Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Torrid Saint’s improvement over the past 18 months has really been quite incredible. Two years ago the Douglas trained pacer was starting at 50-1 when drawn gate two in weak rating 70-79 affairs. Today the now model of consistency is beating genuine top liners and winning classics, just like he did last night in the Smoken […]
The Copy That camp are offering up plenty of excuses for his average Aussie performances, particularly the beaten run on Saturday night, but they are just that, excuses. Nathan Jack did slaughter him first up, there is no doubt about that. They got excited about him winning second-up in Australia, but the reality is that […]
Summit Bloodstock’s website (or websites) have gone very weird. I’m not sure whether their original site was .com or .com.au, but it doesn’t really matter, because both are bizarre. Summitbloodstock.com.au is owned by Jamie Durnberger-Smith, the joint managing director of the Summit Bloodstock company. As you can see from the picture at the top his […]
I guess you know now what our huge concern about Albion Park naming cocktails after roots was. The bloke who introduced them – the CEO – is on rape charges. You might as well just put a red light on the front gates. Fuck me dead. Pardon the highly improper pun. I wonder if they […]
Merlin is the best 2YO in Australia, NZ and possibly the world. True Fantasy is rooted. Sundees Sun never gallops when it’s on the gear. Craig Ferguson is making hay while sun shines, and so he should, for there are only little blue tents that some call the sky where he is going. Self-Assured is […]
NZ pacer Corravalley Star showed good form until February, then it tapered off dramatically. In the horse’s past 5 runs it had done this: 10th at Hororata on the grass 4th at Wyndham 7th at Waimate on the grass 6th at Kurow Last at Addington Then it changes stable from Bruce Negus who trained Courage […]

But how can a bookie be a trainer or driver? How can a trainer or driver be a bookie? They can’t of course, or shouldn’t anyway, for it […]
This is a letter that retiring Gawler Harness Racing Club board member Jeremy Seal has sent to all members of the club. It is a load of bollocks. I will tell you why after you read it. Click below to do so. JEREMY SEAL LETTER
So this is the version of events that Jeremy Seal would have you believe. Summit Bloodstock’s man Aaron Bain’s dad Peter, the Chairman of the Gawler Harness Racing Club, is, like Flash Gordon, the saviour of the universe. Bain’s mates and allies on the board Peter Ashby, Garry Connor and Phil Houston are too. Without them, […]
As reported on this website, the majority of the committee of the Gawler Harness Racing Club recently resigned en masse, which means all at once and together. The catalyst for the walkout was this. Gawler got money to build new stables. A tender was put out. One of the companies that tendered was the Ahrens […]
