Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
There are two contenders for the pacing Heavyweight Championship of the world. One of them is Copy That. The great champion touched down at Tullamarine on Wednesday night. When he got off the plane a very experienced horseman who was waiting on his asked Copy That’s handler who this magnificent thoroughbred was. He could scarcely […]
I was critical of Zac Butcher’s drive on the superstar Merlin at Alexandra Park last night, and told a couple of people so. To the three of them I say I was wrong, and to Zac I say that I am sorry. After watching it again (and again, and again, and ….) I can now […]
Natalie Rasmussen was the daughter of Vic, and grew up driving trotters from before she could walk. The boys used to win everything at the mini-trots until she came along. It wasn’t easy being a girl driver in QLD back then, you were just out there to win ribbons for making your horse look pretty. […]
Advance Party is a two-year-old filly that made her debut at Alexandra Park last night. This little girl is an absolute sensation.

The vendors still haven’t been paid. Many vendors have contacted the APG chasing their money. They shouldn’t have to, but when you have bills […]
The hot word around Breakfast Creek is that harness racing is about to enjoy the services of two new Stewards who are joining the QRIC ranks. Both are honest and highly respected industry participants who have hung up the reins to take up a new career, and in my view we are blessed to have […]
The carrier pigeons from Adelaide got caught in the chill wind that blew up the east coast of Australia and garbled their brains. Brad Elder went down to Adelaide for Aaron Bain Racing’s big shindig. The whole world was there it seems, or at least a bunch of South Australians, including the Public Trustee, a […]
Well we are about 13 weeks out from the 2022 Inter Dominion final, and the pictures about as clear as mud. The bookies have Spirit of St Louis as the pre-post fave. No-one else does. Louis couldn’t blow smoke up Self Assured or Copy That’s arse. The only question is whether or not they are […]
