This is a true story. A mate of mine was over in Nelson, New Zealand the other week, which is a really strong harness racing town, and being the evening of some pretty good trot races he and his missus decided to head to a well-known racing pub to have some dinner, a couple of […]
Mark Purdon, speaking to the NZ Herald on 13 February about the future of the All Stars Stable Well this doesn’t appear to have happened does it? As of today, the 9th of April – Happy 50th birthday Maggie – Mark and Nathan Purdon appear to still be the trainers of Self Assured. In fact […]
We have been writing for a long time now about missing presumed dead Ben Yole horses. Well, I can announce now with 100 percent certainty that we have identified two horses that Yole or his owners have notified Tasracing and HRA are retired, are in fact dead. Tarleton Reilly and Heidi Go Seek are the […]
It is not often that you see 2 demonstrations of genius in 2 different codes in just 2 minutes. I just did. David Moran’s drive on Soho Historia to win the $100 000 Riverina Champions Mares final was pretty as you ever see. Willie Pikes winning ride on Weaponson in the Old Comrade at Ascot […]

Self Assured is an absolute superstar, and has been since his break through 3YO season. The Mark Purdon trained pacer has a career record of 28 wins and 20 placings from his 52 starts, and he has only ever been beaten in Group races. Coming into last night’s Waikato Flying Mile Self Assured had won […]
