Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Where do you start about Grant ‘Moses’ Dixon’s drive last night in the Victoria Cup? During the week Dixon was openly admitting that in three seasons of racing, he had never taught Leap To Fame how to develop or use his gate speed. How Bizarre t was an astonishing confession, one that was incomprehensible to […]
Keith from QLD chimes in again with his views about the Victoria Cup. As usual we thank him for his contribution. Everyone has had an opinion and some have subscribed to saying Leap to Fame is the best horse in the world. That’s more than a leap. I’m happy to say he could be as […]
What a strange thing for Grant Dixon to say. In his 32 start career he hasn’t taught Leap To Fame the art of showing early gate speed. Why not? Surely a great trainer like Dixon would have taught his horse to explode from the gate, for it doesn’t make sense not to have done so. […]
What an absolutely outstanding contest tomorrow night’s Group 1 3YO Flying Stakes run over 1980m at Addington is, as you’d expect from a top-flight race that has been won over the years by champions of the ilk of Master Musician, Il Vicolo, Holmes GD, Courage Under Fire, Monkey King, Auckland Reactor, Changeover, Lazarus, and Copy […]
We have received advice that out story overnight regarding The Locomotive was incorrect, and that the horse has not in fact thrown a positive swab. In reliance on this information, which is clearly different from that received yesterday, we have removed the story from the website and wish to state unequivocally that is was incorrect. […]
This weeks Victoria Cup sees harness racings equivalent to the Cox Plate. History shows that the cream has risen to the top with an honour roll the epitome of excellence. This years race is one of the finest examples of that you’ll ever see. Having a legitimate barrier draw unlike the slot races has made […]
Ah what’s Keith been smoking or snorting? Not sure about Emma being too happy with her draws apart from HB Surely that’s a front line that the real not Kilmore Doo and LTF both go forward at the start, lead for which one has the most gates peed and gets there first and chair for […]
Young trainer Cameron Ross seemed to have been terribly harshly treated when he copped a 17 month disqualification after one of his horses threw a positive swab to Dexamethasone, an anti-inflammatory drug. Ross was a first offender, and stuffed up by nebulising his charge with Dexapent – a drug containing the substance – within the […]

The Victoria Cup – once known as the Winfield Cup, back in the dim, dark days when cancer stick companies were allowed to advertise their killer wares – has been a fixture on the Australian feature trot race calendar since 1975. Some great horses have won the race, with the honour roll featuring a who’s […]
