Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
I was laying in bed last night dreaming about the ideal field of Australasia’s best pacers that I would love to see race in next year’s Miracle Mile, as you do. Here it is. See what you think. Leap To Fame Australia’s best pacer. Triple Derby champion and six time Group 1 winner, would be […]
Vaughn Newman is a small time licensed South Australian trainer who lives just a couple of streets from Globe Derby, where to date he has been working his horses. He was doing exactly that 4 weeks ago when he noticed that the surface of the track was to his mind sub-standard, and detrimental to the […]
Dreams Are Free has to be one 0f the best bred young pacers running around on both sides of the ditch. By the champion US sire Captain Treacherous out of Start Dreaming, a mare who ran 2nd to the champion The Orange Agent, won a G2 Robin Dundee at Menangle, and threw the superstar juvenile […]
So much for Tasmania’s announced intention to implement new policies preventing any single trainer – specifically Ben Yole – from having more than half the field in a race. It appears to have gone the way of the dodo, probably the same dodo who wrote the policy replete with loopholes that you could drive a […]
Trainer/driver Michael Stanley absolutely and utterly slaughtered the odds on favourite Rock N Roll Doo in last night’s Geelong Cup. What the hell was he thinking and doing? Nothing and nothing it appeared. First he decides to ease the fast beginner Doo off the arm at the start from gate 3. WTF? This is a […]
This is the 5th race at Addington last night. Keep your eyes on the horse in the green and white 4 back the fence. Watch closely it’s inside wheel. Driver Bob Butt clearly breached the rules here, and his horse KD Hawk should have been disqualified from its placing in the race and he should […]
This is what Ben Hope told the Stewards when asked last night to explain his plunge horse Pure Courage’s massive turnaround in form and 5 second improvement on his PB at his 58th start. If the stipes believe that then they must also believe in fairies. Hope forgot to mention the shampoo and the sand. […]
Prominent Kiwi trainer Mark Jones – whose lawyers never replied to us after we gave them The Angels salute – doesn’t have his stables at Woodend beach, but our people tell us that he has been spotted out there regularly in recent times working his horses on the magic sand. It shows too. Just watch […]
Race 4 at West Wyalong on 13 October This is one way to get the pesky horse in the 1-1 off your helmet and off your back when you are death seating I guess. It’s not quite the done thing though. The backward horse butting driver Michael Hardy copped 14 days out for his act […]
See the $2.70 favourite on the NZ TAB to win race 1 at Addington tonight? Pure Courage is his name, and he has been smashed in the betting. They started getting into him when the markets opened and they haven’t stopped. But why? This horse has atrocious form, just 2 wins from 57 starts, the last […]
