Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
I could have sworn that trot trainer Clayton Harmey said he was quitting the game after he got done for a positive swab to Levamisole about 18 months back. In fact fact after he was DQ’s until August 2025 I am certain that he did. Harmey even went as far as selling all his sulkies […]
Cherries On Top was probably a false favorite at $2.25 to win race 6 at Albion Park yesterday. The filly was drawn well in 2 but is a slow beginner, and was up in class. But based on her two recent wins at Redcliffe punters had a right to believe that she would be driven […]
We have it on excellent advice that the connections of the super smart 3yo Kiwi pacer Jumal, who won 6 races from 7 and more than $210 000 in his juvenile year, were recently offered a million dollars for the colt. And knocked it back. Wow. That is a hell of a lot of money, […]
The last time Republican Party raced against Leap To Fame in the NZ Free For All, his driver Carter Dalgety – the most talented young reinsman since Dexter Dunn – got to the lead first but then handed up. He couldn’t catch him down the straight. It’s pretty hard to when Larry is roaring home […]

Everyone’s favorite woman disrespecting former Albion Park CEO and convicted criminal offender Scott Steele (pictured at bottom) returned to his old stomping ground at Redcliffe last night to team up with his long time trainer mate Shane Graham for a winner in the last race. Diamantina Daisy was its name. which would have come as […]
Victorian trot trainer Naomi Kerr and driver Jack Laugher had a spectacular fallout last year involving Kerr’s partner David Vozlic, which saw the latter warned off for eight months after Vozlic childishly took offence to an equally juvenile Facebook emoji comment Laugher made on Facebook, and then went to the drivers room and assaulted and […]
I might have been too dismissive of Pete from Parkes opinion yesterday about Jett Turnbull driving a lot of winners trained by his father because they are juiced up. Two Different Opinions About Jet Planes In fact after watching the win of Centrefire in race 6 at Young last night, I am sure that I […]
In all the euphoria of living in the modern age, it’s easy to get carried away and forget the past. I do when I wax lyrical about Leap T0 Fame, and forget the brilliance of Blacks A Fake. Which one was better? I’m not sure. Blackie won 4 Inter Dominions, and ran second in another […]
