Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
I doubt that we are going to very popular in South Australia at the moment, for since we published our story yesterday about the horses that ran under the wrong numbers at Globe Derby without the Stewards noticing, they have now noticed. The official Stewards comments on the race have been changed. Suddenly the trainers […]
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 […]
See number 5 there? It’s not the horse that it supposed to be. The word is that South Australian police officers were at Globe Derby Park yesterday checking on the systems and checks and balance in regard to their ongoing investigation into the Shane Loone runners ring-in a couple of months ago. While the police […]
South Australian racing is a train wreck. It is a circus run by clowns. That is why the leading trainers like Tony McEvoy are bolting for the hills. Yesterday the Port Lincoln club had a lucrative TAB meeting included in a prominent place in the busy Sky Racing schedule, which is pure gold as far […]
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 […]
For some reason the cynical South Australian stewards believe that Super Mario (Borg) may not have wanted to cross his Aunty Gaita (Pullicino) and go to the lead in this race, even though he had so much of a jump on her horse that he could have steered a road train in, and backed it […]
Iden Forest is a slow horse, a proverbial toad. Or at least he was until Super Mario kissed him and turned him into a prince. Now he’s like Robin Hood. The Prince of Thieves. In all of his nearly eight years on this earth, Iden Forest had never run three sub-30 second quarters in a […]
Crossing the reins (also known as bridging the reins) – This means putting one rein over the top of the other, to form a small hoop about 10cms (4in) long, which you hold between your hands and which fits over the horse’s neck. It is often used by harness drivers to drive their horse with […]
Ryan Hryhorec is driving the horse behind the leader. He pushes out underneath Mario Borg in the black and white with red cap outside him, and sends the Maltese Falcon skidding sideways, straight into the horse outside him. They lock wheels and that’s their race done. Then he tries to do it to Dani Hill […]
Dani Hill is South Australia’s leading trot driver. She is also a match fixing cheat. If you don’t realise that by now you ain’t looking. Just in case you have just found your glasses after they have been lost for a couple of years though, here is another reminder. D. Hill drove the odds on […]
