Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
We have written on numerous occasions about the extraordinary winning strike rate of horses owned by former Harness Racing NSW boss Rex Horne and his friend and sometime trainer Leon Jurd when they backed as if there is no tomorrow. In these stories we’ve also noted how rare it is for horses owned by the […]
The horse here in yellow that falls at Newcastle last night is driven by Jake Hughes. He takes a terrible fall when he cops the backlash from severe interference in front of him. Hughes falls directly into the path of the horse in the blue and orange driven by Matthew Harding. If Harding’s reflexes hadn’t […]
Can anyone explain to me how Harness Racing NSW could have ‘reluctantly reduced staffing levels following the onset of COVID-19’, as reported in its Annual Report to Parliament, when the staff numbers for the last three years actually look like this: 2019 – 41 employees 2020 – 38 employees 2021 – 43 employees Would you […]
I do believe that we have mentioned the police officer cum trot trainer ‘Smoking’ Joe Connolly’s name on this website before, usually in relation to horses that are backed and suddenly improve their form quite rapidly to win these said races. Smoking Joe doesn’t miss much in these scenarios, so when I noticed a horse […]
KINGMAKER NZ– Caught racing three wide in the early stages of the event before working forward to the position outside the leader passing the 1900 metres. Post race veterinary examination failed to reveal any obvious abnormalities. Stewards questioned driver Luke McCarthy with regards to the performance of the gelding which tired over the final stages […]
Remember the story we told you on Sunday about the hottest race in the world at the Menangle trots the night before, on the opening night of ID21? The race the Stewards convened an inquiry into that we assured you would end up nowhere? This one. https://peterprofit.com/2021/11/28/the-hottest-race-in-the-whole-wide-world/ Well gee, we were right. Nothing can spoil […]
Last night in the first at Menangle a horse named Pete’s Said So was backed from $34 into $13 on TAB fixed price market, and into as short as $10 with other bookies. The horse is from the Robbie Morris camp. Robbie is well connected in NSW harness racing. It was red hot this race. […]
Sounds strange doesn’t it? Perhaps it is. But that is the mail coming out of level 7, 51 Druitt Street, Sydney today. The word is that PVL has been told it is either footy or racing, pick one but he can’t have both. He has picked footy they say. Those who say it claim that […]
In September Racing NSW suspended trainer Norm Loy’s license for 3 months for conduct prejudicial to the interests of racing after comments critical of then NSW Premier Glady Berejiklian that he made on his personal Facebook page were brought to the attention of the authorities by a rat. At the time many, including this website, […]
It was a funny old night at Bathurst. The fave in the 1st blew from $1.60 to $1.95, got planted in the death outside the 2nd fave and got beaten a head, in a deceptive finish in which it appeared that driver Amy Day stopped driving and took a huge grip three strides too early. […]
