Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
A pacer named Whistle On By drawn the pole was backed from $4.40 into $2.90 in the first at Globe Derby yesterday. Given that it hadn’t won in it’s past 27 starts, and had only won 2 from 34 in its lifetime, many wondered why. They don’t anymore. Whistle on By won. His winning time […]
I do believe that we have mentioned the police officer cum trot trainer ‘Smoking’ Joe Connolly’s name on this website before, usually in relation to horses that are backed and suddenly improve their form quite rapidly to win these said races. Smoking Joe doesn’t miss much in these scenarios, so when I noticed a horse […]
Harness racing is nothing like the gallops. Group races mean something on the turf, which is why NSW and Victoria are locked into war over the Group 1 status or otherwise of the Everest. There are no such problems over her at the trots. You can just buy a Group race any day of the […]
KINGMAKER NZ– Caught racing three wide in the early stages of the event before working forward to the position outside the leader passing the 1900 metres. Post race veterinary examination failed to reveal any obvious abnormalities. Stewards questioned driver Luke McCarthy with regards to the performance of the gelding which tired over the final stages […]
Remember the story we told you on Sunday about the hottest race in the world at the Menangle trots the night before, on the opening night of ID21? The race the Stewards convened an inquiry into that we assured you would end up nowhere? This one. https://peterprofit.com/2021/11/28/the-hottest-race-in-the-whole-wide-world/ Well gee, we were right. Nothing can spoil […]
Last night in the first at Menangle a horse named Pete’s Said So was backed from $34 into $13 on TAB fixed price market, and into as short as $10 with other bookies. The horse is from the Robbie Morris camp. Robbie is well connected in NSW harness racing. It was red hot this race. […]
In a lifetime of watching the trots, and attending every Inter Dominion for near on 50 years, I have never, ever seen a horse try to bite a drivers head off in the first race on the card on the first night of the heats. Never. Until now. Jack Callaghan, stand up and take a […]
It was a funny old night at Bathurst. The fave in the 1st blew from $1.60 to $1.95, got planted in the death outside the 2nd fave and got beaten a head, in a deceptive finish in which it appeared that driver Amy Day stopped driving and took a huge grip three strides too early. […]
Colin De Felippi is one of New Zealand’s oldest and most successful trot drivers. Flip’s been around forever, and at age 69 has learnt more tricks than the average punter has had hot dinners. He’s got away with more than a few of them over the years too. Not this one. See the horse in […]
Australia’s cleanest and most honest trainer/driver pair David Kennedy and Jackson painting have uncovered the new Lombo Pocket Watch. Remember Lombo Pocket Watch? He was that champion Mick Lombardo owned colt who won 17 of his 18 starts as a 2-year-old, and became the first horse of that age to ever be named Australian Pacer […]
