Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Positions Available Apprentice/ Trackwork Rider Above award wage. Greg Hickman is not a top ten Sydney trainer, but he is one who always seems to have a horse in his stable that provides him with a lucrative earn, a galloper like Private Secretary, or Royal Purler, or Murjilisa Lass, or more recently the $2.9 million […]
Adam Hamilton raised an interesting point in his column this week on thetrots.com.au when he stated his belief that Kevin Seymour’s NSW Derby winner Leap To Fame was still at this stage only the 3rd best three-year-old in Australasia behind the Kiwi star Akuta and the Victorian based Catch a Wave. I thought I would […]
Melbourne racing fans may have seen the last of champion mare Verry Elleegant with Chris Waller confirming that the six-year-old would by-pass the All-Star Mile. The reigning Melbourne Cup heroine received more votes than other runner in the $5 million event, to be run at Flemington on March 19, but Waller said she would run in the Group 1 Ranvet Stakes (2000m) […]
Atlas was a champion Titan stayer who was handicapped to carry the sky in the Zeus War Stakes. Anamoe is at this stage only a top-line three year old sprinter-miler, but he’s been tasked with carrying the sky too. I’m talking about the weight that the NSW handicapper has given the James Cummings trained colt’s […]
If the Stewards don’t raise questions about the running of race 7 last night at Menangle, then we might as well lock up the integrity office, turn off the lights, and throw the keys in the Nepean River. This race was off like prawns left six days in the sun. Luke – sorry, Belinda – […]
The Cran Dalgety trained pacer Trixton Time boasted the unenviable record of 35 starts for just 2 wins coming into last night’s Addington meeting, and had not won a race in it’s past 8 starts. It’s best winning time was 2.00.0. It is strongly rumoured that prior to the running of Trixton Time’s race, the […]
They pay down to tenth place in NSW thoroughbred racing. You get $500. Calmer Karma finished eighth. The five hundred was in the bag. Or would have been if the lead had stayed there. Look where it fell out. It’s hard to earn half a ton in this tough guys town isn’t it?
A horse named Big Arjay was the medium of a sensational plunge in the 3rd race at Cowra on Monday. He was backed from $14 into $3.30, which is a decent go in any person’s language. Big Arjay was beaten into 2nd place after being seemingly stuck on the fence behind the leaders with nowhere […]
On the 22nd of December 2021 a NSW trot trainer named Michael ‘Mickey’ Muscat raced a very appropriately named pacer called Knight Walker in the first on the card at a TAB meeting at Bathurst. The horse went exactly as its name suggested, like a busted arse. It sat in the death and got beaten […]
The prospect of running the Miracle Mile at Menangle on Saturday night are looking bleaker and bleaker by the minute. Like many trots tracks, Menangle was built in a flood basin, and the whole joint’s under water. That’s not then worst of it. The track sits next to the Nepean River. It is at its […]
