Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The Snake Gully Cup is a thoroughbred race run at Gundagai in mid-December that has long been one of the major events on the NSW country racing calendar. Many thousands of racing fans come from all points on the map to attend the Cup, with the 2-day Friday and Saturday meetings always attracting huge crowds. […]
Cowra saw the most protests since the POW breakout of 1944 yesterday at the trots. First there was the protest 2nd v 1st in race 4. It was upheld, with the $2.80 favorite losing the race after interfering with the runner up in the straight. That was followed by another 1st v 2nd objection in […]
The attacks on greyhound racing continue, with WA the latest target. Can the dogs survive the concerted campaigns by animal activists that are having success in shifting public opinion against the sport? I guess that will depend on how the industry responds to the challenges it is facing now and in the future. We will […]
This is Harness Racing NSW’ new ad for the Carnival of Cups. It is in our view totally inane. Some had too much money to spend and too few ideas. Just ask Mini Me. And tell him to get a haircut.
The 2 won race two at Bulli tonight. Or so it seemed. Looks can be deceiving. The 2 was actually the 3, wearing the wrong rug. Both dogs are trained by Angela Murray. Murray or her representative put the striped rug on the red brindle bitch Rainy Dream and the white rug on the red […]
Watch the horse in the yellow and white, in front on the rail as the film rolls. It’s driver Will Rixon pulls it off the fence to let Cameron Hart behind him in the blue and gold through. Then Rixon turns and looks, and sees that Hart doesn’t quite have enough room to get up […]
After a by his own standards relatively quiet winter, Jason Grimson has returned to peak form with a bang. Four out of four he won, including three of the four heats of the Carousel, and the Free For All Listed Classic. Look out for Swayzee next start is all I can say. The way Grimson […]
Helluva is a 7-year-old pacer who has been running around racetracks since the year 2020, and in that time has saluted te judge in first place on 12 occasions, but in all of his wins the horse has never run a race in a faster mile rate than 1.54.9. That win came 2 years ago over […]
I used to thing trainer Mick Stanley was one of the good guys, but after the win of his 3-year-old Sao Paolo Simba at Menangle today I am no longer sure. Sao Paolo Simba had raced 11 times coming into today’s race and won 4 and placed 3. He had raced at Menangle 5 times […]
Colin McDowell celebrates his Breeders Blue win with a feed Have you ever heard of the standardbred sire Lord Zin Zan? No? Me either. That’s because in five years at stud he has only ever served 12 mares who have produced just nine live foals. His runner to winner record is alright though, for four […]
