Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Hey Archie Any chance the Canary’d latest syndicate horse Smackdown has a wind problem? One that requires a throat operation? They’re betting $1.10 about it out where I come from. https://peterprofit.com/?s=smackdown I guess you were wondering why the Canary marketed it for sale without providing interested buyers with a veterinary report. Well wonder no more. […]
Three years ago Mufasa Metro ran 1.57.4 to beat the great Just Believe over 2190m at Maryborough. Later that year he ran 4th to the champion in the Inter-Dominion final. Four months later Mufasa Metro won the Scotch Notch, and at the end of 2023 he ran Just Believe to a length when finishing runner-up […]
Fortunately no one was badly hurt in the fall below in the 1st at Gawler on Sunday. It looked pretty awful. There but for the grace of God we go.
It’s becoming painfully clear that the current National Rating System in Australian Harness Racing is absolutely crippling the future of our top-line juvenile pacers. When you get a genuinely talented young horse, instead of being able to enjoy and develop them through their four and five-year-old seasons and beyond, you’re almost forced into early retirement […]
How does Jason Grimson do this shit? He gets a rating 63 mare off Olivia Frisby a few weeks ago. Delightful Star is her name. Frisby has won low grade restricted races with the mare at Parkes, Bathurst and Young, but on each of the ten occasions bar one that it has come to town […]

You could tell very early on in the Victoria Cup tonight that Leap To Fame wasn’t quite right and might struggle to win. It became apparent when shortly after the start Grant Dixon pushed off the fence and came around three-wide looking for the death. Luke McCarthy on Kingman half-kicked up but he was only […]
What a great night of harness racing we have ahead of us at Melton tonight. We will try to give you a few winners to make it even better. Couple them up in exotics and quaddies and you will finish the night happy. RACE ONE A tough race to kick off the glittering night of […]
In among all the excitement about a great night of racing at Melton tonight, something is missing. The Emma Stewart/Clayton Tonkin stable domination of the fields. Last year Stewart and Tonkin had seven runners in the Victoria Derby, more than half the field. This year they only have three. Then they had six in the […]
The big guns come out to play at Addington on Friday night, with all of the Kiwi hopes for the NZ Cup lining up over 2600m from the stand in the Canterbury Classic except Akuta, whose Spring carnival campaign looks doubtful after he suffered an internal bleed when unplaced last start. Reigning NZ Pacer of […]
