Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
We wrote last week about the major form and time improvement of a mare named Sally Bigtime, in a race that I am quite certain was a boatie. Sally is trained by Tom Callaghan, who holds a restricted license that only permits him to train horses that he or his close family members own, unless […]
Swayzee is a dual NZ Cup and Hunter Cup winner who has also won Victoria Cup and a Blacks A Fake. He led last night in the Roy Purdon Memorial and dictated the pace. The Lazarus Effect had won three Group races in a row, including last start the G1 Taylor Mile. He sat on […]
You can bet $2.15 at the moment about Chocs, and given that the market it set at around 130% you might even get even better. It is absolute money for jam. Take the tip. Just get on. This is what we wrote on Friday morning about Got The Chocolates chances in the Roy Purdon Memorial […]
The news that the connections of Kiwi superstar Marketplace have accepted a spot in the Group 1 Rising Sun at Albion Park in July should send shivers down every other slot holders spine. There is no 3 or 4-year-old horse in Australia who could possibly beat Marketplace even if he gave them start. This horse […]
I am quite certain that the Kiwi 4yo Got The Chocolates is the second or third best pacer in Australasia behind Leap To Fame, depending upon whether you think he or his great lifelong rival Marketplace is the better of the two.

Jason Grimson has performed many miracles during his career, winning back to back Inter Dominions with the pair of claimers Boncel Benjamin and I Cast No Shadow, and transforming Swayzee from a pacer that was getting thrashed in restricted races at Redcliffe into a dual New Zealand Trotting Cup winner being principal among them, but […]
The HRNZ individual horse search function is not working at the moment, so I cannot check to be 100 percent certain, but I could have sworn that the 3YO filly Seeking Clarity that competed in the Southland Oaks at Invercargill was trained by Matthew Williamson until about a week before the race, when she was […]
I am a great mate of his brother, but I personally wouldn’t piss on Nathan Jack if he was on fire. In my opinion the bloke is an absolute turd and a piece of shit. That is only my estimation of Cracker however, you can form your own opinion. What I think of a person’s […]
As you will remember from our story a few days ago Brad Steele finished up as HRNZ CEO last Friday. That being the case, why were he and HRNZ racing manager spending the weekend together in Invercargill on the weekend with all their not inconsiderable accommodation, travel, food and drink bills being paid for on […]
You would think that one of the main ideas of race programming would be to attract the largest crowd possible to the track wouldn’t you? You would be wrong. The NSW town of Goulburn has a population of about 25 000. Like in other towns the percentage of people willing to go to the races […]
