Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
This is Captain Ravishing’s trial at Menangle this morning. Owner Hass Taiba told me on the weekend that it was going to crack 1.50. I told Maggie that I was going to run a marathon in under 3 hours too. Both were equally untrue. If the Captain wins the Eureka I will walk backwards to […]
Why hasn’t Jason Grimson’s 12 month disqualification for assaulting another racing participant been published on the Harness Racing Australia website? Or on it’s website dedicated to the Eureka? After all, the Eureka is the biggest race ever in harness racing history, and Grimson has been widely publicised on the Eureka website authored by Adman Hamilton […]
There are some funny rumours floating around about the propriety of the ownership of the John Singleton slot in the Eureka. I cannot vouch for this, other than to say that the two unconnected people who told me about it can. They say that there is a silent 2/3rd’s share holder in the slot. The […]
We just spoke to owner Hass Taiba and the news is all good. Captain Ravishing is at Menangle. The rumours that Jason Grimson is training him are incorrect Hass assures us. He might be bunking at Grimmo’s place, but Ahmed Taiba is firmly in charge Hass assures us. Hass also revealed that the Captain sizzled around […]
ALL eyes will turn to Shepparton on Thursday night. That’s where the gifted but now somewhat mysterious pacing star Captain Ravishing will have his first official trial in preparation for the TAB Eureka. Trainer Ahmed Taiba said Captain Ravishing has recovered from a minor hoof issue after his solo Geelong workout last Friday week. “He […]
Pearl from Perth wants to know if every runner in the Singo is going to be pre and post race drug tested. After all she says, the winner is not necessarily the runner in the race that slot holder John Singleton is going to select as his runner, so if it is tested and all […]
The TAB Eureka is Harness Racing Australia’s most exciting race, and we are proud to be the naming rights sponsor of the event. The TAB will always back harness racing and its participants. – Adam Rytenskild, Managing Director and CEO Tabcorp, rights holders of the TAB, Eureka slot owners. There is a slight problem with this […]
I have no problem with using the retention barn for horses running in the Singo. In fact I support it. But I do have a problem with horses in that race being treated one way, and horses who qualified for the Eureka through races in Queensland and Tasmania being treated differently. Why didn’t the organisers […]
Aaron Bain Racing and Summit Bloodstock bought a 3-year slot in the Eureka for $300 grand. The 300 was supposed to have been paid cash up front. I’m beginning to doubt it. Bain-Summit are selling off their slot in what they call Mini Shares. For the bargain price of just 50 bucks you too can […]
Tasracing has never had much of a clue about anything, and it doesn’t have much idea about choosing a slot holder for the Eureka either. Or maybe it does, I don’t know. The go is that Tasracing have paid $300k for a 3 year slot in the big race. It’s slot holder is going to […]
