Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
See the horse above named Ghent? The one that has been backed from $7.00 into $3.50 without any falcons passing on a tip. It is trained by Gaita Pullicino. Gaita and/or her son have been banned from harness racing in just about every State in Australia, bar South Australia, which issued her a license to […]
Ghent is a trotter. He is usually not a very good one. That is because he is slow, and 11 years old. In 10 starts this season until yesterday, this Gaita Pullicino trained old bloke hadn’t run a single place in a race. So it was a surprise when all these folk of Maltese and […]
Gavin Fitzpatrick booted Bad to the Bone in the back leg just inside the 200 metre mark in the first race at Menangle on Saturday night, in a vain attempt to kick it on into first place, pardon the pun. He did it right in front of the crowd, and in full view of the […]

I wrote earlier this week about the tantalising future clash of the three great 5-year-old pacing titans, Ride High, Self Assured and Lochinvar Art. There was something I did’t tell you. Lochinvar Art will be racing for a new stable. His trainer/driver David Moran (pictured at top) is about to be disqualified from the sport […]

A Kiwi pacer named RECKON IM SMART made it’s Australian debut in race 1 at Bendigo on Tuesday afternoon in a very weak NR 0-51 event, which for those unfamiliar with harness racing rating systems is the equivalent of a Class 1 at the gallops or a Grade 7 at the dogs. In other words, […]
Barkaway Arnold is a cat. A nice cat, and one who tries his hardest too. But a cat nevertheless. He is 11 years old, and a pacer. Most pacers are well and truly retired at Barkaway Arnold’s age, but not him, because he is consistent. At his past ten starts Arnie has run 1.57.5, and […]
