Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The company sponsoring the Wagga Cup is called CLEANAWAY, not CLEANWAY. I guess the new Canadian CEO is confused. It’s probably got something to with being an anti-vaxxer. That or the club’s withdrawal of refreshments for trainers and drivers on race days. Oh well, at least their won’t be much rubbish for the sponsors to […]
These are the owners of pacers trained by animal abuser Ben ‘Chainsaw’ Yole that raced at Launceston on Sunday the 27th of March 2022. They should all be ashamed of themselves. Aaron Bain South Australian horse trainer, businessman and harness racing media personality. In partnership with Summit Bloodstock as Australia’s leading owner. Andrew Stuart Rangiora […]
Question: What the hell is going on in South Australian harness racing? Answer: Everything. It’s a free for all, and I don’t mean the class of the race. Now they are even allowing drivers to turn around and punch rival runners in the head. The reinsman you see in the picture with his fist cocked […]
Not a day goes by when there isn’t a hot race at Globe Derby, so the only surprise about there being another one on Monday would have been if there wasn’t. That’s what terribly low prize money and the need for cash to feed your horses does to a sport. Monday’s red hot one was […]
Heez Our Perseus started at the prohibitive odds of $1.05 in the 2nd race at Gloucester Park on Friday night. Gary Hall Jr slaughtered it. It was a master class in how to get a long odds on favourite beaten, sheer genius in fact. The WA Stewards deemed that he was just unlucky, and blamed […]
Ben Yole had 34 of the 70 runners in the seven races his stable horses contested at Launceston last night. Chainsaw returned the grand total of 1 winner. The good news is that he owned the winner himself. Australia’s greatest trainer is on fire. He is so hot he burns. In many more ways than […]
There may be some doubt about whether Mark Purdon hocked True Fantasy in the Great Northern Oaks in New Zealand on Friday night (see story below), but there is no doubt at all that leading NSW driver Cameron Hart booted I Cast No Shadow in the back leg at Menangle on Saturday. It is blindingly […]
About a month ago we told you the story of an 11-year-old veteran SA pacer named Ghent, and how he had miraculously improved his recent standing starts times by two seconds to win a race at Globe Derby and land quite a decent plunge for his trainer Frank or Gaita Pullicino (choose one). The picture […]
What you see in the picture at the top of this story is Mark Purdon on Friday night’s Great Northern Oaks winner True Fantasy, at about the 50m mark from home. Is Purdon hocking the filly to boot it home, or is he simply trying to kick out the plugs (deafeners)? It’s hard to tell. […]
You don’t like to gloat, but we’ve been telling you that Merlin was the best 2-year-old in New Zealand since the time he could walk. We were right too. Last night in the Young Guns classic at Alexandra Park he took them to town. You got better than evens too, which was like Santa coming […]
