Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Andrew ‘The Canary’ Fitzgerald is a licensed New Zealand harness racing trainer/driver who holds himself out as a registered syndicator of race horses, specifically at this moment yearling standardbreds and old, tried, unsuccessful gallopers. The Canary isn’t really a syndicator though, no matter what he may pretend to be. He is a nothing but a […]
Hi Team Your Article on me was a good laugh completely untrue but a good laugh I actually take it as a huge compliment because it must mean she’s going great so really your saying I’m doing a great job because I’m a completely clean trainer and can sleep well at night because I’m a honest […]
Trot trainer Ben Hope hasn’t been to Sydney lately to borrow one of Turbo’s shampoo bottles, so he couldn’t improve his horse Refine by a dozen lengths at Addington last night like Carter Dalgely did. Hope is one of the Witches of Woodend Beach though, so his magic potions could improve it four seconds. It […]
The Cran Dalgety trained pacer Trixton Time boasted the unenviable record of 35 starts for just 2 wins coming into last night’s Addington meeting, and had not won a race in it’s past 8 starts. It’s best winning time was 2.00.0. It is strongly rumoured that prior to the running of Trixton Time’s race, the […]
Meet Max. He is a strong, powerful colt by BUY KIWI MARE from the well-bred Live Or Die mare LIVING GLORY. Or at least that’s what the Canary – Andrew Fitzgerald, managing director of Off N Racing Syndications – says, and he should know, because he owns Max’s mum, or one of them anyway. Living […]
Even time for 400 metres – or a quarter-mile (known as a quarter) – in harness racing is 30 seconds. 30 seconds is to 400m splits at the trots as 12 second furlongs are to gallops racing. The standard average time. A pacer who runs that time for four splits to record a mile rate […]
There are hot whispers from across the Tasman that all may not be as it appears with the Kiwi harness racing company Off N Racing Syndications, an outfit run by Andrew ‘the Canary’ Fitzgerald, the bloke who was with Cam Jones on the day he drenched one of his runners, and the man who lagged […]
Really? No precedent cases? I did a simple Google search, and I came up with 10 pages of them. This is nonsense. So is the notion that the race day Stewards have no responsibility for the right horses racing as themselves in the right races. That is absolute baloney. Making sure that there are no […]
About a month back we told you that the Queensland owned pacer Merlin was New Zealand’s best two-year-old. It seemed that up until about 6 o’clock last night a lot of Kiwis disagreed, for they backed his rival Seve from $2.60 into $1.50 in the heat of the Group 2 Young Guns pace at Alexandra […]
Where I grew up the starters at the trots were always neutral. The blokes on the track working with the horses were all there to get them faced up straight to the tapes, and to get them away fair and clean. They weren’t there to get one going faster than the other. That is the […]
