Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Conor Crook is the Tasmanian trot trainer that we told you during the week was caught with around 1o vials of EPO, and although that is yet to be made public by the authorities, trust us it’s true. This is the Stewards report from Launceston last Sunday. Gee I wonder what the Stewards found? And […]
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 […]
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 […]
Trot trainer Scott Garraway’s horse threw 17 positive swabs to cobalt, with some of the readings as high as 1300 ug/ml, which is extraordinary when you consider that the threshold is 100 ug/ml. What is even more extraordinary is that after his first positives came back from the lab, the trainer was given the option […]
Aldebaranstilinski is full of trot, and he jogs in – Albion Park race caller Chris Barsby Chris Barsby had it spot on. Aldebaranstilinski was full of trot, and he did jog in when winning race 7 at the Creek last night. In doing so the Mitchell Dawson trained/Nathan Dawson driven trotter ran 1.54.8, improving its […]
WTF are they doing riding Travolta so far back in races? It happened again today in the Wagga Cup when for the 4th race in succession the horse was positioned back near last by the jockey – Tommy Berry today but J-Mac previously, and given no hope in the world of winning off a slow […]
Jason Grimson has performed many miracles during his career, winning back to back Inter Dominions with the pair of claimers Boncel Benjamin and I Cast No Shadow, and transforming Swayzee from a pacer that was getting thrashed in restricted races at Redcliffe into a dual New Zealand Trotting Cup winner being principal among them, but […]
Archie Re: Tom Charlton and one out both out. This applies to offences which can be attributed to the trainer of a horse – i.e. positive swabs etc – both are considered the trainer therefore both are out. The charge against Mr O’Shea was an individual charge that could be levelled against any licensed participant, […]
It’s a lonely life for single man out in Barcaldine. And subscriptions to dating sites are expensive. Thank goodness for Facebook, and Meet QLD Singles. What Princess from the Kingdom of the Tree of Knowledge wouldn’t want to meet a man named Terry who is hung like a horse, or hangs off one holding a […]
Further to our earlier story about jigger man Todd Austin’s new bowler Terry Hall, we are told that the new kid in town almost collected and cleaned up a somewhat large – as in front rower sized – former trainer’s much loved wife while working his horses in the dark on the Barcaldine track in […]
