Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
In another great fillip for the local standardbred breeding industry, the 2nd of the SA 2yo classics the BOTRA Southern Stars series final was won by a pacer from the powerful Victorian Stewart/Tonkin stable just like the 1st, and like Miss Disturbia it was a non-sales entry too. Doesn’t it do woners for the local […]
This Steward’s report of race 7 at Albion Park is wrong. Isla Rochelle didn’t just shift inside the marker pegs on the final turn. It went to the sprint lane at least 4 and probably 5 pegs too early, meaning that it gained a 50m advantage on when it should have been able to access […]
So Shannon Suvaljko gets suspended for 12 days for shunting Chilli Palmer out onto Grand Couteau when (Suzalko) pushed off the fence into the running line right underneath him. Grand Couteau’s connections lose all chance of winning the race, the black type status and near on $30 000 in prizemoney. Who got the better end […]
Take a look at what Leonard Cain does on the leader here. Two things to know as you watch. 1 – The horse that comes around on his outside is trained by Cain’s great mate Jonah Hutchinson and driven by his partner Paige Bevan; and 2 – Bevan’s horse has been backed from $4.20 into […]
We’ve written twice recently about the ridiculous nature of the local push out rule in WA, the one that allowed Gary Hall Jr to shunt Never Ending off the fence at the bell in the Nullarbor and forcibly push Hot And Treacherous 3-wide for the last lap https://peterprofit.com/the-adjourned-inquiry-reconvened-and-the-cone-of-silence/ and the other the incident at Pinjarra […]
Can anyone on this earth please explain Nathan ‘Cracker’ Jack’s drive on Captain Tom to us so that we can all understand it, because right now it’s a mystery as deep as Loch Ness and twice as deep again. Have a look at it first. Captain Tom and Cracker start from gate 3. https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/nsw/EYC17052413.mp4 What […]
Luke McCarthy was put out for 7 days for causing interference to Crusader Miss and knocking her out of Gold Tiara contention via his drive on Kima. Kima’s the one coming around three-wide, Crusader Miss is the horse pushing one-off the fence as he comes. Did Luke cause the interference or not? It’s difficult without […]
There is a reason that several welts were dicovered on the rump of the pacer Family Tree after the completion of race 6 at Wagga on Tuesday the 7th of July. That reason is that the horse’s trainer/driver took it back to the stables after it had galloped at the start and taken no competitive […]
The theory sweeping through harness racing circles the nation wide is that the dream team of Jason Grimson (trainer) and Cameron Hart (driver) is no more. The theorists are claiming that the pairing which together won almost every race worth winning during their partnership of several years went their separate ways after the Goulburn Cup […]
How good are Queensland harness horses? Well that’s one question I think about as we near to the magnificent Constellation Carnival. Before Leap to Fame came along you’d probably say well they had Blake’s a Fake. Yes they did, and he was dominant for his time in the sun. This horse was at the top […]
