Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
It took HRV a while, but it appears that they have finally stepped up to the plate. I suspect that the harnessweb program for transfer of trainers isn’t up to scratch for recognising a disqualified trainer on a stay, and that it just allowed the trainer change as it would any other uncontroversial trainer trainer […]
I wonder what’s happened at Harness Racing Victoria that precipitated the giant backflip that has seen the integrity department reject the transfer of horses from Emma Stewart to her partner Clayton Tonkin, almost two weeks after the transfers happened and were approved? It certainly is a huge turnaround from when we first raised the issue […]

Swayzee’s trainer Jason Grimson has announced that his horse will miss the Hunter Cup and the Miracle Mile, and be put away for a long, long spell. The cynics among us wonder if it will be forever. None of Grimson’s reborn slow pacers turned Group 1 winners ever seem to come up for 2nd or […]
Jason Grimson has built his public name as a trainer on taking used horses and turning them into stars. His reputation in harness racing circles is built on something else again. Seaton Grima is the new Grimson. Grima is getting previously ordinary horses from their former trainers and making them run as fast as Leap […]
Give Trent Dawson drive of the night honours. The initial play was which one of the two on the inside would immediately give up the lead to Swayzee, but the important X factor came into play when one driver strangled his horse to give up to Shane Grahams horse Turnitup, who would immediately give it […]
Editor’s note: FA is Future Assured, LTF is Leap to Fame Of course it was, no way Dixon would have been so positive out the gate to lock Swayzee up if he didn’t know the front was there for him for sure, of course FA (or anyone else) had no chance going back at the start […]
The Black Stallion. Mr Seymour’s champion isn’t black, but the two horse’s actions make them dead ringers. He was a pretty fair racehorse the Stallion too. I doubt he would have beaten Larry though. Last night no horse could.
I remember being at the APG Menangle yearling sale in 2029 back when they’d still have me watching Grant Dixon and Kevin Seymour buy just two lots, both of them cheap, one of them the last lot of the day. The first lot was Tims A Trooper, who Mr Seymour AM bought for just $17 […]
It’s hard to believe that there is a better trotter in the world than our ID23 winner Just Believe, but there are a few, principal among them the French square gaiter Hohneck who won the Elitloppet. All I can see is that the frog must be some sort of trotter, for on the strength of […]
