Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Trot trainer Tony Peacock used to be in the top ten in the world back in his fighting days. Most of us weren’t born then. Lester Ellis was five times the world champion. Ellis never got the kudos he deserved, because he fought in the golden Fenech era, and the Marrickville Mauler got all the […]
Kevin Seymour AM is a man loved and loathed in equal parts, for reasons known mainly to those who have an opinion. I do, but it is somewhere to the right of the medal. I like Mr Seymour, I like him a lot. We are diametrical opposites, and met as foes not friends, but it […]
MENANGLE Race 2 Alta Orlando resumes in this from a short a break after running third in ID21. He is a high class pacer who begins quickly and should find the lead despite the wide draw. If he does he will be incredibly hard to beat here. We all expected Krug to be in the […]
Last year Ryan Duffy copped a 12 month DQ from the Victoria Racing Tribunal helping his mate milkshake a horse, taking the bolt when the Stewards turned up and caught them in the act, and lying through his teeth about the whole thing. He deserved the DQ too. The RV Stewards thought Duffy deserved more, […]
About a month back we told you that the Queensland owned pacer Merlin was New Zealand’s best two-year-old. It seemed that up until about 6 o’clock last night a lot of Kiwis disagreed, for they backed his rival Seve from $2.60 into $1.50 in the heat of the Group 2 Young Guns pace at Alexandra […]
Self Assured is a sensational pacer. He has won 22 races, including 4 Group 1’s, and has only been out of a place once in his 37 lifetime starts, that being when he went into a wild break from the stand in the 2020 New Brighton Cup and lost all chance before the race had […]
The state government was unable to confirm or deny that Tasmania’s chief harness racing steward Steve Shinn had been stood down and was under investigation when questioned in Parliament on Thursday. Labor’s racing spokesman Dean Winter asked newly-appointed Racing Minister Madeleine Ogilvie: “What is the investigation in relation to and what do you think this […]
This protest ruling by the HRV Stewards is the greatest load of Edgar Britt you have ever seen. It is so ridiculous that I am even going to waste my time explaining it to you, unless you are legally blind. If that is the case get in touch and let me know, and I will […]
On the topic of not needing to explain the obvious, take a look at this. It’s the 6th race at Kilmore on the same night that My Golden Eagle cut the corner and won. You are looking at the horse in the white with flashes of red and blue, driven by Joe Pace. The one […]
Where I grew up the starters at the trots were always neutral. The blokes on the track working with the horses were all there to get them faced up straight to the tapes, and to get them away fair and clean. They weren’t there to get one going faster than the other. That is the […]
