Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Here is a lesson to all wide-eyed battling trainers about how to stay in the game, eat out twice a week, and take the family on an overseas holiday at Xmas. Ever heard of a trainer named Jason Edwards? No? I’m not surprised, because he doesn’t want you to. Edwards only trains on average 12 […]
Nic Cataldi is the humble Rose Bay cobbler who cleaned up a couple of months ago on a multi with a $690 000 collect. A fortnight ago he followed up with another $16 000 odd collect, and we wrote a story calling him the man with the hottest hand in the land. Well we were […]
Bonno got 11.1% of the early quaddie. It paid $71.00 for a dollar, meaning that he collected $7.90. I hope he didn’t spend it all in one place. He had $10 each way on Something Bettor which ran 2nd and paid $2.10, so there is another $21.00. Running total $28.90. And he got the trifecta […]
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.

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.

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 […]
