Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
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. […]
A fortnight ago we wrote about the amazing run of success being enjoyed by trot trainer Tim Williams, and told you how he had improved a slow old horse named Manly Mach so much that he had taken 5.6 seconds off it’s previous best time when winning a race with it at Menangle. Well, in […]
NSW gallops mentor Garry White has never been a great trainer, or really anything much more than struggle street Stan. His career strike rate is about 11%. Between April and September this year he all but doubled it. 10 from 50 at 20% White returned during this period. It would be nice to think that […]
In 30 starts for respected and experienced and well respected trainers Darren Reay, Bill Dimech and Blake Fitzpatrick the pacer Major Statement could only win one race and run a winning time of 2.01.7. In 27 starts for Troy Williams the same horse has won 7 and been placed 11 times. Now he can run […]
Australian Rules Football has only one Tony Lockett. They can have him. He’s a dogs man. Harness Racing knows the real truth. There’s only one Troy Williams. Troy – the Plugger of the trots – is a superstar. Before he moved into Plugger T’s tender loving care the pacer Therecanonlybeonesir couldn’t even get out of […]
Harness Racing NSW has a huge problem. The new CEO of the Riverina Paceway that HRNSW brought over from Canada with the future view of assuming John Dumesny’s job when he retires is an avid anti-vaxer who refusesto get the jab. But the rules are that if you are not vaxed you can’t go to […]
Seriously concerning reports are emerging out of Wagga suggesting that Greg Gangle (pictured), the CEO of the Riverina Paceway, has been stood down from attending the next six race meetings held at the track because he is not vaccinated against COVID-19. The word is that Gangle, a self-described ‘real estate investor and entrepreneur’ who arrived […]
I have written of my admiration for the skills of NSW trot trainer Troy Williams before. On Tuesday at Menangle the master trainer Williams impressed me even more. Manly Mach used to be a cat, much like the footy team that is named after. Aaron Bain couldn’t get it going in Adelaide, Ben Yole wouldn’t […]
