Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
“Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.” – Winston Churchill In a golden age of New Zealand harness racing, when a new breed of Kiwi horses are having huge success on the track, the sport should be standing […]
While the absence of the champion Keayang Zahara and the no-show of any Kiwis takes a slight gloss off this year’s ID26 series in some people’s eyes, for mine it throws the race wide open and makes it an ultra competitive series with all the rest of the top liners other than Jilliby Ballerini heading […]
Sir You’re wrong. Aldebaranstilinski has been flying for years. It’s always been a mad charger and seems to have finally learnt to become a racehorse. I took the Jason Grimson comparison to be a slur against the integrity of Mr. Dawson’s horsehusbandry practices, so to speak. I don’t agree. Lance from Louth —————————————- Editor’s Note […]
We keep telling you that Mitchell Dawson is the second greatest trainer in the world behind Jason Grimson, and last night the man they call the Quiet One proved us right. We told you all about the amazing improvement of the M. Dawson trained trotter Aldebaranstilinski a couple of weeks ago. Mitchell Dawson is the […]
Strikem is a blood sucking vampire posing as a pacer. One of those horses who just loves getting beating when its priced in the sauce. This former Kiwi cat is weak-hearted non-trier. Since coming over the ditch to QLD a year ago Strikem has been beaten at odds of $1.12, $1.10, $1.75, $1.90 and $1.15. […]
A watchful observer will have noticed that all of Tasmanian trot trainer Connor Crook’s seven runners over the weekend have been scratched, five from Launceston on Friday night and two from Hobart on Sunday. There is a reason for this. It has not been publicly announced yet, but Connor Crook has been caught by Stewards […]
Didn’t Di is a 5-year-old gelding trotter that has won just 2 races from 20 starts, although it has gone alright lately thanks to being under the supervision of a trainer (Matt Purvis) who works out of the magic waters of Woodend Beach, being well placed, and benefiting from a claim. A pair of wins […]
The poor old Weidenbach family has been in the wars lately. Olivia got tied up with the Ford’s in Tasmania, and copped a criminal conviction and an 18 month DQ. Dumb young silly kid, who like all of us in our immaturity made a bad mistake. The problem is that by doing so she drew […]
Keayang Santiago had raced 57 times for trainers Margaret Lee (of Keayang Zahara fame), S Vasiliou, Luke Tabone, Jodie Quinlan and Matt Newberry and won just 6 races before it was sent north to the Bailey McDonough barn at Menangle. Since that happened a month ago its has won 2 from 3, and probably should […]
Can anyone tell me what Matt Elkins did different in this race at Albion Park yesterday to Angus Garrard than what Garrard did to Elkins in the race that we wrote about at the same track on Saturday night? It looked exactly the same to me. The outcome was different though. No action was taken […]
