Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Coming into the first race at Albion Park last night the 9y0 gelding Tinder Surprise has raced 67 time and won 9 races. The fastest of all those wins was in at Melton in 1.55.4. Tinder Surprise entered last night’s race with form of 9646. Based on that form and the horse’s relatively slow fastest […]
This time a year ago the Kiwi trotter Bet N Win was the next big thing. He was eating Group 1’s up like they were candy, a looked for a moment like he’d be the next Lyell Creek. Then he bumped into Arcee Phoenix in the Inter Dominion final got a touch up. And after […]
Jason Grimson had two in the Newcastle Mile. Rakero Rocket, the stable pick driven by Cam Hart, which was the one they wanted to qualify for the Miracle Mile. And Still Rollin’ driven by Jye Coney, who couldn’t. Coney did his best to set it up for the stablemate. When he saw it was pocketed […]
4 312 days is fair gap between drinks isn’t it? Anthony Butt managed it. Last night the great man drove his first winner in Alexandra Park in all that time. It was a great drive too, an absolute cracker. There will be many, many more too. Ants might be my age, but he b ounces […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/nsw/NRC27022608.mp4 It’s an amazing sport harness racing. In what other discipline except for perhaps lawn bowls does an athlete hit their peak when they are in their mid-40’s? Most in all codes are well and truly retired by then. Not at the trots. Bulletproof Boy is somewhere around 45 years of age in human terms. […]
Take a look at number 10 that begins from the unruly position (outside of the back line) from this supposed standing start. No horse begins that fast from a stand. If it didn’t get an unfair flyer then my arse doesn’t point to the ground. The starter said it was okay, and the Stewards didn’t […]
Look who is back in the cart after 15 years in the wilderness. For multiple NSW premiership winning driver Greg Bennett. As you will recall, the dream team of HNT lawyers and Jim Murdoch KC won Bennett the right to QLD license last month after demonstrating before the QLD Civil and Administrative Tribunal that he […]
Trot Adam Ruggari has been outed for 3 years and 3 months after committing his 4th substance rule breach for one of his horses throwing a positive TCO2 swab. The bloke is clearly a slow learner isn’t he? What smart man milkshakes a horse with absolute confidence unless they are paying the Steward in charge […]
I think trot trainer Jarred Hetherington’s appeal hearing comes up next week in the NSW Racing Appeals Tribunal. Well not his appeal, theirs. Harness Racing NSW’s. Why on God’s earth, at a time that prizemoney is being slashed all over the place, would HRNSW spend large amounts of good industry people’s money paying its lawyers […]
Have a bloody look at this drive by young Cooper Griffiths on Three Rivers in the last at Tamworh will you. What an absolute disgrace. Three Rivers and the winner of the race Arnie’s Army are stablemates, both trained by Tom Ison. Ison elected to drive Arnie, and put the kid on Rivers. Rivers blew […]
