Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
You rarely see horsed die on trot tracks. Tragically this week has been different. We wrote about Jungle Baby and Zeron, the 6yo mare and the 3yo gelding that both dropped dead during their race, and on Tuesday at Albion Park we had the misfortune to see yet another pacer pass away on the track.

Fugly is not so ugly. His mother loved him, and he was born into this world through no fault of his own. So now he is owned by someone who sees something in him. It’s called opportunity. Wishing the partnership every success, may they be blessed with all the wins that come their way. Fugly […]

What a bizarre Stewards report. Albion Park, Saturday night. A 6-year-old mare named Jungle Baby collapses mid-race and falls to the track. She can’t be moved, and the race is called off. The mare is obviously dead, but there is no mention of that in the Stewards report. There is not a word said about […]
There is a strong rumor floating around that this year may be the last for HRNSW’s flagship slot race The Eureka. It may well be true. The three year leases on the slots expire after Eureka 25, and to date there has been no move by HRNSW to renew or release them. Breeders hate the […]
Two days before the Darren Ebert run Redcliffe Standardbred Yearling Sale earlier this month, Racing Queensland pulled its funding for the $104 000 sales race series final and associated auction linked races. No reason was given by RQ for its last minute jump from the ship, but it only took 48 hours for it to […]
They say that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, but we say equally that hell doesn’t have any fury like the woman that the woman was scorned for either, at least not if what went on in race 5 at Marburg is any indicator anyway. The two women involved were drivers Danielle McMullen, […]
Yesterday’s Nutrien yearling sale in Melbourne will no doubt be trumpeted as a success, with three lots topping the $200 000 mark, a further three bringing over $100 000, a gross sale volume of $3.3 million, and an average of $33 040. That’s the good news. Now for the bad. The lots that attracted a […]
Ben Hope had the eye of the tiger in the score up It was a case of old v new in the Group 2 Lyell Creek Stakes at Alexandra Park on Friday night when rising star NZ reinsman and rookie trainer Ben Hope with Muscle Mountain took on the multiple premiership winning Aussie driver Chris […]
Hi Archie, Glad you have exposed the Baring Syndication Fiasco. Not content with “bombing” the In Boxes of past APG clients and vendors when he was doing his twisted version of running the show….remember the “National” APG Sales which excluded Melbourne and Sydney opening the door for Nutrien to bolt through, his identity theft goes […]
