Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
If the Harness Racing NSW CEO is going to put his nephew on the payroll to write feel good stories in response to ours that raise questions about a trainer’s extraordinary success in putting never before seen speed into the legs of aged and battle weary pacers, he should at least hire him a research […]
Loui had raced 18 times prior to October. It had won twice. The time it ran in that win was 1.57.2. This horse had always been trained by Ross Adams, and still is. Adams had driven it in it’s every start too. But 6 weeks ago all of a sudden first David Morris, and then […]
Joe Conolly used to be a full-time copper and part-time trainer who played around around with the few horses and enjoyed a bit of luck. I don’t know if Conolly still a detective in the NSW police force, but he certainly has a lot more horses these days, and is having a whole lot of […]
Do you reckon that James Innes Jr was fair dinkum on Blueskin in the Eve Security Services Maiden Plate at Gosford on Friday? I very much doubt it. Blueskin was a first starter coming into this off two trials. In the first of them a month ago he jumped like a rabbit with Innes on […]
Colt Thirty One is a multiple Group 1 winning pacer who’d had 97 starts for 46 wins and 31 placings coming into race 3 at Menangle last night. The Colt is a new rating (NR) 120. That’s no surprise, given Queensland’s greatest pacer of the past decade has won in excess of a million dollars. […]
Surf Ace had raced 29 times prior to last night, for four trainers and four wins. The fastest time that he’d ever won in was 1.59.6. Last night the four-year-old pacer appeared for the first time at Bathurst in the colours of his new trainer Turbo Trainor. It was his first run for three weeks. […]
Campbell Rawiller is a Melbourne-based apprentice who is indentured to trainer Logan McGill. From March to June last year Rawiller spent three months in Sydney on loan to trainer Gai Waterhouse improving his experience and skills, but he returned to Victoria at the end of the loan period, and has been riding there since. The […]
Some people reckon that Anthony ‘Mr T’ Missen keeps dodgy company. It is a bit harsh I reckon. Let’s be real here, it’s not like his good Anthony Mabbott is serving life or anything is it? All he got was 9 years. And his other bestie ‘Two Bob’ Rob Clements didn’t cop all that much […]
Knight Walker is the pacer that trainer Michael Muscat is alleged to have tubed with a milkshake, the one that returned the positive swab that has seen him stood down. If Muscat has done it, then the two questions you would have to ask are why, and how bloody bad is this horse? The other […]
We waited a week for HRNSW to say something before we told you what we knew about Michael Muscat’s positive swab, but there was a wall of silence, so a couple of days ago we gave up and ran the story. The very next day Harness Racing NSW announced what we’d known since Xmas, and […]
