Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Nathan Jack called me a bloody idiot last night on Trots TV. He didn’t name me, and he didn’t use those words, but I had three people ring me in five minutes to tell me about it. The Jack boy’s sledge was in relation to me writing stories saying Lochinvar Art was rooted, and the […]
I have just read Adam Hamilton’s no questions asked update on Lochinvar Art on the HRA site. https://www.thetrots.com.au/news/the-forum/hamilton/hamilton-lochinvar-art-setback-but-inter-dom-remains-in-the-frame/ Sometimes wish I knew absolutely nothing about horses because my bullshit meter blew into a million pieces. Rodney Lakey – who is obviously David Moran’s bowler – could only be spinning Hamilton a yard with the “cut […]
Damn, I forgot to put the trot tips up earlier. Here they are. ALBION PARK Race 2 no 2 Jenden Strike One of the best bets of the night. Drawn barrier 2 and has 30-40 ratings points on its rivals. Wins. Race 6 no 7 Future Assured Crap draw but there are only six across […]
Archie, For a moment I thought I was reading a Dr Barry Lichter penned Copy That media tyre-pumping piece. If you are going to compare Copy That with Self Assured it’s best to get the facts right. Self-Assured’s best mile rate to date is 1:50.3 set winning the Hondo Grant and at Menangle. (Editor’s note […]
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. I knew how good she was, but I was sworn to secrecy and couldn’t tell you until now. Prior to last night the 2YO fillies track record at Alexandra Park over 1700m was […]
Chris Barsby is the best race caller in Australia. Not trot caller. Race caller. His style can seem formulaic and contrived at times during the low season, but when the big ones come around and it’s on, there is no more exciting caller in the world, or any more accurate either. Barsby is a genius. […]
If I am the devil’s butler Sir, Then how would you like your tea?
