Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
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 […]
Hi Pete, What the hell is going on with our South Australia Harness Stewards? Dean Girardi’s drive on Oaklander last Wednesday at Port Pirie that you wrote about was a disgrace. So now you can take on a $1.75 pop and get beaten 112 metres and no action will be taken? Instead the Stewards blame […]
This race at Port Pirie on Wednesday was off. The horse drawn the 1 Delightful Dream was the opening favorite and blew from $1.70 out to $2.00. Number 3 Lochinvar Leader firmed from $2.70 into $1.80 to start as fave. The 2 Oakhay blew from $13 out to $34. We soon found out why. Driver […]
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? It looks like the million has gone the same way. So short the promised seven figures, and stuck with a long term lease […]
I don’t know what it says, or what it is all about, but this clearly offensive graffiti appeared on disqualified trainer Luke O’Neill’s fence this morning. It appears to be tit for tat for the crap that has been painted on the Johnson family’s fence and at Globe Derby recently. The whole thing is madness. […]
The malicious campaign against SA trot trainer Lane Johnson has begun again. What has this bloke done? And who has he done it to? We have some idea, or at least we know what we have been told. If it was us we wouldn’t be painting things on walls. we would be dealing with it […]
It rained 6mm at Parafield last night, just down the road from Globe Derby. That’s less than a quarter of an inch. But it was enough for them to call the Globe meeting off. WTF? What has happened to this track since they started doing all the land developments around it? Has it stopped draining […]
