Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
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 […]
Gavin Fitzpatrick booted Bad to the Bone in the back leg just inside the 200 metre mark in the first race at Menangle on Saturday night, in a vain attempt to kick it on into first place, pardon the pun. He did it right in front of the crowd, and in full view of the […]
Alright. Watch this. You are looking at the horse on the inside, the one in the maroon and white. Jack ‘Turbo’ Trainor is it’s driver. Watch his foot. And while you are doing so, ask yourself whether horses deserve to be kicked hard to make them run faster, or least as fast as they can […]
Young Jack Brown didn’t drive at the Young trot meeting on Thursday night. Nathan Turnbull did. He breached the whip rule too. Turnbull was sentenced on the basis of Brown’s previous record. Me thinks he might have grounds for appeal.
Aminorex (Menocil, Apiquel, aminoxaphen, aminoxafen, McN-742) is a weight loss (anorectic) stimulant drug. It was withdrawn from the market after it was found to cause pulmonary hypertension. In the U.S., it is an illegal Schedule I drug, meaning it has high abuse potential, no accepted medical use, and a poor safety profile. Aminorex, in the 2-amino-5-aryl oxazoline class, was developed by McNeil Laboratories in 1962. It is closely related […]
