Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Bay of Biscay Race record: 13: 7-4-1 Best winning time: 1.51.4 (1609m Melton 13/7/24) 3YO whose only start outside its own age group was a last start win in a rating 80-89 race at Melton against a weak field of pacers other than the Victoria Oaks winner Aunty Bella, who was also having her first […]
The $2.1 million Eureka is the richest harness race in the world. Is it the best? No, it’s not even in the top ten in the Southern Hemisphere, let alone in the world. The AG Hunter Cup, Victoria Cup, Miracle Mile, Chariots of Fire, Blacks a Fake, Sunshine Sprint, NSW and VIC Derbies, NZ Derby, […]
Star WA pacer Never Ending is now the $2.50 favorite to win the $2.1 million The Eureka, run at Menangle in 10 days time. This is why. You don’t see many horses run home their final quarter over 2300m in 26.3 seconds like this horse did on Saturday night in his tune up for the […]
The Eureka landscape after last night turned out pretty much exactly as we predicted. Here is what we said would happen, and what did. Never Ending is likely to go back off the arm in this from the wide gate and be saved up for one run at them in the home straight. He won’t […]

There are huge doubts about whether Jason Grimson can get him up again and firing in time for the race. The Lost Storm was high up […]
The talk of the Gold Coast track is all about a pre-dawn police raid at trainer Mel Eggleston’s place at the Gold Coast at about 4am on Sunday morning. Apparently there were more than a dozen cops involved bearing warrants who went through his house like a dose of salts until 9.00 am, and took […]
This at top was the crowd at the Eureka 9 days ago at Menangle. This above was the crowd at Menangle just a week later on Saturday night. It seems that in all the excitement about a million dollars of harness racing money being injected into the Eureka on top of the cash from sales […]
Wasn’t it great to see people back at the trots? I don’t think that there was anywhere near the 10 000 claimed, but there were certainly enough to make it a great night out. Imagine how much bigger it could have been if they’d promoted it properly. What an incredible run from the death by […]
