Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Archie Did you watch the trial at Albion park today? Dangerous. What a disgrace to the sport this is. Apparently Grimson has only had the horse a week. He’s no GOAT, he is a fucking cheat. My mates have trained heaps of Group 1 winners and they couldn’t do that. No-one is that good. It […]
Jason Grimson has had Dangerous for at best a couple of weeks. He got it off the horse’s life long trainer Shane Sanderson, a Group 1 winner. Dangerous has always been a very good horse – he ran 4th in the 2024 Inter Dominion final – but he has never been considered a superstar. Not […]
Why the hell do some people keep trying to fix things that aren’t broken? The Auckland Trotting Club tried to become property developers so that it could ‘secure the future of harness racing’, which was already sitting pretty and travelling well. Instead they sent the sport into the abyss, and their club and track with […]
Jason ‘Jill’ Grimson had three runners in yesterday, 2 at Menangle and 1 at Albion Park. They all won. https://www.harness.org.au/racing/trainers/jason-grimson/ He has two in at the Creek on Saturday night, Tokyo Rose and Maxo Mighty. The chances are that they will too. Most of Jill’s do. And the Winter Carnival hasn’t yet really begun. The […]
Kevin Seymour is all the above. Smart in this context because he entered three mares in the QLD Sun – an automatic qualifier for the G1 Rising Sun – and thus under the preferential barrier draw by age and sex conditions of the race secured the trio the inside barriers 1-2-3. Lucky because his other […]
How on earth did the starter let the first at Melton on Saturday night go? It was clear that the horses on the back line were not up on the mobile, and were thus denied a fair start. Anyone could see it, except the starter. All three on the back row were declared non-runners by […]
A lot of people are question the photo decision in Don Hugo’s race at Menangle on Saturday night, and I must admit on the night I was one of them. The outside horse with the momentum usually gets the close decisions in the photos there, and I thought Nyack had. But I had forgotten […]
Former harness racing identity Ben Sarina (pictured above) – currently warned off indefinitely, because only rapists, murderers and terrorists get minimum terms on their sentences – has won his appeal against a second disqualification imposed on him for his conduct in a private dispute between he and a then former Steward that culminated in an […]
My namesake debuts in race 2 at Rockhampton today. It will be a good bit of free advertising for the website if it lives up to its trial form. The racehorse Peter Profit shares the same name as the great QLD pacer of the 1970’s after whom this website is named and, ironically, his great […]
Whatever happened to the million dollars that the SA Government pledged to spend to transform Gawler from a crazy shithole track to a metropolitan circuit with lights? Anyone seen a dinosaur lately? It looks like the million has gone the same way. So short the promised seven figures, and stuck with a long term lease […]
