Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
It doesn’t matter whether Jason Grimson is training or driving, you can’t beat him. He is just too good. Take a look at the last race at Menangle yesterday if you don’t believe me. Outside Fighter is a 9-year-old battler trained by by hobbyist Julie Henman, who only has two horses racing. Including yesterday, the […]
Gloucester Park is the capital of Western Australian harness racing, the metropolitan track sited on prime inner city Swan River land directly opposite Optus Stadium. It should be a pristine showpiece for the sport. Instead it has become an absolute hovel. These pictures were taken at GP before the first race on Tuesday evening. What […]
Archie I might have to respectfully disagree over the “closing country tracks saves money” narrative, as experience shows that “decreasing the footprint” via country track closures and a reduction in meeting dates in WA, has had a catastrophic effect on numbers of licensed participants, number of owners, number of breeders, number of foals and ultimately, […]
Hey Archie A couple of ones for you to consider, firstly the Lions getting up, what a sensational game, but the behaviour of the Hawthorn supporters at the end was disgraceful and so typical of these supporters who walk around with the cock strut that says we are here to claim our god given right […]
Hey Archie, Re: Grant Dixon’s drive… If you take this drive without looking at the past few FFA’s (most importantly referencing last week’s FFA), it is easy to say, what the hell was Grant thinking? However, it needed to be done! He needed to make a stand to end the constant team driving of Pete […]
If you were a seriously cynical type you would swear that Grant Dixon drove Tims A Trooper to get the long odds on favorite Attachment beaten in race 7 at Albion Park on Saturday night, and perhaps to set it up for the winner Dashing too. Given Dixon’s industry wide reputation as a straight shooter […]
A new horse makes its debut for the Jason Grimson stable tonight. Serg Blanco is its name. Like most of the Grimson stable it is an older pacer who has been plenty of places before. At its past 4 starts Serg Blanco has: won an NR65 and up at Mildura finished 3rd in a race […]
Complicated was backed from $7.50 into $2.50 to win race 5 at Young on Tuesday night. Entering the back straight Complicated was in front and cruising, and punters in on the plunge were counting the cash. The in the blink of an eyelid the favorite broke into a wild gallop and their money was gone, […]
You wouldn’t have wanted to be a trot punter chasing a cheap multi with either or both of Grant Dixon’s odds on shots in it at Albion Park on Tuesday. Fredidrivsamercury was the first one. It started at $1.28. Anyone who took it was mad, for Fredi was a 3yo taking on older horses, and […]
Memo to the Marburg trot Stewards. When your idiot’s guide to writing a race day report says “Delete if nothing to report”, you really should do it. Otherwise you look silly. And so does the organization that has to tell you what to do. As Homer Simpson says. D’oh.
