Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Your author, 2nd from right, collecting a Group 1 trophy at Alex Park back in the days when the world was wide. Which was only about 4 years ago. There are eight races on the card at Alexandra Park tonight. Four of them are trot races, three from discretionary marks off the stand. Of the […]
I may have been slightly hasty when I earlier declared Leap To Fame to be the best pacer that I had ever seen, It was because I forgot the Bulldog. Bulldog Hanover. World record holder for the mile at 1.45.8 Pacer of four of the nine fastest race miles in history, including six victories in […]
Over the past week I have spoken to or emailed dozens of really good judges of the trots, and every single one of them – even the once crazed Popular Alm fans – tell me that Leap To Fame is the best pacer they have ever seen in their lives, bar none. We are talking […]

It’s driver Nathan Turnbull sure did line punters up bro. He drove it as dead as a doornail. Just watch the replay and you will see exactly what we mean. The Stewards have instituted an inquiry […]
