Oops, We Got That Half Wrong – But Not Quite
Relying on information from a usually 100 percent reliable source, we told you yesterday that the QRIC had challenged the QCAT by appealing the decision to allow Greg Bennett back into the trots. That was wrong. It was another matter entirely that the QRIC challenged. Their appeal against the Racing Appeal Panels decision in the […]
Aladdin Might Be Sane, But This Drive Isn’t
What on earth type of drive was this by Grant Dixon on the favorite Aladdin Sane in the 2nd race at Albion Park on Tuesday afternoon? Dixon had the 1-1, a position from where Aladdin would have won the race. But instead of staying in the plum position he took the $3.20 favorite to four […]
Gee It’s a Small World – When We Were Young
I was researching a story this evening about why the newly appointed Alexandra Park CEO Brad Steele was at the Creek today instead of in Auckland, when by chance I decided to take a look at the current Albion Park Harness Racing Club Directors, and lo and behold I came across this. My old mate […]
WTF? – This is Absurd
Don Hugo has won the Eureka, the Miracle Mile, the Blacks A Fake and the Inter Dominion. If Leap To Fame and Swayzee weren’t around he’d be declared a champion, and quite rightly so because he almost is, and in any other generation would be. Bay Of Biscay is better than somewhat too. He ran […]

The Redcliffe Gold Cup Field Selection? – It’s An Absolute Disgrace
How the hell have Hector, Tyson and Whos Delight got starts in the Redcliffe Gold Cup ahead of Greased Lightnin? Hector has won just 1 race from its past 23 starts. It is a rating NR107, but only on past deeds, not present. Whos Delight has won none of its past ten. It is rated […]
Aren’t You Supposed to Be Sent to the Outside of the Draw the Next Start After You Gallop?
The Kevin Seymour owned/Grant Dixon trainer Path To Greatness galloped away from the stand in the Flashing Red at Albion Park on Saturday night. Watch. It’s the horse drawn second from the outside in the Dixon black and white checked silks. Path To Greatness no doubt gallops. You can see it clearly. In any usual […]
Lucks a Fortune – Or Something Like That
There are ten races at the rich Redcliffe Cup meeting on Saturday night. All of them are random barrier draws. The odds of a single trainer’s horse drawing the coveted pole position in five of them are astronomical. Unless of course his horses are all owned by Kevin Seymour. Grant Dixon has drawn 1 (after […]
