Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Three decades ago Robbie Waterhouse sought a pardon from the Queen of England to get him back into racing after his Fine Cotton warning off. He didn’t get it from QE2. But he didn’t need it. His Queen whose efforts would get him restored to racing was only inches away on the other side of […]
Keep your eye on the driver of the horse in 2nd on the rail, it the light colored silks. That’s Jye Standford. What’s he looking for, the one he backed? Seems so. Stanford pleaded guilty to 2 counts of betting against in race a race against a horse he trains, one count for doing it […]
A couple of high profile former harness racing licensees on both sides of the ditch named Cameron have recently had, or are about to have, their long disqualifications for egregious breaches of the racing rules expire. I speak here of Cameron Fitzpatrick in NSW who has served a 12-year disqualification for his involvement in the […]
Seaton Grima trains both the leader Itzmineontheline and the horse on its back Bully Bourne. Grima drives Itzmineontheline. It has firmed from $1.80 into $1.55 on Sportsbet. His brother Bryson drives Bully Bourne, which has drifted from $2.60 to $3.60. Given those fluctuation I am not quite sure what the reason was what went on […]
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 […]
