Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The Wolf Signs Divided Open Pace at Albion Park doesn’t sound like much, but it’s a really really interesting little pace, mainly because it acts as a litmus test about whether any trainer can get a horse going again after Jason Grimson has had it and it has left his care. Many have tried and […]
Major Mal is a 7-year-old pace who until tonight hadn’t won a race in its past 39 starts, with his winless drought extending for almost two years. That’s because Mal wasn’t trained by the Miracle Maker, our good mate Seaton Grima. He is now, and the drought’s over. Super Seaton had only had him for […]
The Queensland Racing Integrity Commission (‘QRIC’) has been advised that a licensed racehorse trainer has been arrested and charged by Queensland Police for criminal offences. QRIC Commissioner Catherine Clark advised that the participant’s licence has been suspended immediately. “QRIC’s role is to maintain the integrity of racing. Therefore, the trainer has been stood down from […]
Archie Mark Purdon confirms his genius by providing the ultimate “blood booster” for Oscar Bonavena on race day….. A good old fashioned root !!!! Pure genius !!!! Gray from Golden Bay Editors note: Gray is referring to Oscar Bonavena standing at stud this spring while he is still racing. It is a very clever idea […]
Emma Stewart won 3 of the 4 Breeders Crown pacing finals on Saturday night. She trained 1st, 2nd and 3rd in one of them, and 1st and 3rd in another. Had Stewart done this last year she would have collected $524 000 in stakes. This year due to prizemoney cuts she only took home $234 […]
On the topic of Jason Grimson, a reader has corrected us about his ability to educate and train juvenile pacers to success by reminding us of the deeds of Dont Think Twice, the pacer that first put him on the map. Trained throughout its career by Grimson, Don’t Think Twice won 16 races from 34 […]
Many of his close friends and supporters are openly vaunting Jason Grimson as the greatest trot trainer of all time, but this mob need to take a chill pill with a cup of tea and have a lie down. All credit to Grimson for his great training performance in getting Swayzee to back up to […]
What goes up must come down. Or at least that’s what we’re told. When it comes to Group 1 winners after they leave Jason Grimson’s care, it appears that it’s true. Boncel Benjamin – 12 starts, 0 wins I Cast No Shadow – 17 starts, 0 wins Ideal Dan – 26 starts, 0 wins Major […]
A prominent Northern Rivers gallops trainer was arrested yesterday and charged with two counts of rape of a minor. In an eerie coincidence the man, who was formerly based in Queensland, is believed at one time to have trained horses for disgraced Albion Park CEO Scott Steele. His alleged victim was aged 13 and 14 […]
I have been Jason Grimson’s biggest doubter and greatest critic for a long time now, but after Swayzee’s incredible performance to win the NZ just four days after racing and winning at Young it’s time for me to tap the mat. Jumping Jase is a genius. There you go, I’ve said it. I don’t know […]
