Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
South Australian racing authorities have quite rightly introduced a new rule limiting the number of starts a horse is allowed to have in a specified period of time. Except they didn’t. There is no number, and there is no timeframe. The Stewards can just make it up as they go. Isn’t that brilliant? This is […]
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?

At this stage […]
Have you ever seen a mid-winter nothing sort of meeting that has 10 Stewards officiating at it? You have now. South Australia is a weird and wacky place. This just proves it.
See where the markers are above? There were 2 horses drawn off the front. And $82 shot on the inside, and the Ryan Hyrohorec trained and driven $2.10 favourite on the outside. The horse on the supposed 10m mark drawn inside Hryhorec’s horse was in the market too. Watch what happens. You would have to […]
