Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
HARNESS racing has reached the stage in Queensland where some honest, hard-working stakeholders are convinced ‘the rats are running the ship’ and the stewards are doing nothing about it. A long-serving, highly respected gentleman has written to us in desperation because he claims complaints to the QRIC Commissioner fall on deaf ears and that apart […]
All in all, Turbo’s just another prick in the wall Have you ever seen a more blatant dead drive in your life than Jack ‘Turbo’ Trainor’s disgraceful display on It’s All About Faith in second race at Menangle on Saturday night? It was disgusting. This was a one goer this race, and the one goer […]
Race 1: CARPET ONE TOOWOOMBA CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1300m JERONIMOS Began awkwardly. Really? How? Pull the other one, it plays Jingle Bells. Momentarily held up rounding the home turn and again in the early stages of the home straight That wouldn’t be because Kissick steered it back to the inside and ran up arses would […]
I can’t remember seeing a more reckless piece of riding than that of Josh Parr on Hellish in the Inglis Millennium at Randwick yesterday. It puts Greg Hall’s madness on Merlene in the 1996 Slipper in the shade, Hall was put out for 2 months and fined $50 000, which would be worth double that […]
Mr Brightside’s run in the CF Orr yesterday wasn’t just the best of the day, it was the best of the entire year. Last year’s Doncaster winner ran the fastest sectional splits for every furlong except the first, and ran his final 1200m in 1.07.52, which was 0.34 seconds faster than any other horse in […]
Did you see Cafe Millennium win the first at Randwick yesterday? Holy hell, isn’t this some sort of colt? How do you drop out last four lengths behind the 2nd last horse and do what he did? Most 2YO’s can’t. In fact the vast majority of gallopers of any age can’t do it. But he […]
"Given the margin of a short-head and given the amount of interference it's the stewards view that had the interference not occurred that Jacquinot would've finished ahead of Gentleman Roy therefore the objection is upheld." pic.twitter.com/aeMyysTt0v — 7HorseRacing 🐎 (@7horseracing) February 11, 2023 I can’t see the logic of the Stewards upholding the protest in […]
Watch this. Keep your eyes on the Currie horse, the one with the red and blue sleeves and the yellow cap. See what the rider John Kissick did? My God. Kissick didn’t drop his hands because he thought he was home and got complacent. He did it so the horse wouldn’t win. This is disgraceful. […]
I’ve been saying it from day one, and I will say it again. Sharp N Smart is the best 3YO in Australasia, bar none. A lot of people don’t realise it yet, not over on this side of the ditch anyway, but mark my words it is true. This young gelding is a superstar. Did […]
Trot trainer Emma Stewart’s horses won $4.582 million dollars last year, in Victoria alone. Ben Yole earned $2.991 million, a staggering amount for a Tasmanian trainer, even if about $432 000 was won in Victoria. The next highest earning stable in the country were the Bonds in Western Australia, who won almost exactly half what […]
