Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
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 […]
The tote staff were busy at Dubbo last night they say https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/nsw/DUC14012208.mp4 Garry Edwards is a sprightly young chap of age 74 who is just starting to hit his straps as a harness racing trainer/driver. Up until last night at Dubbo young Gaz had driven 20 winners in the 21st century, none on the same […]
Im Loki is the archetypal Aaron Bain and Summit Bloodstock pacer. When they picked this hitherto slow WA pacer up it had just 6 races from its 110 career starts overn four years. It had been winless at it’s past 39 starts. The fastest winning time it had ever run was 1.59.2. These bovver boys […]
I told you that the Bull was back didn’t I? Last night he sat in the death over 2536m, ran through his last three splits in 28.9. 28 and 28.3, and kicked their heads in. The crazy bit was that they bet $2.50. That makes it a winning weekend for the Port Douglas punt pack […]
Have a look at this race. It’s the prelude to the Marlborough Cup run on Sunday as the second card of the two day feature meeting. The horse we are looking at is Homebush Lad, the equal 2nd favourite. It’s driven by Ben Hope, if driven is actually the right word. Driven deader than Elvis […]
