Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Champion driver James Herbertson is not too well right now. On behalf of myself and all the readers of peterprofit.com I wish him good health, and a speedy recovery. He is a good young bloke from a good family. Let’s hope his bad luck turns good quick.
It was Boort Cup day on Sunday, and a great day of harness racing it was in the main indeed. But there were two major blights on an otherwise fantastic card. Races 6 and 8. Each was run for prizemoney of a miserable $4000, with just $2000 to the winner. The worst races at Burnie […]
Kevin and Kay Seymour or their grandson and their trainer Grant Dixon won almost everything there was to win at the QLD Harness Racing Awards on Sunday night. The Seymour’s won Owner of the Year and Breeder of the Year. Dixon won Trainer of the Year. Leap To Fame of course won Horse of the […]
Catch A Wave was once a great horse, one of the best in the nation. When he was four he won the Group 1 Chariots Of Fire and the Miracle Mile, and at five he won the Group 1 Nullarbor and the Len Smith Mile. But time waits for no man. Catch a Wave is […]
Coming into the first race at Albion Park last night the 9y0 gelding Tinder Surprise has raced 67 time and won 9 races. The fastest of all those wins was in at Melton in 1.55.4. Tinder Surprise entered last night’s race with form of 9646. Based on that form and the horse’s relatively slow fastest […]
This time a year ago the Kiwi trotter Bet N Win was the next big thing. He was eating Group 1’s up like they were candy, a looked for a moment like he’d be the next Lyell Creek. Then he bumped into Arcee Phoenix in the Inter Dominion final got a touch up. And after […]
Jason Grimson had two in the Newcastle Mile. Rakero Rocket, the stable pick driven by Cam Hart, which was the one they wanted to qualify for the Miracle Mile. And Still Rollin’ driven by Jye Coney, who couldn’t. Coney did his best to set it up for the stablemate. When he saw it was pocketed […]
4 312 days is fair gap between drinks isn’t it? Anthony Butt managed it. Last night the great man drove his first winner in Alexandra Park in all that time. It was a great drive too, an absolute cracker. There will be many, many more too. Ants might be my age, but he b ounces […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/nsw/NRC27022608.mp4 It’s an amazing sport harness racing. In what other discipline except for perhaps lawn bowls does an athlete hit their peak when they are in their mid-40’s? Most in all codes are well and truly retired by then. Not at the trots. Bulletproof Boy is somewhere around 45 years of age in human terms. […]
Take a look at number 10 that begins from the unruly position (outside of the back line) from this supposed standing start. No horse begins that fast from a stand. If it didn’t get an unfair flyer then my arse doesn’t point to the ground. The starter said it was okay, and the Stewards didn’t […]
