Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
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 […]
A horse named Our Mantra failed to finish in the Kangaroo Island Cup on Saturday. The five Stewards on a sojourn to the island for a weekend away must have all been watching Justin Huxtable making a goose of himself by standing up in the irons to give the salute and then promptly falling off, […]
See the horse above named Ghent? The one that has been backed from $7.00 into $3.50 without any falcons passing on a tip. It is trained by Gaita Pullicino. Gaita and/or her son have been banned from harness racing in just about every State in Australia, bar South Australia, which issued her a license to […]
