Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
EVIDENCE: At the conclusion of Race 9 the Diamonds Day 30th April Mobile Pace a protest was lodged by Stipendiary Steward Mr V Munro alleging that under Rule 869(7)(b) that THE COBBLER (B Orange) went inside a pylon in the home straight therefore gaining an advantage. THE COBBLER was placed second in the race. Mr […]
I write often about harness racing drivers ‘hocking’ – kicking their horses to make them run faster – for I consider it a cruel and barbaric practice, and one that must be stamped out by stomping down hard on drivers who do it. Would you run out onto the oval and kick your kid in […]
What has happened on the turn entering the home straight in the Group 1 Australian Trotting Grand Prix is nothing short of disgraceful. Chris Angove and his family had spent more than three decades getting their trotter Sundon’s Courage to this race. They’d bred him themselves, and they had bred his mother and his grandmother […]
We wrote last week about the huge disparity in sentencing the NZ Racing Integrity Board has been displaying in regard to harness race drivers who deliberately cut the corners or go inside the pegs of the sprint lane in order to gain an unfair advantage in a race. As our example we used the case […]
In the greatest disgrace of a discretion since Club Menangle gave HRNSW CEO John Dumesny’s nephew Robbie Morris’s ordinary pacer Charlaval a start in the 2018 Miracle Mile, the club committee has this year given the under-performing ex-hero Expensive Ego a spot in the big one over 3 x Group 1 winner Stylish Memphis and […]
Kevin and Kay Seymour have been around harness racing since the year that was I born, which is the same year that the night trots at Albion Park began. In that 53 years I have given my blood, sweat and toil to the sport through the tote. Kay and Kevin have given it too, in […]
I gave Nathan Jack a huge wrap for his drive on Mach Dan, and I will give him another one for his steer on his Dad’s horse Just Hope in the NSW Oaks last night too. This bloke is a freak. He gets tipped out for years on what now appear to be bodgie charges, […]
You would go a long way to see a better example of brilliant aggressive driving than Jack Trainor’s demolition job on Stylish Memphis in the Group 1 mares race at Menangle tonight, and even then you might not find it. It was sheer genius. Guts, balls and glory. Turbo shot the gate, and then took […]
Following a tipster is all about keeping the faith. The first two races of the night aren’t the only, and there are plenty more the next day. Here is how we cost out our punting for the night. 1 unit EW the 3 tips = $6.00 1 unit box Quinella = $3.00 1 Unit box […]
It’s a huge night of racing at Menangle tonight, the second best Sydney trot meeting of the year. Let’s see if we can find you a winner. RACE 1 This looks like being a super fast run race, with the renowned speedster and 1.49 winner Cash N Flow drawn in the 2 and last week’s […]
