Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
If you could raise $100 million for charity by trekking the Kokoda trail there’d be a line up half-way around the world to have a crack. What this crew are doing to help others is hugely admirable, and I tip my hat to them all. Dig deep and kick in. But the headline is a […]
JUST when it looked like all was lost for harness racing in Queensland to claw back a lost generation of fans, a ‘gift horse’ has arrived that promises to reignite interest in the sport. It seems rather ironic that the couple who has done more to save the code in the Sunshine State – Kevin […]
Campbelltown, City of Magpies and Dreams, broken ones the pair Either Tommy Berry is the most philosophical and eloquent jockey in Australian racing history, or a bloke with same first name is writing his scripts. I would bet the washing machine on the latter. Tommy Too has gotta be a Westie though doesn’t he? I […]
As breathtaking as pacing sensation Leap To Fame has been in recent weeks, he couldn’t be further outside his comfort zone tomorrow night from a wide draw in a sprint race @TheCreekAlbion It’s by far his biggest test yet says @Dashman01 and I agree.https://t.co/kDK6y40neT — Adam Hamilton (@AdamHSport) July 14, 2023 Darren Clayton is apparently […]

I thin Adman Hamilton’s forgotten someone. No-one important. Just the greatest trotter that Australia has ever seen. Maori’s Idol. He was rather good you know. The Kiwis I am sure might want to throw world record holder Sundees Sun into the mix too, as well as former NZ horses of the year and winners of […]
Remember Sally Snow, the former high profile trading manager for the TAB who looked like butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth? The one who proved to the world that looks can at times be very deceiving? Snow was the one-time face of the TAB who three years ago was warned off race tracks around the […]
So now, according to Jason Bonnington, a stock standard cold winter ordinary nights racing at Melton is Shakespearian. A three act play. My old mate Keith from Queensland is fond of pronouncing his deeply considered conclusion that any man who says that he doesn’t pull himself is a wanker. I wonder if Keith does it […]
Well known harness racing identity Alan Gaskell’s grandson who lives in Pattaya, Thailand is a handsome young man isn’t he? Isn’t nice of his pop to shoot over with a few mates to see him? He didn’t need to take any gifts of candy with him by the look of it. There is plenty of […]
