Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
I am joking. I think. Suspensions in NSW don’t really happen, they are just fictions on paper. Robbie Morris copped 28 days in the first round of ID21 late last year, and hasn’t served a second of it. Jack Trainor was given 21 days a fortnight ago, and he is still driving. Aaron Dunn will […]
There are more than a few people down the Riverina way who are questioning the decision to abandon the Leeton harness race meeting last night, with many describing it as premature, and others simply claiming that spooked by the weather a thousand miles to the north, the officials just jumped the gun. When you look […]
For a Reason has won the NSW Sire of the Year award. Why? What has For a Reason actually sired that is any good? How did he win the best stallion in NSW award? What does it say about Yirribbee stud? What does it say about the rest of the stallions in NSW? What does […]
Eye See Things When questioned regarding his riding on the mare in the early and middle stages and in particular the reason why he elected to position his mount towards the outside rail along the backstraight, rider N Rawiller stated that his instructions were to ride Eye See Things in a prominent position, however no […]
You would go a long way to see a better example of brilliant aggressive driving than Jack Trainor’s demolition job on Stylish Memphis in the Group 1 mares race at Menangle tonight, and even then you might not find it. It was sheer genius. Guts, balls and glory. Turbo shot the gate, and then took […]
It’s a huge night of racing at Menangle tonight, the second best Sydney trot meeting of the year. Let’s see if we can find you a winner. RACE 1 This looks like being a super fast run race, with the renowned speedster and 1.49 winner Cash N Flow drawn in the 2 and last week’s […]
Many good judges I know claim that Jack ‘Turbo’ Trainor is the best driver in NSW, and they are not far wrong at that, although for mine Luke McCarthy and young Jack Callaghan have a head or so on him, and a long one at that. There is doubt however that Turbo knows all the […]
This may be hard to believe, but those who tell the story swear that it is true. A couple of years ago Harness Racing NSW spent $15 million building a track at Wagga, smack bang in the middle of dodgy Daryl Maguire’s electorate. The new course was going to revitalise the sport they said, and […]
How does this Stewards report from the Newcastle Mile make any sense? Luke McCarthy is questioned about the sub-standard performance of the superstar pacer Expensive Ego, the Miracle Mile runner-up and first past the post in Inter Dominion 2021 before he lost it on protest. He tells the stipes that the tempo didn’t suit, particularly […]
What about his left boot sir! Jack ‘Turbo’ Trainer is like the girl in the ZZ Top song. He’s got legs, and he knows how to use them. He’s got legs, and knows how to bruise them. Poor old Krug copped a good right boot in the back end on the home turn on the […]
