Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
What you see above are is the prizemoney won by the no 1 earning trainer in each trot state of the nation. South Aussie doesn’t look too good does it? In fact it looks Edgar Britt house. That’s because it is. How does any bugger make an earn down there without cheating to supplement their […]
Yesterday we published a letter from Harold in Hampden Park about deaths of harness racing horses on tracks. In it Harold claimed that we were harsh and ignorant vis a vis our observations about the death of a healthy 4YO pacer during a race. He claimed that 1 in 20000 harness horses dies during competition. […]
The Chariots of Fire run on the first Saturday in March is Australia’s best 4yo race and a breeding ground for champions. We have a go here at picking our dream field for the race. What do you reckon? Merlin Don’t Stop Dreaming Sooner The Better Comment: New Zealand’s top trio of 3YO’s are each […]
Matthew Charles Purvis, of Woodend Beach, pleaded guilty in the Greymouth Court last week to one count of common assault relating to the incident in the club room toilets at a West Coast trot meeting that left the victim, a fellow licensee, suffering serious injuries. Purvis sentence is presently unknown, but we are told is […]
We lost a good solider today pic.twitter.com/lMQ1OypKVL — Ed Burrett (@edburrett) January 7, 2024 No the Krahefish’s brother and sidekick isn’t deceased. He has simply left the trot twittersphere, which he served so well. Perhaps he will spend his newfound spare time helping his bro to bet to what he tells the world he will […]

Our Cosmic Major – note the stable change It would have been a surprise to many not in the know to see Luke McCarthy back as the named trainer of the Cobbitty Equine Farm horses last night at Menangle, with the NSW premiership winning bowler Belinda McCarthy seemingly having retired from the main game. There […]
Stravinsky has been a very limited performer for a long time now, more than a year to be sure. Not even Emma Steward could get more than one win out of him in December the year before last, and after that he was banished to the wasteland of Tasmania, where Bianca Heenan couldn’t really get […]
Maj0r Major had 45 starts for his former trainer Geoff Webster, and won just 4 times, one of them over the 1200m mad dash. Just like they have with other Webster trained pacers before him, the owners decided to send him north to the barn of the miracle man Sir Jason Grimson for a bit […]
Russell Jack knows a thing or two about training a harness horse too, what with winning Group 1 races against the Emma Stewart machine and all. He did pretty well with Hi Mynameisjeff, winning 7 races from 18 starts with him after picking him up from the stables of small time trainer Rod Coelli a […]
