Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
We know that Harness Racing SA can’t get their constituent principal club Globe Derby to effect standing starts correctly in a 21st century manner. Just as we know their Stewards are spineless jellyfish who can’t or won’t crack down hard to stop drivers from playing a dangerous game of rollerball on the track. Or stop […]
The standing start in the picture at the top is race 1 at Port Pirie on Wednesday. Port Pirie is a country track. Note that the starter is standing high on the top of the rostrum where he has a clear view of all the horses at the start. And that there is no human […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/sa/GDC04052604.mp4 This is race 7 at Globe Derby on Monday afternoon.

Hi mate, Hope you are well. Sunday at Forbes, Race 7, Nathan Turnbull stablemates try to team drive to the point of desperation. Seven Tee Two comes to the death to pressure the leader, Always Adorned who had upset the plan of Sunset Jay Jay of leading. Turning for home, leader still going well, Seven […]

Watch the horse drawn 2 on the front in the pink and blue with the white cap. See it gallop like a mad thing? It keeps galloping and finished tailed out 263m last. The horse is Our Spitfire. The same horse that Ted wrote about last week. That one who galloped wildly for a lap […]
Aldebaranstilinski is full of trot, and he jogs in – Albion Park race caller Chris Barsby Chris Barsby had it spot on. Aldebaranstilinski was full of trot, and he did jog in when winning race 7 at the Creek last night. In doing so the Mitchell Dawson trained/Nathan Dawson driven trotter ran 1.54.8, improving its […]
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 […]
