Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
There were ten horses pre-race swabbed at Globe Derby on Saturday night. Four of the blood tests were taken across three races. The other six were taken from every runner in the last race on the card, a standing start trot race run at 10.21pm. Pure genius it was, so bloody clever that no-one in […]
Super Mario copped a 14 day suspension for his drive (in the video pictured above). It looks to us like he had plenty of room and was entitled to move over. What seems to have happened is that the driver of the horse that he crossed was the one who caused the interference to the horse […]
Paul Courts from Trot Guide reported that the shameful and extremely distressing armed robbery of the pokie room at Globe Derby a couple of weeks ago netted the machete wielding grub who pulled it off a few thousand dollars. Brazen thief robs Trotting Club I’d like to buy land off Courts, for our mail is […]
Remember we told you last week about the $101 into $2.90 plunge landed at Globe Derby on a Phil Westbury trained pacer? Well here’s two in a week. On Saturday night a horse named Run For Stikka was backed from $61 into $19 to win and land another big plunge. Run For Stikka, like Westbury’s […]
This is the Stewards Report from the race at Balaklava in SA on Wednesday afternoon where the stipes ordered that the race be started despite a horse being cast under the stalls. It’s become apparent that our information about a reindeer was wrong, and we apologise to those concerned for our error, and any reputational […]
Santa and the reindeer brothers grim What happened yesterday when the Stewards allowed a race to start while a distressed horse was lying stricken on the ground stuck under the gates was an outrage, an absolute disgrace. They did it because the race was running real late, and they didn’t want to lose their spot […]
At Globe Derby on Monday a horse called Giftedfromtheheart was the medium of a nation-wide betting plunge that saw it frim from $101 into $2.90. The moment that the betting opened they started coming out of trees to back the horse, and the money didn’t stop until they jumped. For a moment no-one could understand why. […]
Take a look at this replay above will you, and tell me if you think the infringement – if that’s what you call it, which I don’t – in the incident here is worthy of a 15 day suspension. You are looking at the horse in the death in the red with green V and […]
Getting diagnosed with terminal cancer is a trigger for most of the poor buggers to reflect back on their lives, and try to redeem their sins, in the hope that despite all that they have done wrong they still might somehow make it to heaven. Not trot trainer Shane Loone. He knows that there is […]
The last at Globe Derby last night was a weird one. It’s a three horse race. There were six, but Gaita Pullicino scratched one of hers, and Shane Loone pulled out two of his. That gave them both a run in a race that wouldn’t have been one of their scratched horses hadn’t accepted to […]
