Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
There is trend emerging in NSW harness racing whereby pacers that leave the Seaton Grima stable suddenly lose two legs. Four starts back Saginaw won at Menangle in 1.52.5. It then ran down the track three starts ago in a higher class race at Menangle, but still ran a similar [personal time of 1.52.6. After […]
Last night the heats of the prestigious Group 1 Gold Tiara for the 2YO’s fillies were conducted at Bathurst, and fans like me had the great fortune to watch some top class young pacers in action showing us their wares. There were six heats run. The winner of each heat and the 4 fastest 2nd […]
Junior driver Jack Brown has only two drives at Menangle this afternoon, but he is going to a very busy boy regardless with 2 adjourned inquiries from his drive on Sara Ta Sloy to be reopened and heard prior to the meeting. The first of the inquiries is into why the reinsman put his hand […]
Four horses were attributed as being late scratched from the Broken Hill Cup meeting on Friday night. The problem is that Hryhorec only travels pulling a 3 horse float. And that one of the four late scratchings – a pacer named Whodat Boodat – is actually trained by Toby Ryan, who has a runner in […]
How on earth was the protest in the race shown below upheld? Where was the interference? Nowhere, that’s where. What happened here that you don’t see every day of the week at the trots? Nothing except that they were racing on a tight 600m track. Horses shift out at high speed on tiny little circuits […]
The alarm on our crystal ball just started beeping and flashing red. When we ran over to check what the ball knew it spat out a weird prediction. What it told us was that Ryan Hryhorec would encounter problems getting My Ultimate Levi to the Broken Hill track to run in Friday night’s Cup, and […]
It seems that there is more than meets the eye to the mass scratching of the KerryAnn Morris horses at Penrith tonight. The word from the track is that Jack Trainor’s long-running Levamisole charge was finally heard yesterday. Trainor was convicted of charge of presentation, but the speculation is that he won’t be punished anywhere […]
We have been screaming for months about the Stewards not enforcing the rule about going inside the marker pegs, including writing stories about driver Aaron Dunn doing it on Dee Roe in the Simpson Sprint and retaining second place, and the winner at Young last week withstanding a protest after going all the way inside […]
All of Kerry Anne Morris’s runners at Penrith tonight after race 2 have been withdrawn by the order of the Stewards, for reasons currently unknown. Morris had a runner in race 2 which went around, but each of her other runners in the races thereafter are out. So is she. Morris has forfeited all of […]
The second race at Menangle on Saturday night just didn’t look right. In fact it looked like a Jack and Jill engineered fix. Jack is Trainor. He had two in the race, Braeview Kelly and his recent acquisition from across the ditch Manhattan. Trainor drove Braeview Kelly, and put his stable employee Jack Brown on […]
