Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
They say that Ben Hope was higher than Swayzee at the Racecourse Hotel on Saturday night. You have to wonder if he was in the same state of mind when he decided to park Just Believe outside him on Muscle Mountain in the NZ FFA Trot instead of taking the sit on the Aussie’s back. […]
Swayzee is the 2nd best pacer in the Southern Hemisphere. To better than hum makes Leap To Fame the greatest pacer down under that there has ever been. Blair Orange timed Dont Stop Dreaming’s final charge wrong, and went too early. If he’d held up for two seconds longer Swayzee may not have had time […]
The track at Addington yesterday was officially rated as fast, but if you believe that you will believe anything. This racing surface was crap. No horse in any of the four Group 1 races run on the day got within 4 seconds of the race record. I don’t know what the Addington track manager and […]
Entain are offering some really interesting betting options on the main races at Addington today on both their NZ (TAB and Betcha) and Australian (Ladbrokes and Neds) platforms. The Early Crow is one of them. The name of the game of the Early Crow is to pick the horse to get to the winning post […]
Did Tim Vince really win $20k bets against Auckland Trotting Club ever seeing their $80 million from the Chinese? Given the layered company structures of the defaulting developer and things hidden behind bowlers and trusts, what hope are the ATC of ever suing to enforce the now voided Franklin Park contract of sale?

On the subject of Leap To Fame’s withdrawal from the New Zealand Cup. Do they know what they are talking about? Or are they bullshitting to cover something else up? Who takes bloods from a horse who’s blood was perfect and whose work was it’s best ever, and outwardly the trainer can’t fault it? Every […]
Watching how easily Swayzee won the Cherry City Cup at Young tonight you would never have realized how fast he was going on the tight 787m circuit. He smashed Max Delight’s track record by 2.6 seconds, and did it going to the line under a tight grip too. The win gives him 2 from 2 […]
Gee Grant Dixon’s second stringer Aroda was stiff not to get a starting spot in the NZ Trotting Cup. Some might say its karma coming back to bite owner and Albion Park Chairman Greg Mitchell for supporting his sex-offender CEO Scott Steele in court and returning him to his job, and that may well be […]
You couldn’t have scripted this year’s New Zealand Trotting Cup (which is really a pace) any better if you’d tried. The will he or won’t he drama with Leap To Fame, the last minute entry of Swayzee onto the scene, the NZ North Island Horse of the Year Merlin v the Australian Horse of the […]
