Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
That’s not a rooster or a another derby Daz – it’s a fish! Was that Brittany Graham’s dad Darrel I spotted in the crowd during the broadcast of the NRL double header in Vegas yesterday? It sure looked like the great man who won the 2011 Chariots of Fire with triple Derby hero Lanercost, the […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/nsw/BRC24022405.mp4 What the hell did this give this horse Iambecauseofyou that recently smashed the track record at Broken Hill by three seconds? Just watch it go. If this wasn’t a milkshake job and then something a bit more I’m not here. Iambecauseofyou is a good horse, but not this good. His trainers have a bit […]
Jason Grimson wasn’t driving in the Chariots of Fire last night, but he still managed to totally psych out the drivers of everything in the race but his Frankie Ferocious, and it won him the race.

North-West NSW trainer Tom Ison seems to have become the Ben Yole of the boot scooting music capital of NSW, with him turning out 24 of the 89 runners at yesterday’s Tamworth trots, the majority of them owned by Summit Bloodstock and Aaron Bain Racing, and many of them having being formerly trained by Mr […]
How the hell did Sir Jason Grimson put an extra second of speed into the legs of Outside Fighter in the space of a few days, without making any gear changes. No notified ones at least. But there were gear changes, don’t you worry about that. It just wasn’t gear that you can see with […]
Jason Grimson has yet another new addition to his barn having its first start in his colors today in race 7 at Menangle. Somewhat unusually, Grimson has elected to drive it today too. The horse’s name is Outside Fighter. a seven-year-old gelding who has raced 145 times over six seasons for just 12 wins, and […]
