I am not sure whether Andy McCarthy blew positive to drugs or alcohol, but it doesn’t matter, they are both substances of abuse and addiction. McCarthy is a brilliant driver, and by all reports a lovely young man. We all just hope he gets better soon. Come home son, where people love you and care. […]
Recently we told you the story of Mark Dunnett, the previously very slow pacer prepared by Courage Under Fire’s trainer Bruce Negus, who was transferred to the Sunshine Boys down at Wooden Beach and grew two legs and found an extra five seconds in speed. One of our Kiwi readers decided to take the matter […]
Some days are diamonds and some days are stones, and anyone who tells you they’ve got a certainty for you in a race is a drone. Just check out race 2 at Gloucester Park on Friday night if you need any proof. The $121 shot in betting Double Up is probably the first horse in […]
Chicago Bull didn’t win the Group 2 Pat Cranley memorial at Gloucester Park on Friday night – it was impossible to beat the Team Bond triple team drive when they sizzle home in 28.5, 28.2 and 27.4 to run a mile rate of 1.52.6 on the tight turning half mile track – but at his […]
Remember the tale we told you about how Gaita Pullicino switched her drive after the markets had been set last Tuesday at Globe Derby, and pulled off a big plunge? Well that was only part 1 of the story. The horse that she was originally set down to drive on Tuesday – the one that […]

When you see a horse owned by Aaron Bain, the Summit boys Webster and Durnberger-Smith, and Chainsaw Yole running in Queensland you always get excited, especially when Gra-Gra Dwyer is training it. Grant Dixon may well be the long-time leading trainer in the Sunshine State, but he doesn’t have what the Five on the Jive […]
Some people reckon that Anthony ‘Mr T’ Missen keeps dodgy company. It is a bit harsh I reckon. Let’s be real here, it’s not like his good Anthony Mabbott is serving life or anything is it? All he got was 9 years. And his other bestie ‘Two Bob’ Rob Clements didn’t cop all that much […]
