I Will Go You Halves
Race 9 at Albion Park. Inside or outside? Do you reckon it’s a dead heat? You are right. Not much doubt about this one.
Proof Positive That Bonnington is a Dill
Jason Bonnington just said on the Racing.com live coverage that the name Honolua Bay would bring back great memories for gallops fans. I doubt it. Honolua Bay the galloper had 14 starts at the provincials for 1 third in a maiden at Lismore on a heavy track. Bonno of course has got the wrong horse. […]
Dear Mr Taiba, Emma and Clay – QUEENSLANDER! QUEENSLANDER!
Anyone see Leap to Fame? Don’t say you weren’t told. What a drive it was by Moses, absolutely superb. Oh what a horse. An out and out champion. Good onya Mr and Mrs Seymour. In your ear Albion Park. Sorry Mr Taiba. I told you Queenslanders had it all over Victorians.
Leap To Fame is About To Vault to the Moon and the Stars (First Published 26 August)
Only three horses in the history of harness racing have ever won the QLD-NSW-VIC Derby treble. One was Captain Joy, a brilliant juvenile whose record will always be subject to suspicion given that it was trained by the now alleged doper Michael Doltoff. Another was the out and out champion Courage Under Fire, perhaps the […]
Fame! – Light Up the Sky Like a Flame – Fame! – Baby Remember His Name (First Published September 2021)
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/qld/APC25092108.mp4 You always hear it here first. Take that Bonno! You’re a clown. ——————————————– About five months ago I tipped you into the fact that Kevin Seymour AM’s little two-year-old colt Leap To Fame might be something well and truly out of the box. I was right. Did you see his run at the Creek […]
Like Crushing Ants – Taking Bonno to Town
Trying to out tip Jason Bonnington is a bit like taking candy from a baby, but on Victorian Derby/Oaks/Cup tonight we can’t help ourselves. Call us cruel if you like. We think it’s fun. Bonno is outlaying $200, so we will too. May the best man win. Here is looking at you kid. Race 1 […]

Um, Pins – The Race Isn’t Until Next Year Son
The thing I love about Racing Queensland is that they always have their eye on the ball and are up with the play. That’s why CEO Brendan ‘Pins’ Parnell’s outfit paid $100 000 for a slot in the 2022 Eureka trot race, even though it doesn’t kick off until 2023. The early bird catches the […]
Sorry Mr Taiba – There Ain’t No Second Prize – Silver is For Victorians
Count how many thumbs Captain Ravishing’s owner Ahmed Taiba’s brother Hass has up in the picture. Two. That’s where Captain Ravishing is going to finish in the Victoria Derby tonight. Second. It seems that despite their brave talk, even the boys realise it. Queenslanders are just better than Victorians, full stop. Who are the Melbourne […]
Sand, Surf and Three – Woodend Jones Bags a Hat Trick After a Visit to the Beach
The birds are chirping, especially the little yellow ones, even if the mail comes from a bowler name. They say that supposedly inland based trot trainer Mark Jones has inexplicably been seen out at Woodend Beach a bit lately. Funny that. Jones trained three winners at Addington last night. Two of them were at a […]
