Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
I want to introduce you to Craig ‘Fergo’ Ferguson, aka Fungus. Fungus is a trot trainer. The most improved trainer in the world. In the four seasons from 2017-2020 he had 304 starters for just 17 winners. Horses trained by him won $171 954, at an average annual earn of $42 989. He was struggling. […]
I know the mare Angel of Montana very well. Very well indeed. In fact I think I might have been there at Karaka when she was purchased, and I might have followed her career from the day she was first hoppled up too. So when I tell you that she is no good, I ain’t […]
Why is that so many All Stars runners over the years have contracted viruses or tied up early on in their preps? It’s uncanny. I wonder what they treat them for to fix it? Wouldn’t it be lovely to know. Editor’s note: Akuta and Franco Mac ran 1-2 in the Group 1 Canterbury Flying Stakes […]
The 2YO that I have been telling you was a champion before he even raced – Merlin – won the Harness Million at Addington last night. It’s a race that some pretty handy horses have won over the years: Akuta, Lazarus, Changeover, Bailey’s Dream, Il Vicolo and Courage Under Fire are just a few. Courage […]
It is simple, and highly effective. 5ml Formaldehyde, mixed with 25ml of Saline. Embalming fluid and salt water. Guess what there is a lot of at beaches? Salt water. Know the funny thing though? The beach trainers don’t even bother with the water. Bang! Formaldehyde straight into the vein. It works like a dream. It’s a […]
Before today Teddy Baker had raced 15 times and the best he could do was finish 3 placings. A few weeks ago he gets transferred from the stable of the stable of A.F.H. Hunter to that of T.M.A. Dewe. TMH is Tyler. He is a teenage kid who only got his license three weeks ago. […]
Race 2 HRNZ Annual Conference 2YO Pace – no 4 Sherlock This bloke is really, really smart, but has been crucified by bad barriers at his two starts to date. That all changes on Friday night. You are going to see a very different Sherlock here. One who is a winner. Race 8 Canterbury Flying […]
Archibald Did Harness Racing New Zealand have to give the Cambridge harness racing club (Waikato-Bay of Plenty) money to pay the prizemoney for the The Race by Grins (editor’s note – the Grinner), after they club went cap in hand to them after they discovered that they couldn’t pay all the stakes money for THE […]
On Friday night at Auckland they programmed a trot race for horse rated 60 and above. For those that don’t know the trots and the system, a rating 60 is a Class 2 in the gallops, and a Grade 4 at the dogs. The top rating at the trots is 120, which is Group class. […]
The birds are chirping, especially the little yellow ones, even if the mail comes from a bowler name. They say that supposedly inland based trot trainer Mark Jones has inexplicably been seen out at Woodend Beach a bit lately. Funny that. Jones trained three winners at Addington last night. Two of them were at a […]
