Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Globe Derby Park The question that everyone in South Australia is asking is how much longer racing at Globe Derby Park can last? With a seemingly ever dwindling horse stock in the State and not enough yearlings being bred to maintain or replenish those that retire each year, and the control body Harness Racing SA […]
The horse drawn the pole Amys Baby Angel was backed from $2.60 into $1.33 on the TAB. Whata Optimist drawn behind it in 7 firmed from $7.00 into $4.20. The fluctuations made sense, because it was a weak race and Amys Baby Angel looked certain to hold the front early with What Optimist equally […]
Kyle Wilson Taylor, in the yellow and black diamonds near the inside, has copped a 3 meeting suspension for severely interfering with rival rider Ben Price, costing his mount all chance in the race and nearly sending Price over the fence. It’s a pretty light suspension when set against the severity of the interference caused. […]
A month or two back we got the tip that trot trainer Gaita Pullicino was planning to sell her training property in SA and relocate her racing operation to QLD. At the time we made some inquiries with people associated with the Pullicino camp and were told that it was not true, so we backed […]

There was much conjecture that Japanese jockey Shuichi Terachi may have jumped off his mount at Port Augusta a couple of weeks ago. We came out and said that was nonsense, and declared that the kid fell not hauled off. Well guess what? The Stewards report is out now, and it is confirmed that the […]
More than one punter was skeptical about the fall below in the 7th at Port Augusta on Sunday. Some even suggested that the jockey in the dark blue colors 3rd the fence might have jumped. So to dispel these suspicions we went and asked a couple of decent riders of our acquaintance their opinion. The […]
Whatever happened to the million dollars that the SA Government pledged to spend to transform Gawler from a crazy shithole track to a metropolitan circuit with lights? Anyone seen a dinosaur lately?
