Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Isn’t is amazing what can happen in a week? I put it all down to Jill. 7 days ago Captain Ravishing was a certainty to run in the Eureka, and Jason Grimson – who just days before the horse’s ever loving owner Hass Taiba had sworn to me wasn’t training him – was the messiah, […]
My son-in-law. Don’t be too impressed. He’s got a bad head. If you think he’s big, you should see the nephew. Polynesians are much bigger boned than Palagis like my daughters hubby Dan. I guess my brown lad hasn’t won QLD MMA titles though. How much are 3 plane fares to Adelaide do you reckon? […]
One is that Captain Ravishing will not run in the Eureka. Two is that one of the 4 current reserves Naturally Gifted will. Three is that Turbo will withdraw his appeal after the Eureka, Let’s see how close I get to the money. Just you wait and see.
For the sake of clarity, the stay granted to Jason Grimson lasts for a maximum of 20 days, which is the period in which the Racing Appeals Panel must hand down a final decision in the matter of Jill’s appeal. Same with Jack Trainor. Interestingly the NSW Stewards have been out doing dope tests on […]
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 […]
