Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
VIC – Stewards Supplementary Report Mildura – 1 July 2022 RACE 7 – TASCO PETROLEUM PACE (1790 MS) Stewards initially adjourned an inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the winner of the event Budd Sidewinder being able to obtain a run to the inside of the leader Sammys Ideal (Ashleigh Markham) inside the final 200m. During […]
This is race 7 at the Mildura Trots on Friday night. The leader in this race and the one on it’s back are $13 in the betting. Both are trained by Ashleigh Markham. He drives the leader. The horse in the death is the $1.25 favourite. Markham puts on a suicidal pace in front, running […]
South Australian trot trainer Luke O’Neill had three horses in race 6 at Globe Derby on Saturday night. He drove the one drawn the front in the blue, named enrolled. The other two of his were the two in black and white colours, the $11 shot Armchair Drive, and the $1.60 favourite Champagne Party. The […]
Note one very important thing. There is no mention by the Stewards that Luke O’Neill also trained the two that he deliberately let through. Why not? Yeah, why not? Oh, and note one more important thing. Race fixing isn’t just a rule breach offence any more. It’s a crime. The Stewards inquired into the circumstances […]
The biggest plunge seen at the WA trots for a long time landed last night on race 7 at Gloucester Park. Rolling Fire was the horse’s name, and it was backed from $81 into $10. It should have been too. This race was a boatie. For the uninitiated, a boatie means the raced was fixed. […]
Okay, you’ve heard what Jimmy Jacques had to say, and what he says the Chief Steward said. Everything is sweet. Bien Hoa jumped in fright at his own spit and knocked over one of the top 3 in the market. It was all sweet. Graham Loch said so. And they expect us to believe this […]
In 50 years of harness racing I have never seen a more blatant race fix that the one pulled in the first at Globe Derby. It was absolutely disgraceful, and you know what? Almost everyone was in on it. At the very minimum four drivers were – Michael A Smith, Dani Hill, Wayne Hill, and […]
The word out of Victoria is that many good judges hold grave concerns about the integrity of the last race at Echuca on Wednesday night. In fact they think it was a fix. I do too. So why don’t the Stewards? Here is the background. There are four horses in the betting. They are: Number […]
The Chris Frisby trained pacer Feelgood Express was backed from $1.95 into $1.75 in the 7th race at Redcliffe last night. I very much doubt it was the stable’s money. If it had been it is highly unlikely that Shane Graham would have driven it the atrocious manner than he did, most unlikely indeed. Feelgood […]
The mail is that talented Tasmanian harness racing trainer/driver Conor Crook has applied for and been granted 16 boxes at the newly constructed Shepparton Training Centre in Victoria, if and when it is ever completed (more on that later). His move can’t come quick enough for Tassie punters, who to a person are sick and […]
