Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
This was race three at Albion Park on Tuesday. Look at the 4 horse Natty Pager, in the blue saddlecloth. The one on the inside that goes up in the air. How much of a free start did it get? The Starter didn’t see it. None of the Stewards did either. They all must be […]
Racing QLD yesterday published a story extolling ‘Jimmy’, the seemingly somewhat eccentric harness racing supporter who bowls up to tracks dressed like a loon and carrying signs supporting certain trainers and drivers. Good on Jimmy if that is how he gets his kicks. We are just wondering if RQ did any background checks on Jimmy […]
By Jordan Gerrans A loud and proud harness racing fan with a painted face and personalised signs is fast becoming a favourite within the driving ranks in the Sunshine State. The man known as Jimmy has become a regular at Albion Park and Redcliffe over the last year or so. He is often seen cheering […]
The betting has opened on the Geelong Cup and Minos is the early $1.85 favorite on the TAB, probably because gun reinsman James Herberton has been declared its driver. But Houston, we have a problem. Herbie is not driving at Geelong on Saturday night, he is driving at Globe Derby in the Australian Drivers Championship. […]
Just take a look at these ‘starts’ at Gloucester Park last night. They aren’t starts. They’re a joke. The horses on the front line haven’t scored up properly. Those drawn the inside are up on the gate, the ones drawn to their outer aren’t. They are supposed to be. None of these races were started […]
Gary Hall Jr is not just the best trot driver in Western Australia. He is the fastest reinsman on two wheels as well. Never go before the clock tower kids. Junior just showed you all why.
How does an 8-year-old mare rated NR40 that has had 121 starts and never won a race in faster than 2.01.04 suddenly come out in a weak race at Globe Derby on a Monday afternoon and equal the track record set two tears ago by a topline NR120 rated trotter? You tell me. But yesterday […]
Long simmering tensions overflowed yesterday at Globe Derby yesterday, culminating in a major dust up between drivers Corey Johnson and Wayne Hill that ended up in the wild scenes depicted in the video above. We don’t the know what sparked the melee, or who was responsible for the violence that ensued, but we are told […]
Watch the picture in the bottom left corner and zero in on the horse in the red and yellow. Call It Bling is the horse’s name. Greg Bennett is the driver. Bennett pleaded guilty to a charge of taking an unfair advantage by progressing forward whilst racing inside markers. What choice did he have? He […]
We have written many times about the now 4yo Kiwi pacer Marketplace, and on every occasion have told you how damn good this bloke is. Australian fans didn’t quite see it when he came over in the winter, mainly because their parochialism blinds them. Marketplace won 2 from 4 over here, and ran 2nd to […]
