Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Well our mail that Greg Gangle is leaving the CEO’s role at Wagga is rock solid. It’s not a matter of if we are told, but when. The only question left is where is he going. We said Albion Park, but now with the departure of Nick Redin from the top job at Racing SA […]
Harness Racing New Zealand (HRNZ) has backed down on it’s plan to make this year’s NZ Cup and Dominion Handicap handicap stand starts this year. So they should too. But just to illustrate the problems with conflict of interest on the board, I wonder how HRNZ Directors Colin Hair and Robert Dunn – the owner […]
Alan Parker in WA is one of Australia’s greatest harness racing historians. The man is a genius. He says that Chris Lewis has driven almost 5900 winners. Only a fool would disbelieve him. Adam Hamilton is no fool, he just got it wrong. It happens to the best of us. We expect to see the […]
The word is that Mark Purdon had to go home early from his usual winter sojourn in Queensland, and that Natalie Rasmussen’s friend Olivia Thornley came over to replace him. We hope that Livvie didn’t hang around too much with Nat’s great mate Scott Steele. The word is that you would never want to accept […]
This is the public stand at Alexandra Park, photo taken today. It’s about to be knocked down and turned into apartments, developed by an Aussie mob. The money received by the Auckland Trotting Club will hardly be enough to put a dent in the $200 million debt it owes to the banks. I sat it […]
Darren Binskin drove a very weird drive on the odds on fave Wolf Stride in race 5 at Menangle last night. I didn’t like it one little bit. Binskin is in the yellow colours, going back off the gate at the start when he should have gone forward. Watch what happens next, and look at […]
It is a great mate of mine’s birthday today. His ever loving wife has taken him to Uluru for the weekend. He will love it. Britt and Daz gave him an early birthday gift. He will love that too. Tis a Sizzler is a real good horse. My friend is a real great bloke too. […]
We are looking at race 5 at Albion Park last night. Pete ‘Noddy’ McMullen is on the fave Dance In The Sun, in the light blue, white with little red stars colours out the back. It blows from evens ($2.00) out to the $3.50. There is a very good reason for that. Noddy’s not trying. […]
Multiple Inter Dominion winner Natalie Rasmussen is a volunteer at All Stars Stables now is she? Really? I find that very hard to believe. Just as I find her close friendship with the alleged rapist and stood down Albion Park CEO Scott Steele repulsive. Perhaps she would like to explain that one too.
