Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Better Be The Best (BBTB)’s mile was better overall than Frankie Ferocious’s, despite Grimson’s new horse running a faster time. Frankie only ran his first quarter in 27 something (27.5 seconds) which is a soft opening split for Menangle. Golden Bay was faster over the first furlong then BBTB, but BBTB was outside him round […]
Jason Grimson is just too good for everyone else at the moment. Last night at Menangle, Grimson had 8 starters in 6 races. He won 4 of them, training the quinella in two where he had dual starters. Grimson’s other pair finished 3rd and 4th. Both were big runs. 7 of the 8 runners had […]
Trot trainers don’t pluck a horse from Jason Grimon’s barn and make it better. It’s unheard of. That’s what Grimson does to others, he doesn’t have it happen to him. Or he didn’t anyway, until the wonder kid Seaton Grima rode into town and did it. Grimson couldn’t train Firefox to win a single race […]
The great Keith McDeed exploded back into the winners list at Newcastle yesterday, breaking a more than a 2-year drought by winning the prestigious TAB Venue Mode HRNSW Guaranteed 2yo Maiden Pace, a race that in the past has been won by legends of the crushed of the compacted granite dust circuit such as Whatshisname, […]
A couple of weeks back we wrote about the amazing later career renaissance of trainer David Waite after he took over the reins from the disqualified Leon Jurd as the trainer for former Club Menangle and HRNSW boss Rex Horne, the real estate with the stand named after him. David Waite’s Golden Run of Success […]
Hall of Fame trainers Gai Waterhouse and Chris Waller have openly rebuked Australian Turf Club proposals to sell Rosehill Gardens racecourse during a sometimes-heated club members meeting on Tuesday night. Waterhouse‘s address to the meeting was leaked to Racenet by multiple sources – and racing’s First Lady did not hold back. She criticised the two […]
The NSW Greyhound Integrity Commission has disqualified greyhound handler John Donald Wright, aka Winchester, from holding a license for three and a half years after the vice-president of the Canberra branch of the Rebels motorcycle gang pleaded guilty to charges of conspiring to cultivate a trafficable quantity of cannabis, money laundering, possessing a prohibited weapon […]
I dubbed Seaton Grima the next Jason Grimson in a story the other week, and for good reason too, for just like Grimson he has a miraculous ability to take a tried horse from another trainer and put lengths on it. Grima did it again today at Menangle with a pacer from Canberra named Argent […]

The knockers are out with their knives opposing the sale of Rosehill to create 25 000 new homes where the track currently is a land starved, unaffordable city in which young people largely can’t afford to achieve the great Australian dream by buying themselves a home. Are these anti’s kidding themselves, or are they simply […]
