Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Jason Bonnington claims that Captain Ravishing would have won his heat of the Victoria Derby by 15-20 metres if it hadn’t hung in down the straight. Fifteen to twenty metres? This bloke is off his head. https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fields/race-fields/?mc=MX011022
HEAT ONE Wasn’t this a ripper of a race, if you pardon the pun, made even better for this writer by the fact he slipped out of his daughters wedding for a minute during the tail end speeches to back both the winner @ $14, and the runner-up each way at $51 and $6 (whatever […]
HEAT ONE What a joke this race was, a typical big race heat. Cracker Jack was allowed to stroll out to the lead from gate 1 on Just Hope in a lead time of 88.2 seconds, which was the slowest of the 3 heats by far, and once there no-one challenged him or her or […]
Torrid Saint’s improvement over the past 18 months has really been quite incredible. Two years ago the Douglas trained pacer was starting at 50-1 when drawn gate two in weak rating 70-79 affairs.

Summitbloodstock.com.au is owned by Jamie Durnberger-Smith, the joint managing director of the Summit Bloodstock company. As you can see from the picture at the top his […]
I guess you know now what our huge concern about Albion Park naming cocktails after roots was. The bloke who introduced them – the CEO – is on rape charges. You might as well just put a red light on the front gates. Fuck me dead. Pardon the highly improper pun. I wonder if they […]
Merlin is the best 2YO in Australia, NZ and possibly the world. True Fantasy is rooted. Sundees Sun never gallops when it’s on the gear. Craig Ferguson is making hay while sun shines, and so he should, for there are only little blue tents that some call the sky where he is going. Self-Assured is […]
