Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Young Jack Brown didn’t drive at the Young trot meeting on Thursday night. Nathan Turnbull did. He breached the whip rule too. Turnbull was sentenced on the basis of Brown’s previous record. Me thinks he might have grounds for appeal.
Aminorex (Menocil, Apiquel, aminoxaphen, aminoxafen, McN-742) is a weight loss (anorectic) stimulant drug. It was withdrawn from the market after it was found to cause pulmonary hypertension. In the U.S., it is an illegal Schedule I drug, meaning it has high abuse potential, no accepted medical use, and a poor safety profile. Aminorex, in the 2-amino-5-aryl oxazoline class, was developed by McNeil Laboratories in 1962. It is closely related […]
Harness Racing NSW spent $15 million building a new trot track at Wagga, or at least that’s what we are told. The rumours are that not all of the fifteen million found it’s way to the track in Daryl Maguire’s old electorate, if you know what I mean. Either way, the purpose of the expensive […]
The average race starts per Standardbred per season increasing from 10.7 in 2000/01 to 12.9 in 2018/19 – Andrew Kelly, CEO Harness Racing Australia, 31 March 2021 The average pacer races 12.9 times a year. Harness Racing Australia say so, therefore it must be true. Here are some of Tasmanian trainer Ben Yole’s numbers*. They […]
Ben ‘Chainsaw’ Yole winning the Australian Trainer’s Premiership tell us all we need to know about the current state of harness racing outside of Victoria, and to a degree (a small degree) Western Australia. That a bozo from Tasmania who couldn’t train a rat to run up a drain pipe can be crowned the King […]
The only thing we can say is that as long as the horse is nowhere near Chainsaw or his greyhound trainer mate Anthony ‘B&S (Boner and Slicer) Bullock, at least Longfellow might have some future. Then again, Emma Stewarts runners have a nasty habit of breaking down in work, so maybe it’s not so certain […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/nsw/PCC15022201.mp4 I did my best to tip you into the winner of race 6 at Menangle yesterday, and I hope you listened, for if you did you will be three times richer right now than you were 24 hours ago. The smart readers like Putt Mad Peter are, that’s for sure. They’ve showed me the […]
A little while ago we wrote a story questioning why the ID21 prizemoney hadn’t been paid. Less than a week later Harness Racing NSW paid it. No-one reads Peter Profit. No-one who doesn’t matter anyway. You owe me a drink owners. I will have a Johnnie Walker blue thanks.
There were 6 starters in the fifth race at Canberra last night. Trainer Michael Hawke had four of them, and took full advantage of it. Major Huss was the plunge horse of Hawke’s four. It was backed from $3.40 into $2.50. Crime Don’t Pay and The Talk stayed at about their same price in the […]
This race was so good that it sent shivers down my spine. Call me weird, but I get excited by head to head sporting contests like this. Boxing matches, tennis finals, rugby tests, footy finals, horse races, sex with Maggie, it doesn’t matter. Watching the best of the best go at each other one on […]
