Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Give Trent Dawson drive of the night honours. The initial play was which one of the two on the inside would immediately give up the lead to Swayzee, but the important X factor came into play when one driver strangled his horse to give up to Shane Grahams horse Turnitup, who would immediately give it […]
Editor’s note: FA is Future Assured, LTF is Leap to Fame Of course it was, no way Dixon would have been so positive out the gate to lock Swayzee up if he didn’t know the front was there for him for sure, of course FA (or anyone else) had no chance going back at the start […]
The Black Stallion. Mr Seymour’s champion isn’t black, but the two horse’s actions make them dead ringers. He was a pretty fair racehorse the Stallion too. I doubt he would have beaten Larry though. Last night no horse could.
I remember being at the APG Menangle yearling sale in 2029 back when they’d still have me watching Grant Dixon and Kevin Seymour buy just two lots, both of them cheap, one of them the last lot of the day. The first lot was Tims A Trooper, who Mr Seymour AM bought for just $17 […]
It’s hard to believe that there is a better trotter in the world than our ID23 winner Just Believe, but there are a few, principal among them the French square gaiter Hohneck who won the Elitloppet. All I can see is that the frog must be some sort of trotter, for on the strength of […]
They all get treated after they work. Quote from Emma Stewart. What about if they work on race day? Unanswered question from Archie Butterfly Who is the overall commander? Clayton is. The interviewer, prompted by C. Tonkin Are the young horses the only one getting steroids? Or does Clayton just work out real hard? Unidentified […]
At the same time as the Waikato-Bay of Plenty club that run the Cambridge trots is out there hawking for financial investors in once established but now just mooted property development of land surrounding the track, the two major architects of the plan have stood down from their roles running the club. Chairman Graham Bowen […]
The horses that you see above are pacers trained by Ben ‘Chainsaw’ Yole. They look good don’t they? Ray Murrihy handed in his ‘independent’ report into claims of race fixing and animal abuse by Yole a month ago. The Tasmanian Government have been sitting on it. Last night Tasracing sent us their weekly spruik about […]
I never thought I would say this, but on the morning of ID23 I am missing Bonno. Yes I gave Jason Bonnington plenty of curry, and he deserved it, but at least the J-man attracted attention. Those that have replaced him merely inspire yawns. Most artists are half-mad eccentrics, whether they be actors, singers, chefs, poets […]
This is the HRV policy on what happens to the horses of trainers who are disqualified. They can’t ne transferred to the DQ’d licensees’ partner. So How can Clay get Emma’s horses? Because the Harness Racing Victoria integrity bosses Peter Chadwick (Chief Steward) and Rhys Harrison (Integrity Manager) obviously don’t know their own rules or […]
