Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
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 […]
We wrote this about Phil Burrows, the cheat who along with the human Matty A not the horse (see story to follow) had been caught red handed drenching a horse of his who was racing that day on the NZ Cup card in an event worth $140 000, money that he was breaking the rules […]
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 […]
Why don’t I suck yours and Smith’s cocks as well- u power crazy cunts U need to know Smith is a thief a nark and a POWER CRAZY cunt who’s mission in life is to fuck me over What a wanker u are for suggesting that Fuck u fuck the board u win No they […]
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 […]
He’s red hot the Canary isn’t he? I refer of course to Andrew Fitzgerald, the owner/promoter of the dodgiest syndication outfit north of Dunedin, the deliciously named Off N Gone Racing. In May last year the Canary sold a bunch of suckers some shares in a slow six-year old mare by the name of Northview […]
So Major Miss is a yearling and a 2YO at the same time? It’s a good trick isn’t it? New Zealand’s dodgiest syndicator Off N Racing selling shares in it is too. Why? Because Studholme Bloodstock own the filly, and there is no lease registered with HRNZ. For the sake of the clarity that Off […]
A harness racing trainer injected a horse with vodka and then tubed it on the morning of the biggest trotting day of the year as he felt “behind the eight ball”, and just wanted to do his best. Phillip Burrows was disqualified from racing for 10 years by the Judicial Control Authority on Tuesday. The Herald can […]
Philip Burrows at age 51 is now a multiple convicted drug cheat, after pleading guilty yesterday to stomach tubing one of his runners on the morning of the NZ Trotting Cup, and being given a 10-year-disqualification for his sins. If after 20 years of cheating fellow licensees, owners, punters and the sport Burrows was going […]
