Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
There were four $52 000 Group 2 APG finals run at Albion Park on Saturday night. The QRIC Stewards only took pre-race swabs – blood samples – in two of them, and from only one horse in each. One of them was the $1.40 favourite in the 2YO Colts and Geldings classic, but the other […]
Zach Butcher has copped a lash here. Fair enough too. But what about the Stewards and the starter? Isn’t it their job to make sure that horses are in their right place? Mr Butcher admitted a charge in that he permitted his mare to start from the incorrect barrier position in Race 8. Mr Mulcay […]
Harness racing is a world unto it’s own. Tubby Peace was one of the greatest drug cheats in the history of equine sport. He robbed everyone – fellow trainers, racing authorities, punters, owners, the public, the lot. So what does industry do? Puts him in the Hall of Fame. It says more about harness racing […]
We here at peterprofit.com write predominantly about the dark side of harness racing, but only because someone has to, and it earns us a quid. It doesn’t mean that there isn’t a whole lot good about the game; it just means that we leave it to the industry paid writers to write about it. Some […]
Adam Hamilton wrote a lovely spruik job yesterday about the genius of Jason ‘Jill’ Grimson. He’s the next Stanley Dancer if you believe Adam’s hype, or probably more correctly the next Vin Knight or Tubby Peace. Is there anyone old enough to remember them who doesn’t look back to that decade in the 1980’s and […]
Pembrook’s Princess Has run a few placing without having any luck during the running would suit racing out of Canterbury selling as owner only wants Canterbury based horses. https://standardbred.gavelhouse.com/lot/1204/pembrook-s-princess This ad is a load of absolute bollocks, which is I guess what you’d expect from the syndicator Andrew ‘the Canary’ Fitzgerald of Off N Racing […]
Majestic Cruiser ran 4th of 5 in a claimer at Ballarat on Boxing Day 2020. He had 22 starts after that, and won just one of them, in an NR80-94 at Melton After he ran a poor seventh in another NR80-94 race at Melton on the 26th of June last year against weak opposition, Majestic […]
The Julie Douglas camp is as dodgy as a trot camp comes. She’s the trainer on paper, but her husband Glenn is really in charge of the reins. Glenn relinquished his ticket because he and stable employee Ellen Tormey were fighting a DQ for drenching in the courts, so as is the time honoured custom […]
Sundees Sun has just won the Group 1 NZ National Trot. That’s no shock. The time is. This superstar square gaiter has just trotted 2700m in 3.16.3. That is exactly 4 seconds faster than he ran to win this race last year. He’s smashed the national record into tiny little pieces, broken it by an […]
Rickie Alchin – Sydney’s number 5 trainer – took four horses to Tamworth on Thursday night. All of them had metropolitan or provincial grade 1 race or trial form. They each started fave or near the top of the betting market. Every single one of the four went like busted arses, so bad that it […]
