Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The man in charge of Tuesday’s controversial New Zealand Cup start has been replaced. Long-time Canterbury harness racing starter Peter Lamb was informed by host club Addington he will no longer be their starter, with the role going to former assistant starter Ricky Donnelly. The start of Tuesday’s $540,000 Group 1 great race was widely […]
Last week Sundees Sun won the Group 3 Southern Lights in almost a canter. It’s a huge shame that this trotter has such a huge illegal performance enhancing drug cloud over him, for without it he is almost certainly the best trotter that the Southern Hemisphere has seen since the Freak, the world class Lyell […]
Mario Borg simply does not like Mondays. I am sure of it. What other reason could there be for his Barry Crocker of a day yesterday at Globe Derby? First he gets find for hanging his leg in the breeze because he had a cramp and it was hurting (see previous story), and then he […]
Poor young Mario copped a fine for his drive in this one yesterday. I wonder why? Keep your feet in the stirrup Mr Borg. That’s what they are made for.
For some strange reason the $1.50 favourite in the second race at Globe Derby yesterday Vapar Jack galloped when its driver Gaita Pullicino drove it’s head into the mobile barrier arm just as it was about to release. I don’t understand it. When my mum used to give me a clip around the ear as […]
Rackemup Tierpie has had a lot of bad luck in recent runs. The high class Ian Stanley free-for-aller was due some. He finally got it yesterday in the Maryborough Cup. Batman Barry, the second favourite in the race, was a certainty to lead early from the pole, but having caused a false start the first […]
Lachie Manzelmann is a talented driver, but unfortunately he is a most reckless and dangerous one too, as he proved in the first race at Redcliffe last night. The further question is whether there is something else behind his crazy drive in this race as well. There were two chances in the first last night, […]
This is the finish of race 5 at Menangle last night. The outside horse was declared the winner by a nose. Can you see a nose there? I’m buggered if I can.
Colt Thirty One is a multiple Group 1 winning pacer who’d had 97 starts for 46 wins and 31 placings coming into race 3 at Menangle last night. The Colt is a new rating (NR) 120. That’s no surprise, given Queensland’s greatest pacer of the past decade has won in excess of a million dollars. […]
Lochinvar Art was a mighty run first up for a year in the Shepparton Gold Cup. Only Jack Callaghan beat him. Jack Callaghan is not a horse, he’s a 20-year-old driver. Even at that tender age I would go so far as to say that after this superlative drive on Spirit of St Louis to […]
