Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
General Stewards questioned driver Angus Garrard (Its Super Easy NZ) regarding the tactics adopted on the gelding in particular from the 800m after racing in a one out four back position the gelding then raced on the marker line leaving the 800m as a result of moving to this position the horse failed to gain […]
There is something wrong about this race. A few things actually. I don’t know what they mean. They are just odd. I will list them by number. 1. Chris Barsby’s Call Will they catch Rancho Man? Will they catch Rancho Man? Repetition is not Chris Barsby’s go. Was this code? If so, to who? 2. […]
A week ago I wrote about the moral dilemma of bagging a race cheat who is dying of cancer. I didn’t know whether it was right or wrong. Well the race cheat has answered the question. A cheat is a cheat whether they are sick or well, and a cheat who doubles down on his […]
Marten’s Pride was backed from $71 into $19 in the 2nd race at Globe Derby on Monday. Driver Dean Girardi left it very late. Caller Jim Jacques thought he’d missed. Jimmy jammed it up. He was wrong. Praise the lord say the punters.
We can be anything we want to be in this life. A clown with pinned eyes who thinks a little watched show on trotstv.com.au makes him a rock star, who most women think is a sleaze. A dud race caller with the eye of a one-eyed-man, who takes $90 grand a year from a membership […]

The greatest Australian pacer since Blacks a Fake is back. All going to plan, on Saturday night in the Cranbourne Cup the champion Lochinvar Art returns. How good is this going to be? And what a race it is, or threatens to be. Spirit of Louis is a sensation, and getting better by the day. […]
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 […]
