Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
David Aiken trained 2 of the 6 runners in the Free-For-All at Melton on Saturday night. The pair were Max Delight and Malcolm’s Rhythm, both Grand Circuit horses. Max had won 2 derbies, a Breeders Crown and a Victoria Cup. Malcolm had run 2nd to Max in the NSW Derby – beating Lochinvar Art into […]
Jimmy Mack is the best pacer in South Australia by panels. Since coming across from WA the horse owned by Merv Butterworth of Copy That fame had won 12 of his 15 starts coming into the 6th race at Globe Derby last night, which is why he started at $1.28. The only times that Jimmy […]
This steer here by Brad Pengelly on the horse that starts the replay in 3rd last place in the red and white was the hottest ride in the world. If Pengelly didn’t hook this then I am Mick Dittman. Watch it side on first. Now have a look at the head on. Do you see […]
If, after all that we have told you, you still need any further proof that South Australian harness racing is ruined, and rotten to the core, then just look at the 2nd race at the metro meeting at Port Pirie last Saturday night. It was the hottest race in history, and the Stewards who officiated […]
Want to see a team driven race fix? Bridgetown in WA, wherever the hell that is, race 7. Trainer Ryan Bell has two in the race. One of them is Hillview Bondi, the favourite drawn in 1 that has blown from $1.12 to $1.25. Bell drives it. The other is number 6 Sound Wave, that […]
John ‘Lurch’ Dunn and his mates from Woodend Beach are hotter than Carl William’s crew were back in the gangland war days. They don’t shoot or kill anybody, but they sure do rob people blind. Just have a captain cook at this race will you? Bob ‘But But’ Butt trains and drives the 1 horse, […]
Harness racing in the South Island of New Zealand is on the nose, and the smell is so bad that the stench floats all the way across to the Great Barrier Reef. It’s not global warming that is killing the coral, it’s drug cheating and race fixing coming out of Woodend Beach. Race 4 at […]
Are these South Australian harness racing Stewards (a) absolute morons; (b) wilfully ignorant; (c) corrupt and in on the joke; or (d) all of the above? Based on the evidence of long observation I have come to the conclusion that they must be one or more of these things, for the poor decisions they make […]
If the Stewards don’t raise questions about the running of race 7 last night at Menangle, then we might as well lock up the integrity office, turn off the lights, and throw the keys in the Nepean River. This race was off like prawns left six days in the sun. Luke – sorry, Belinda – […]
Hot on the heels of the successful appeals against their criminal convictions by harness trainer/drivers Nathan Jack and Mark Pitt, another less high profile Victorian race fixing prosecution has last week collapsed. Victoria Police’s sporting integrity intelligence unit had in 2019 charged trainer/driver Robert Walters with two offences relating to race-fixing in Shepparton on 17 […]
