ‘Jill’ Grimson at the start of the evening so we can all just get […]
I’m quite sure that Queenslanders and Western Australians have never been happier happier with their political representatives in the entire history of Federation that we are right now. While we see and read of the havoc and carnage that the coronavirus is wreaking in NSW and Victoria, it all seems so far away, almost as […]
My personal assessment of NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian is that she is a dishonest, greedy trougher who couldn’t lie straight in bed and shouldn’t be trusted any further than you can throw her, divided by ten. I also reckon her days as Premier are fast coming to an end, and that in no time at […]
https://www.facebook.com/PaulTooleMP/videos/1312190945574532 Want to know one of the prime reasons that the Riverina harness track cost rose from $3.5 million to $13 million, and the surface is still so unreliable that every time it sprinkles they have to call the meeting off? See that bloke with the baldish head in the blue coat and brown pants? […]
I do not agree with NSW trainer Norm Loy’s abuse of the State’s Premier – or at least not in full; I do think Gladys is a moron, but would never call a woman a ‘mole’ – but I support his rights as a citizen to express his views regarding the most public figure in […]
I have written about NSW trot trainer Troy Williams before. You can read those stories by clicking here. I have to admit, I don’t think that Troy is on the level. In fact, I reckon he is red hot. The two horses backed like there were no tomorrow in the picture above are his. It […]
There were 9 races on the card at the Penrith trots last night. Harness Racing NSW conducted pre-race blood tests in 8 of them. The average price of the pacers swabbed was over $20. Two of the horses tested started at $43.60 and $82.10. Now that’s real clever isn’t it? Troy Williams well backed winner […]
Well here we were after Saturday night thinking that we’d ushered in a new era of intelligent Stewarding in NSW. How foolish we were. It wall just an illusion, an mirage in a syringe filled desert drenched with drugs. Targeted, effective and efficient swab sampling is one of the keys to overcoming the corruption crisis […]
