Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Emma Stewart won 3 of the 4 Breeders Crown pacing finals on Saturday night. She trained 1st, 2nd and 3rd in one of them, and 1st and 3rd in another. Had Stewart done this last year she would have collected $524 000 in stakes. This year due to prizemoney cuts she only took home $234 […]
Emma Stewart had six runners in the Breeders Crown 3YO Colts and Geldings final. Only one of them – Some American – was owned by her Dad. Some American was allowed to stroll to the front early after its stablemate the $1.70 favorite and initial leader Bay of Biscay took hold and allowed it across. […]

On the topic of Jason Grimson, a reader has corrected us about his ability to educate and train juvenile pacers to success by reminding us of the deeds of Dont Think Twice, the pacer that first put him on the map. Trained throughout its career by Grimson, Don’t Think Twice won 16 races from 34 […]
Many of his close friends and supporters are openly vaunting Jason Grimson as the greatest trot trainer of all time, but this mob need to take a chill pill with a cup of tea and have a lie down. All credit to Grimson for his great training performance in getting Swayzee to back up to […]
Fifteen days ago Tairlaw Toll failed at Albion Park when a short priced favorite, running last in a race in which it started at a quote of $2.10. When questioned about the performance by Stewards driver Peter McMullen explained that the horse raced best when it is able to race weekly, and said that the […]
