A Kiwi pacer named Victor Bravo had raced 14 times coming in to race 4 at Addington yesterday, and the best it could manage was one second and a third, both of them more than eight months ago in 2YO races against very ordinary opposition. About 4 weeks ago the horse was sold, and about […]
Race 8 at Menangle last night was a disgrace. The favourite Yianni blew from $2.15 to $4.40. Jimmy Locke was backed from $21 into $10. Yianni went to the lead shortly after the start and looked the goods. Then at the 1200m mark Jack Callaghan on the 2nd favourite Straddie decided to crucify him, and […]
Bonno got 11.1% of the early quaddie. It paid $71.00 for a dollar, meaning that he collected $7.90. I hope he didn’t spend it all in one place. He had $10 each way on Something Bettor which ran 2nd and paid $2.10, so there is another $21.00. Running total $28.90. And he got the trifecta […]
Well we’ve clearly got Jason Bonnington rattled after we towelled him up on his home turf last week, for everyone’s favourite white sports coat and red bow tie wearers bets are all over the show, he’s claiming the win price on place bets, and there are Hail Mary exotics for Africa. You can find Bon […]
The 6th at Albion Park last night had 8 starters, but it was always going to be a 2 horse race. Cover Girl was drawn the one and driven by Luke McCarthy. It blew from $1.60 out to $2.10. Dangerzone was out in the 5, and steered by Brendan Barnes. It firmed from $2.30 into […]
Golden Sand is a pacer who until yesterday had raced on 51 occasions and won just 4 times. He is trained by the Russian, an old bloke named John Stariha who isn’t Russian – he’s Slovenian – but sounds like Putin does, hence the nickname. Stariha is is the second phase of a career he […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/vic/KIC09062211.mp4 Coming into race 4 at Kilmore last night the Chainsaw Yole trained 10-year-old pacer Southern GNP had won just 1 race from his previous 34 starts over the past year, most of the runs being down in lowly company in Tasmania. The single win was eight months ago against very poor company in 30-44 […]
A pacer named Bri Express – who we will call the cheese – made its debut for popular Manawatu (North Island) trainer Stephen Doody on the 28th of April this year. It ran a creditable 3rd in a maiden at the third tier meeting, and a fortnight later was sold. Guess who bought it? Our […]
We have been telling you for a month that Robert Dunn was going to be appointed to the board of Harness Racing New Zealand haven’t we? Well bingo is it. Yesterday Dunn’s appointment as a Director of the Kiwi control body was formally announced. In making the announcement HRNZ’s spin doctors did a lovely job […]
