Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The talented but highly temperamental trotter Doug was placed on another warning by the Stewards after again galloping away from the stand at Albion Park on Saturday night, but you really have to start wondering how long a piece of string is and asking the question when does enough become enough? This is the seventh […]
A couple of weeks back we published an article questioning why the errant beginning QLD trotter Doug had not been excluded from standing starts after galloping in nine of his last ten, and issued a plaintive plea that he be so, forthwith. He wasn’t, not then anyway. Doug went back to the races twice, and […]
Not only is Emma Stewart the greatest trot trainer ever to roam the earth, her partnership with formerly convicted and disqualified match cheat (overturned on appeal) sulky jockey Mark Pitt is the greatest trainer/driver combo in the long history of the harness racing sport. Together the pair have won 37 of their last 55 starts, […]
I want you to take a look at this replay of the run down the stretch in the Listed Sires Stakes at Addington last night, and pay particular attention to the breach of the whip rules by Mark Purdon on the 2nd placed horse Cyrus, the horse in the blue and white coming three-wide. Did […]
Lord Bazalup was, until 5 days ago, quite possibly Australia’s slowest pacer. In 67 starts he’d won just twice, that sterling victory coming in January last year at Devonport while trained by Ben Yole, in a race where he fell in off the pole draw to win in an incredibly ordinary time of 2.02.8. Slow […]
Following a meeting between the CEO and the kind, hard-working Mrs Clements, the issue regarding the provision of refreshments in the drivers room at the Wagga trots has been resolved. The cakes and sangers are back on, and even better, Mrs Clements will no longer have to pay for the snacks that she has been […]

(Double-barrel buckshot) Soy un perdedor I’m a loser […]
There are lines down the corner and around the street outside the food banks in Cobram this morning as well. Fave punters got slaughtered there too. Here is how it rolled. R1 – $1.65 – Lost R2 – $3.00 – Lost R3 – $2.60 – Lost R4 – $3.00 – Lost R5 – $2.10 – […]
It’s an interesting and exciting night of harness racing at Addington, albeit made stupid by the fact that there is no corresponding meeting in the north island. No matter what they might and do say, the people in charge of HRNZ dead set do not have a clue when it comes to the relationship between […]
