Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
We keep telling you that Mitchell Dawson is the second greatest trainer in the world behind Jason Grimson, and last night the man they call the Quiet One proved us right. We told you all about the amazing improvement of the M. Dawson trained trotter Aldebaranstilinski a couple of weeks ago. Mitchell Dawson is the […]
Strikem is a blood sucking vampire posing as a pacer. One of those horses who just loves getting beating when its priced in the sauce. This former Kiwi cat is weak-hearted non-trier. Since coming over the ditch to QLD a year ago Strikem has been beaten at odds of $1.12, $1.10, $1.75, $1.90 and $1.15. […]
A watchful observer will have noticed that all of Tasmanian trot trainer Connor Crook’s seven runners over the weekend have been scratched, five from Launceston on Friday night and two from Hobart on Sunday. There is a reason for this. It has not been publicly announced yet, but Connor Crook has been caught by Stewards […]
Didn’t Di is a 5-year-old gelding trotter that has won just 2 races from 20 starts, although it has gone alright lately thanks to being under the supervision of a trainer (Matt Purvis) who works out of the magic waters of Woodend Beach, being well placed, and benefiting from a claim. A pair of wins […]
The poor old Weidenbach family has been in the wars lately. Olivia got tied up with the Ford’s in Tasmania, and copped a criminal conviction and an 18 month DQ. Dumb young silly kid, who like all of us in our immaturity made a bad mistake. The problem is that by doing so she drew […]
Keayang Santiago had raced 57 times for trainers Margaret Lee (of Keayang Zahara fame), S Vasiliou, Luke Tabone, Jodie Quinlan and Matt Newberry and won just 6 races before it was sent north to the Bailey McDonough barn at Menangle. Since that happened a month ago its has won 2 from 3, and probably should […]
Can anyone tell me what Matt Elkins did different in this race at Albion Park yesterday to Angus Garrard than what Garrard did to Elkins in the race that we wrote about at the same track on Saturday night? It looked exactly the same to me. The outcome was different though. No action was taken […]
Harness Racing Nes South Wales paid correspondent Michael Dumesny wrote the words below that were published on the HRA website on Tuesday. I have never met or dealt with M. Dumesny, and have nothing against him at all. But what he writes in this story is absolute nonsense. For the simple reasons detailed in precis […]
It seems incredible how much the Chantal Turpin/Pete McMullen (pictured above) stable can improve hitherto slow horses that come over from New Zealand, and the 2-year-old gelding Aardie’s A Star which made its Australian debut at Albion Park today is yet another example. Aardie was anything but a star back at home, where he had […]
Hi Archie On the recent stories of ABR/Summit & TSR’s “break up”, i think one thing really needs to come into perspective. The absolute debacle that is Victorian Harness Racing. You highlighted it the other day when you mentioned the Ouyen Cup being worth $10k, much less than standard races in Tasmania. I have seen […]
