But none of them beach boys and girls won the NZ Cup did they? Jumping Jase did. The rumour is that Tim Butt’s nominated the boy from Young for a knighthood. Arise Sir Jason Grimson. The greatest trainer in […]
Race 1 – Saunders Brown Handicap Trot 3200m The favourite Masterly is a quality square gaiter but he has a terrible habit of trotting roughly over the final stages, which has cost him victory in a lot of races that he looked like winning, his last start defeat at Addington at the hands of Eurostyle […]
The markets for the feature Group 1 races on NZ Cup day in 5 days time have been turned upside down after the dominant favourites for the rich feature races drew terribly at yesterday’s barrier draw. Akuta has blown from odds-on out to $2.20 after landing the horror barrier 15 on the 2nd row in […]
The news overnight that Self Assured won’t be lining up in the NZ Trotting Cup in 12 days time comes as no great surprise to those who were aware that owner Jean Fiess had been privately expressing great concern about her great pacer’s lacklustre performance at Kaikoura on Monday, and mulling over whether to pull […]
Wyndham based horseman Craig Ferguson is absolutely on fire this season. So hot that he us training winners and placegetters at a ratio to starters never seen before in NZ this century. The highest UDR (see picture at top) ever recorded by at season’s end by a trainer in the top 12 on the premiership […]

Now all we have is Mark Purdon’s best pacers, a handful of locals, a former claimer class Aussie, a recycled Kiwi from Oz, and a bunch full of next […]
Everyone’s favorite drug dealer, crim and disqualified harness racing participant – but not, his main supporter claims without meeting our request for proof, a con man who rips off pensioners – Matthew Anderson had his appeal for drenching 2 horses on NZ Cup day heard on Thursday. He won a victory of sorts too, with […]
Copy That and Self Assured first met not in a race, but on a card, at Alexandra Park on 14 December 2019. They won separate races over 2200m, with Copy That running 1.6 seconds faster in his. It was a portent of things to come. The pair’s first actual race contest was in the 2020 Ashburton […]
Copy That has been stood down from racing for 28 days after he choked down and was subsequently found to have bled in tonight’s A$500,000 Hunter Cup at Melton. But, incredibly the horse recovered quickly and trainer Ray Green is confident he can still have him ready for the $1 million The Race by Grins […]
