Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
It seems that The Canary has managed to con 52 new owners into parting with their cold hard cash to become part of a 50 member syndicate. That seems like a good trick. How does 52 divide into 50? I guess you will never know without a proper disclosure statement, which ain’t something that Andrew […]
The double-edged sword of incomings versus outgoings dealt the racing industry two more deep slashes in its death by a thousand cuts when the TAB NZ released its December 2022 result last week. Profit came in at only $14 million compared to $16.1 million for December 2021. This result came despite the most recent December having […]
We have written on numerous occasions about Andrew ‘The Canary’ Fitzgerald, the unregistered NZ trot syndicator who operates outside the law and rips unsuspecting innocent punters off blind. Here is yet another example. The Canary – through the Off N Gone syndicate that he owns and manages – has been offered 10 percent of a […]

Colin De Fillipi is best known in Australia as the driver of Courage Under Fire, the pocket rocket who was one of the greatest young pacers ever seen in the Southern Hemisphere. I wonder if Flip kicked in the guts too? What the hell was going on at Hororata today? Why are these drivers such […]

I’ve been saying it from day one, and I will say it again. Sharp N Smart is the best 3YO in Australasia, bar none. A lot of people don’t realise it yet, not over on this side of the ditch anyway, but mark my words it is true. This young gelding is a superstar. Did […]

If there was a better 2-year-old male pacer anywhere last season than Merlin, then I didn’t see it. Many will disagree with me and say Don’t Stop Dreaming (DSD) had his measure, but I say that’s bullshit. Mark Purdon’s star only beat the wizard once, in the Sires Stakes, and that was by virtue of […]
Jack Callaghan has copped a hammering from the NZ media for his drive on Spirit of St Louis in the Hunter Cup, in particular from Barry Lichter in an article quoting Ray Green published on the Lincoln Farms website, although you’d expect that given Lincoln’s close relationship to Green and owner Merv Butterworth. Here is […]
