Will Swayzee Ever Be Seen Winning a Race Again?
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 […]
Seaton Grima is the New Grimson
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 […]
Barossa Bill Takes His Hat Off to Trent Dawson
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 […]
Belle From Burnie Disagrees
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 […]
Who Does Leap To Fame Remind You Of?

How’s That For an Eye?
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 […]
Just Too Good
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 […]
There are No Flies on Clayton and Emma – Or Not Many at Least
They all get treated after they work. Quote from Emma Stewart. What about if they work on race day? Unanswered question from Archie Butterfly Who is the overall commander? Clayton is. The interviewer, prompted by C. Tonkin Are the young horses the only one getting steroids? Or does Clayton just work out real hard? Unidentified […]
We Sense Problems in the Bay of Plenty
At the same time as the Waikato-Bay of Plenty club that run the Cambridge trots is out there hawking for financial investors in once established but now just mooted property development of land surrounding the track, the two major architects of the plan have stood down from their roles running the club. Chairman Graham Bowen […]
