Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Leap To Fame is the best horse in the world. We have been saying that he was two-year’s old. On sheer ability and a perfect preparation he would win the NZ Cup by panels. The great problem is his driver Grant Dixon. Dixon is a brilliant horseman and trainer, but despite the excellent driving record […]
Race 1 is crap, and race 3 and 4 too. The second race would be as well, if only not for the fact that the Jason Grimson’s of the NZ South Island Peter and Mitchell Ferguson didn’t have one of their inexplicably grown a leg pacers Ward Lamon in there. Throw out the previous form […]
What a great race the New Zealand Trotting Cup is. Despite the name it’s actually a pace, because Kiwi’s are weird, which is why I am an adopted one. They are a great race of people. But are their horse good enough to beat the best Australians in the Cup? It’s possible, but I doubt […]
Captains Mistress made a triumphant return to her home land today by blitzing her rivals in the Kaikoura Cup at the prettiest trot track in the world. She got a bit of help from her stablemate Minos driven by trainer Jason Grimson, who looked around six or seven times for her when he was in […]
I have been telling you since he was a 2-year-old that Kiwi pacer Marketplace was a superstar. A month ago I declared that he might beat Leap To Fame in the NZ Cup. Marketplace is Back Then I watched him get beaten by Bettors Anvil last start at Addington, and talking through my kick I […]
It will be a busy few days for Grimson with Captains Mistress and Minos due to fly to NZ on Sunday – HRNZ website today The great problem with the trots both here in New Zealand and over the ditch in Oz is that everyone materially involved in the sport regards punters as absolute mugs, […]
I hate to say this, for fear of offending my Kiwi compatriots and some of my friends, but the NZ Trotting Cup (which is really a pace) is starting to look like a three horse race to me. And they are all Australians. But they are not the top 3 in the market. Larry wins […]
Just out from a month until NZ Cup day, the likely make up of the 15 horse field for the big one is starting to take shape following the release of the latest rankings. Last year’s winner Kingman has automatic entry into the race, as do the winners of the automatic qualification races Republican Party […]
I was watching the NZ Trackside coverage of the trots using the VPN on Friday night, and was shocked to see popular presenter Greg O’Connor waxing lyrical in praise of the wholesale cuts to prizemoney. Trackside brought all the major races up on screen, and had all the rich slot races gone and two new […]
