Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Well as one who looks outside the box I ask what’s going on at the trials in NZ. I refer specifically to those held at North Canterbury on 28/2/24, and Trial 6 a qualifier for 2YO Colts and Geldings. Beaudiene Hunter in the home straight looked set to win the trial somewhat easily, alas his […]
Many are wondering why Brent Mangos – the once celebrated trainer for leading harness racing administrators Scott Plant (Auckland Trotting Club) and Gary Woodham (former HRNZ CEO) and prominent powerful industry figures Ken Breckon, Phil Kennard and Jim Gibbs MZNM – has this week handed in his trainer/driver license, and not a soul in power […]
The best bred 2YO in New Zealand stepped out on debut at Ascot Park in Invercargill this afternoon, recording a super impressive win. Always Dreaming is the young colt’s name and he’s by Bettors Delight out of Start Dreaming, making him a the full brother to both Saturday’s Chariots of Fire favorite Don’t Stop Dreaming […]
We have said it before and we will say it again. They do things differently in New Zealand. We’re not talking here about Orchestral, the 3YO filly who is $1.50 favorite to beat the boys in the Derby. What we are interested in is the 2nd starter Irish Whisper, a filly who has had one […]

Almost the second that he gets there, Jonny Cox on the stablemate Alta Meteor which has blown […]
The hot mail from New Zealand is that the fix is on Race 5 tomorrow at Addington. This is how it is supposed to work. The horse drawn the pole Charlie Brown, driven by Lurch Dunn, is the one. The plan is to back it heavily, and make sure that it wins. Blair Orange is […]
An NZ harness racing licensee has been found guilty of one charge relating to sexual offences. The man, who cannot be named to protect the identity of the victim, will be sentenced in May. What will happen to his license between now and then in unknown, but after the guilty finding one would hope that […]
The verdict in the case of the prominent NZ harness racing licensee charged with sexual offences against boys in his care is expected to be handed down tomorrow. It is said that the licensee blamed the boys for initiating sexual contact with him. What a load of crap. This sort of defense just goes to […]
Junior Kiwi driver Riley Harrison on Judine got over the top of her boss John Dunn’s drive Fergalicious to win the last race at Ashburton yesterday. Those in the know reckon it’s the first time that the young reinswoman has come first when tangling head to head against Lurch. They say it gave her great […]
