Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Every harness racing fan in Australia is excited about the Eureka, and so they should be too, for with Leap To Fame, Catch A Wave, Captain Ravishing and The Lost Storm lining up against each other head to head over 2400m it’s going to be an absolute cracker, one of the best races we have […]
With almost 2/3rds of the New Zealand racing season gone, the Stonewall Stud stable owned by Steve Stockman and managed by Steve and Amanda Telfer is sitting 6th on the Premiership Ladder with just 28 wins, and has earned only $430 000. The stable has 100 horses in work, which must cost a conservative million […]
Jack Callaghan’s was the drive of the race, not that of Grant Dixon. Callaghan sucked Dixon into doing exactly what he wanted him to do. Just when it looked as if Dixon was for sure going forward, Callaghan offered him the easy option of a nice spot in the line. It was a bit like […]
Here’s an idea on how they can “salvage” the QHTC stuff up. Racing Queensland buys out the Motorplex and builds the racing part of the centre there, including whatever community facilities that get suggested, and possibly the van/camping/cabin facilities on that block as well. Don’t know about Queensland weather but the existing track plan on […]
There is something severely wrong with the ancient ‘state of the art’ track at training centre at Byford in Western Australia. Two horses that we know of have died there in the past fortnight, although the good mail is that the real number is three. That’s just in the past month. We know of at least […]
JUST when it looked like all was lost for harness racing in Queensland to claw back a lost generation of fans, a ‘gift horse’ has arrived that promises to reignite interest in the sport. It seems rather ironic that the couple who has done more to save the code in the Sunshine State – Kevin […]
We have been very critical of Grant ‘Moses’ Dixon’s driving on this site, and have even gone as far as issuing calls for Kevin AM to pull rank and sack his trainer from the cart in big Group 1’s. I was wrong. Yes, you did stuff up by not going to Auckland earlier for a […]
At the tender age of just 21 or 22 – I am not sure which – ‘Happy’ Jack Callaghan is already the 2nd best harness race driver in the land, and he is improving by the day. He proved at Albion Park last night with his drive on Spirit of St Louis in the Sunshine […]
Watch this video at the bottom. Keep your eyes on Turb0, aka Jack Trainor the driver of I Cast No Shadow, the horse in the maroon and white colors. Turbo has got Leap To Fame his back, The reason that the champ is there is because Trainor has hooked out in front of him on […]
Well you can’t argue with that can you? The McMullen clan had 4 runners in the race named after their late grandfather J.C. (John) McMullen, otherwise known as Hollywood. They scored the quinella. In fact they ran 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th, with only Hes Charlies Angel splitting them. Fittingly the winner was trained by […]
