Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Have their ever been two brothers as good as Leap To Fame and Swayzee in the entire annals of harness racing history? If there has I am not aware of it, and I have been following the trots for 50 years and am a student of the sport. Last night’s Hunter Cup was the sixth […]
There was huge controversy after the Hunter Cup when the judge declared Leap To Fame ran second. The Kiwis in the Republican Party team objected. Who could blame them? Their horse looked to the naked eye to have run second for sure. It went to the Stewards room. Finally after a long delay the stipes […]
If Jason Grimson is not the greatest trainer in the world, then who is? “He’s a drug cheating bastard”, I hear you cry. “Don’t call him great”. Sorry, I have to. Grimson’s never been caught for anything major other punting, and that was because he’s a desperate, a pulsie as they call then in TAB’s […]
Story by Jerilderie Jack The build up to tonight’s A G Hunter Cup is exactly what it is deserved of. Leap To Fame is a champion, Kingman may well be also, and whilst Swazyee isnt, if you owned him he would be! But I cant help think back to the greatest Hunter Cup I ever […]
Archie My view re your story about Herbie and the dead drive at Shepparton on Tuesday night, completely without any real insight. Alex Ashwood and James Herbertson are having a bit of a war right now. I don’t know why. Ego, competitiveness, a girl, a dispute over money, just plain dislike, or something else. It […]
You take a big risk of ending up with egg all over your face when you publicly pot the chances of a good horse in a race. Tell me about it stud. Yesterday in a story I declared that Debbie Lincoln couldn’t win the Group 1 Breeders Stakes at Addington for his rookie trainer Josh […]
I’ve known James Herbertson’s grandfather Geoff ‘Mick’ Clover for donkey’s years, way back to the days when my Mum and Dad used to have a beer with him after the Albion Park trots with him when I was a kid, and I love the bloke. The reason why is because he was (and remains) a […]
So here we are two days out from the greatest trot race than anyone 40 will ever see. The Hunter Cup. Leap To Fame v Kingman v Swayzee v Republican Party. Harness racing doesn’t get any better than this. There is a huge buzz. People who haven’t watched or bet on the trots for years […]
Brittany, Mick, Ryan, Bronte, TOC and Josh, with Dan Milecki calling. The dream team reunites. It’s not the horses who are going to be good at the Hunter Cup. Welcome back Britt. We’ve missed you. You too Mick. Kia Ora!
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/sa/GDC10012606.mp4 Have a look at the drive of Kevin Weidenbach on the 5 horse. He gets to the front after about a lap and then he sticks his whip in the air and looks back behind him. He is looking for Ben Weidenbach’s horse the 8, and is signaling to its driver Gaita Pullicino to […]
