Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Well we’ve clearly got Jason Bonnington rattled after we towelled him up on his home turf last week, for everyone’s favourite white sports coat and red bow tie wearers bets are all over the show, he’s claiming the win price on place bets, and there are Hail Mary exotics for Africa. You can find Bon […]
We have been telling you for a month that Robert Dunn was going to be appointed to the board of Harness Racing New Zealand haven’t we? Well bingo is it. Yesterday Dunn’s appointment as a Director of the Kiwi control body was formally announced. In making the announcement HRNZ’s spin doctors did a lovely job […]
There is nothing like a trip across the stormy seas of the Bass Strait to spark an old walker back to life, but don’t tell anyone that because all of a sudden all the seats on the ferry will be booked out by Lourdes style pilgrims and Ben Chainsaw Yole won’t be able to bring […]
Bonno got the early quaddie for 83.33%. It paid $40.10, which gave him a return of $33.42. He had $20 a win on Aureus for a return of $70. Current balance $103.42. And he got an $8.80 trifecta ten times, for a return of $88.00. Closing balance $191.42 Win/Loss = LOSS $8.58 ROI = Nil […]
What’s a bird? This is. My mate Merv Butterworth is a big name in the trot world, latterly due to being the owner of the champion Copy That, one of the two best pacers in the Southern Hemisphere (his arch rival Self Assured being the other). Merv’s not as well known in the gallops world, […]
They say the man who put the bets on is Stephen Walters, the brother of ‘Roll Off (the Fence)’ Robert Walters, the man who made it all happen. Coincidence of great coincidences – Steve Walter is the the cousin of Mrs Ben Yole. Funny that. Steve Walters is or was a registered bookmaker. Even funnier […]
Neville Playingfield is the most accurate trop tipster in New Zealand, a man so deadly that his best bets rarely ever lose, which is why we call him the Guru. I’d love to say he spent 80 hours a week poring over the form to find us one or two a week that will put […]
Nic Cataldi, the cobbler from Rose Bay who was living out the back of his shoe repair shop in a bedsit with his ever-loving wife, became a national celebrity a month ago when he won $690 000 on a multi by backing 4 straight winners at Albany, in WA. The win turned the Cataldi’s life […]
They say when you are punting on the dice game craps you should always bet up on the shooter with the hot hand. The same thing applies when it comes to racing. Trainers, jockeys, horses, punters – they all hit streaks, and when do they are so hot that they’re smoking and on fire until […]
At Globe Derby on Monday a horse called Giftedfromtheheart was the medium of a nation-wide betting plunge that saw it frim from $101 into $2.90. The moment that the betting opened they started coming out of trees to back the horse, and the money didn’t stop until they jumped. For a moment no-one could understand why. […]
