Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The Waikato Flying Mile is run on Thursday night. It is a great race, whatever they call it. It always has been. Look at the horses that have won this race will you? Luxury Liner. Christopher Vance. Ginger Man. Christian Cullen. Holmes D G. Young Rufus. Elsu. Mister D G. Bailey’s Dream. Auckland Reactor. Changeover. […]
The Eureka is the big talk of the moment in harness racing, and so a $2 million slot race restricted solely to Australian bred 4YO’s, with $1 million of the prize thrown in by non-slot holders should be. How good a rort is that? I reckon we should put on a 10 horse slot race […]
Natalie Rasmussen is in my book the 2nd best harness driver in the Dominion. I rate them this way. 1 Mark Purdon 2 Nat the Rat 3 Zac Butcher 4 Kate Gath 5 Luke McCarthy 6 Greg Sugars 7 Greg Hall 8 Blair Orange 9 Nathan Jack 10 Jack Callaghan Tell us yours and I […]
For a month now I have been telling people that a little bay colt from Queensland was the best 2-year-old pacer this season on either side of the ditch. Few except the wise believed me. More fool them. Take a look at this from Albion Park today in the heat of the APG Gold Bullion. […]
The Wagga Harness Racing club has appointed popular local sporting identity Bob Hay as its new CEO to replace the little liked Canadian import Gangles. Bob is an IT expert who has most recently been working running the systems at Charles Sturt University, and he has been involved in local footy and athletics administration for […]
As we told you after the Miracle Mile, Captain Ravishing is leaving the stables of Australia’s best trainers Emma Stewart and Clayton Tonkin. No explanation has been provided, other than the one that we gave you back hen, which is that Emma and Clay told owner Hass Taiba to take his horse and stick it […]
Lochinvar Art has just gone down at Yonkers. It was a bad beat too. The former Kirk Larsen trained Kiwi pacer Hemsworth crossed to the front early from the former Barry Purton trained Kiwi Bad To The Bone, with Lauren Tritton sitting quietky behind them in the death on Artie watching. After they had gone […]
Betterzipit’s New Zealand racing record. It’s not that flash is it? On Saturday night Betterzipit, a former reasonably well performed but far from top class Kiwi import trained by Jason ‘Jill’ Grimson, line up against a bunch of really good pacers, including two who had run placings in separate fair-dinkum Inter Dominions (definition: ones run […]
In harness racing a horse has to qualify to be eligible to race. They qualify by running in trials so that the Stewards can be satisfied that they are appropriate horses to represent the sport on the public stage. Stewards come and Stewards go, and in this world we all see things slightly differently, even […]
Dismissed. I wonder if the driver of the winner got fined for a frivolous protest? The driver of the 2nd horse Wonderful To Fly should have been. Shane Young’s 2 v 1 protest was a bigger waste of time than the 1st v 2nd. RWWA is the biggest waste of time of all. https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/wa/GPM31032304.mp4
