Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Hot And Treacherous was a very smart young pacer in New Zealand who raced against the very best of his generation, and beat a few of them too. He was good when he came to Australia as well, but not grand. Then Jason Grimson got his mitts on the horse, and all of a sudden […]

I dubbed Seaton Grima the next Jason Grimson in a story the other week, and for good reason too, for just like Grimson he has a miraculous ability to take a tried horse from another trainer and put lengths on it. Grima did it again today at Menangle with a pacer from Canberra named Argent […]
The Tasmanian Racing Appeals Board has today denied Ben and Tim Yole and Nathan and Mitch Ford a stay of proceedings on the interim warning offs issued to the quartet in the wake of the release of the Murrihy Report. This means that none of the four will be able to train and drive unless […]
