The Sunday Roast Was Getting Cold on the Table, and It Was Raining, and They Didn’t Want to Get Wet – Slaughter at the Sunshine Coast, Brought to You by Brad Stewart and the Stipes
The integrity of Queensland racing has been questionable for a long time. Strange decisions are being made by Stewards. Swabs are rarer than a Penny Black stamp. Even stranger things are being ignored. Just when you thought the huge concerns couldn’t become any deeper, yesterday at the Sunshine Coast they did. Watch the replay […]
All Hail Merlin – The Wizard of Broz
About a month back we told you that the Queensland owned pacer Merlin was New Zealand’s best two-year-old. It seemed that up until about 6 o’clock last night a lot of Kiwis disagreed, for they backed his rival Seve from $2.60 into $1.50 in the heat of the Group 2 Young Guns pace at Alexandra […]

The Hottest Race in Aotearoa, The World – Part 1: The Race
Race 7 at the Ascot Park Invercargill trots last night was the hottest race in the world this week, the world being New Zealand. There were two heavily backed horses in the race: Mabalene, driven by Brad Williamson, which firmed from $10 into $7; and Show Me Heaven, steering by Tim Williams, which was $3.20 […]
The Hottest Race in Aotearoa, The World – Part 2: The Problem
T. Williams was driving for Team Telfer, and his horse was owned by that stable’s backer Stonewall Stud. Stonewall Stud is owned by Steve Stockman, a well-known huge punter who for reasons no-one can understand spent $3 million at last week’s yearling sales. Some suspect that he might have been trying to get some back. […]
Youth is Wasted on the Young – Just Ask Super Mac
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/nsw/PCC15022201.mp4 I did my best to tip you into the winner of race 6 at Menangle yesterday, and I hope you listened, for if you did you will be three times richer right now than you were 24 hours ago. The smart readers like Putt Mad Peter are, that’s for sure. They’ve showed me the […]
This is Why One Trainer Should Be Allowed to Have Half the Field
There were six starters in race one at Gloucester Park last night. Donald Harper trained three of them. One was backed like there was no tomorrow. It was drawn 2, and lead easy. Its stablemate slipped into the death, and the other stablemate jagged its back in the 1-1. Game over. Except for one thing. […]
I Stop Trains
Gary Jubelin catches killers. Superman leaps talls buildings in a single bound. I stop trains. Yesterday I had my last on the Hayes trained topweight Autissiodorum in the 4th at Bendigo. I was counting the cash at the 200 metre mark. And then just as I started to get out of my chair to perform […]
