Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Hi Team Your Article on me was a good laugh completely untrue but a good laugh I actually take it as a huge compliment because it must mean she’s going great so really your saying I’m doing a great job because I’m a completely clean trainer and can sleep well at night because I’m a honest […]
Iden Forest is a slow horse, a proverbial toad. Or at least he was until Super Mario kissed him and turned him into a prince. Now he’s like Robin Hood. The Prince of Thieves. In all of his nearly eight years on this earth, Iden Forest had never run three sub-30 second quarters in a […]
Crossing the reins (also known as bridging the reins) – This means putting one rein over the top of the other, to form a small hoop about 10cms (4in) long, which you hold between your hands and which fits over the horse’s neck. It is often used by harness drivers to drive their horse with […]
Jack Laugher is on Ozzie Playboy,. the horse in the white and blue in the middle in the one-one. What the hell is he doing with that leg? If he is trying to kick out the plugs, then he’s a real bad shot. You wouldn’t want your team playing him at full forward. Nah, I […]
If the Stewards don’t raise questions about the running of race 7 last night at Menangle, then we might as well lock up the integrity office, turn off the lights, and throw the keys in the Nepean River. This race was off like prawns left six days in the sun. Luke – sorry, Belinda – […]
Trot trainer Ben Hope hasn’t been to Sydney lately to borrow one of Turbo’s shampoo bottles, so he couldn’t improve his horse Refine by a dozen lengths at Addington last night like Carter Dalgely did.

It’s best winning time was 2.00.0. It is strongly rumoured that prior to the running of Trixton Time’s race, the […]
I would have given you 100-1 on Monday about the Miracle Mile being able to be run at Menangle tomorrow night. Nathan Jack told me it was a certainty, but after seeing vision of the flooding in the region I didn’t believe him. More fool me. But I am glad to be wrong. Huge ups […]
This Peg, Northview Peg. She is a superstar in a sold out syndicate promoted by Andrew ‘the Canary; Fitzgerald of Off N Racing Syndications fame too. He syndicated the mare to himself, if at all, as you can see. Peg has got a brilliant record on the track. She’s won 2 from 42. No wonder […]
Even time for 400 metres – or a quarter-mile (known as a quarter) – in harness racing is 30 seconds. 30 seconds is to 400m splits at the trots as 12 second furlongs are to gallops racing. The standard average time. A pacer who runs that time for four splits to record a mile rate […]
