Right in between The Trot and The Race tonight is another clash of the titans, this time down south at Addington in what looks to be a match race between the best 3yo in the country Jumal and one of the top two 4yo’s in New Zealand in Got The Chocolates (Marketplace, who is not […]
The top-shelf harness racing circus moves t0 Cambridge, New Zealand tonight, and what a night of racing it is. The Race (formerly by Grins, them by Betcha, and now by Sports Nation) is the headline act. And what a great race The Race is going to be. It is a three horse affair in my […]
Max Delight has been a great horse over the years. He won 3 Derbies, a Breeders Crown, a Victoria Cup and many more top races among his 37 wins for over $1.5 million dollars in prizemoney. But at the age of 10 has Max’s career come to an end? Judging by his atrocious performance when […]
Chariots of Fire winner the Dazzler, second from left in the front row wearing no 7, back in the glory days when he was slim DW Graham hadn’t trained a winner all year, and most people thought that the old bloke (I can say that because we’re the same age) with 4 Group 1’s, 2804 […]

https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/wa/GPM03042607.mp4 Take a look at Gary Hall Jr’s drive on the 7 A Little Silence in the last race at Gloucester Park last night. It blew from $1.70 out to $2.20. The winner Luvbite firmed $3.30 into $1.80. When you see Hall Jr’s drive you will immediately understand why. The highlight comes in the back […]
I had a call from our man Dirk tonight. You know him, the world’s greatest fan of The Janitor, the bloke I bagged the bejesus out of until I became a convert to cleaning, which took a while. Dirk demanded an apology for me saying he was an idiot for claiming that The Janitor was […]
