Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
It’s wonderful to hear that harness racing’s share of TAB revenue has increased from 6.9% to 8.2%, especially given the moron that they’ve got running the joint. I don’t know if it says more about the skills of the tr0t boss Best Wishes Dean, or about the ineptitude of the folk in charge of other […]
The Racing Appeals Panel were kind enough to give old Alan Donohoe – the once young man who drove the great QLD pacer of the 1970’s Peter Profit, after whom this site is named – a stay of proceedings 0n his 6 month DQ for hitting his horse The Hummer with painkillers. What’s hilarious is […]
As breathtaking as pacing sensation Leap To Fame has been in recent weeks, he couldn’t be further outside his comfort zone tomorrow night from a wide draw in a sprint race @TheCreekAlbion It’s by far his biggest test yet says @Dashman01 and I agree.https://t.co/kDK6y40neT — Adam Hamilton (@AdamHSport) July 14, 2023 Darren Clayton is apparently […]
Trainer Tony Herlihy MNZM had three runners in race 3 at Alexandra Park last night. Park Lane, Busload of Faith, and Jethro Bodine. One of them – Jethro Bodine – has been smashed from $3.60 into $1.90. It’s the one. Everything goes to plan early. Park Lane leads. Jethro Bodine gets the sweet cover and […]
Race 9 at Albion Park. Majestic Cruiser. Last year’s Blacks a Fake winner hasn’t had an inside draw like this since Jesus played football for Jerusalum. Her goes straight to the lead and wins. The favorite Taipo couldn’t blow smoke up the Cruiser’s arse. Sell the cat and the car, and whack it all on. […]
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 […]
What can you say hey? The starter at Bathurst hooked the start of race 2 to advantage his two runners in the race. He backed them both, the winner more than the one that ran second. With the advantage given by his cheating start. If the NSW integrity team don’t act on this one they […]
Michael Boots is as Australian as a koala, or Vegemite, or a baggy green cap. There is no Kiwi in him, and you will never see Bootsy in a black jersey. He’d rather cut off his left nut. Andy Ellis, Kieran Read, and Dave Hewett wear nothing but black, from dusk to dawn and then […]
