Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
It seems incredible how much the Chantal Turpin/Pete McMullen (pictured above) stable can improve hitherto slow horses that come over from New Zealand, and the 2-year-old gelding Aardie’s A Star which made its Australian debut at Albion Park today is yet another example. Aardie was anything but a star back at home, where he had […]
Hi Archie On the recent stories of ABR/Summit & TSR’s “break up”, i think one thing really needs to come into perspective. The absolute debacle that is Victorian Harness Racing. You highlighted it the other day when you mentioned the Ouyen Cup being worth $10k, much less than standard races in Tasmania. I have seen […]
Aaron Bain and Summit Bloodstock own quite a few horses trained by Emma Stewart and Clayton Tonkin, all of whom we are told will be leaving the stables and going elsewhere. There are a few good ones amongst them, but one is an absolute standout. Loucasso, the winner of 7 from 9 in his first […]
Aaron Bain, principal of Aaron Bain Ta It seems that the rumors of the rift between long time premier Victorian trot trainers Emma Stewart and Clayton Tonkin (TSR) and their Johnny come lately leading owners Aaron Bain Racing (ABR) and their partners Summit Bloodstock (Summit) are true. Reports are that 15-2o Summit/Bain owned horses are […]
Archie Talk from at Globe Derby today. They have said that they are going back to proper standing starts in a few weeks, not the walk ups for everyone to cheat… They are also lining it up with the return of the auto release standing start system lol. Turns out they read Archie’s stories after […]
You’d say it was great winning the Ouyen Cup wouldn’t you, because it used to be a really good country cup race that attracted good class country pacers who were top of their league in regional trot racing. The race was always the best on the card, and befitting of the highest prizemoney. That was […]
Angus Garrard is driving the horse 3-back the outside in the red white and blue. Matt Elkins is on the horse coming around Garrard three-wide. Garrard comes out under Elkins illegally and cannons into him, sending him sliding sideways from the impact and causing his horse to break into a wild gallop and lose all […]
Archie I was having a night at Melton last night with friends. Sitting here with our 9 or so kids between us, and at the next table over out the front, there was junior driver with a dozen empty cans in front of him, talking to another participant, not sure who but had a B […]
This is bullshit. For the second time in three starts the Cran Dalgety trained All Of Me went like a broken down bus at Alexandra Park last night, finishing tailed out over 100m in last place. A vet exam replete with an endoscopy revealed no obvious issues. They may not be obvious to the vet, […]
Got The Chocolates and Marketplace are the two best Kiwi horses in the same generation that we have seen since the days of the gallopers Our Waverley Star and Bonecrusher going head to head in the Cox Plate. This pair are two absolutely horses, as they proved tonight by their effortless wins on two different […]
