Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
1 – LEAP TO FAME 76: 59-12-3 13 x G1 + The Race BT 1.48.3 The Ali of the pacing world. Simply the best. There is not much more I need to say. Larry says it all for me. 2 – DON HUGO 57: 22-11-8 3 x G1 + The Eureka BT 1.48.4 Wins in […]
The breakdown of the sectional times from Saturday night’s Race of the Century in Blacks A Fake tells us a number of salutary tales. The first one is how truly brilliant Leap To Fame is. Larry was forced to cover 32m more ground than the winner Don Hugo and 15m more than the third-placed […]
News has filtered back to us that breeders of the Eureka runners are yet to be paid their breeder bonus of $10 000 each, or the breeder of the winner their bonus of $30 000. The Eureka was run almost 3 months ago to the day, and HRNSW are not short of cash to pay […]
There is outrage among NZ harness racing licensees over the treatment of junior driver Emily Johnson, who had been threatened with a dangerous driving charge by Stewards in relation to an incident that occurred during a race at Addington last Friday week. Johnson was driving the long odds-on favorite He Ain’t Fakin, the Aussie pacer […]
In Albion Park Chairman Greg Mitchell’s euphoria about the Creek being (in our view temporarily) saved, he seems to have 0verlooked a rather important thing. The racing reform plan to run thoroughbred race meeting four nights a week, every week, in direct competition with the trots. Wednesday to Saturday night is the plan. Gold Coast, […]
Shane Graham is a leopard. He never changes his spots. Rock Supreme was backed from $21 into $10 in race 1 at Albion Park. It started from the inside row in 8, with Bronski Zulu drawn in front of it in 1. Graham drove the Zulu, but he didn’t drive it to win. He drove […]
Archie Re Albion Park. Too little to late. At least the LNP are trying to fix the sport. What is being proposed is exactly what ‘sir” Kevin offered 10 years ago to the ALP, they didn’t care, no unions in sports. We don’t need it, the facilities are old, worn out and need too much […]
What a brilliant race the Blacks A Fake was last night at Albion Park. The race of the year. Hands down. It was an absolute ripper. The record books will tell future generations that Don Hugo won it. But really Luke McCarthy did. His drive was absolutely perfect, an 110 out of 10. McCarthy took […]
ALBION PARK No closure or sale of Albion Park. Harness racing will continue at Albion Park and become Queensland’s new ‘Racing HQ’. It will house RQ, QRIC and a new Racing Science Centre. Comment An eminently sensible move. I could never work out why they paid a fortune to rent offices next door to Albion […]

Stewart has only had 26 runners in the State all year. 18 of them have won. Her Tasmanian strike rate is 69%. Emma Stewart is also sitting […]
