Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
So a trot trainer buys a horse from interstate. He does everything right. Lodges a stable return and submits the transfer of ownership paperwork. All sweet you’d think, as he did. But there is a problem at the other end, in that the seller has not completed his paperwork properly. It’s not deliberate, and it’s […]
Ciaron Maher Racing has reached agreement with Racing NSW to take over the state-of-the-art NSW Southern Highlands equine property Bong Bong Farm, formerly the home of Waratah Thoroughbreds. The farm itself is a 97.5-hectare property that boasts 40 paddocks, four architecturally designed barns containing 61 boxes, 1,250-metre turf and sand training tracks, a swimming pool, […]
Wow! We predicted this last week. Kerry Ann Morris has transferred 13 horses to the stable of Grant Dixon. Do you reckon Dixon is training them? I don’t. He’s got Leap to Fame to look after, and a whole lot of other Solid Earth horses too, as well as others. What are the odds of […]
Layne Dwyer is a 16-year-old kid who has only been driving for a month, so it is hard to be too critical of him about anything that he does in a race while he is learning. Which is somewhat fortunate for his trainer father Graham Dwyer, who no doubt gave him the driving instructions in […]
Racing Queensland are lauding trainer/driver Doug Lee as some sort of legend of the game. It would help if the spin doctors knew a little bit of history. Back then it wasn’t easy to get convictions on animal cruelty charges. But D. Lee was convicted nevertheless. I wonder if he would ever have got his […]
Superstar Central QLD trainer Nick Walsh maintained his 1 out of every 2 winning strike at Mackay yesterday. As usual stable punters landed a mini plunge too. Has there ever been a trainer anywhere in Australia who has kept these winning percentages up for so long? We are more than 3/4 of the way through […]
A week ago, in a case that had been dragged out for more than 2 years, NSW leading trainer Kerry Ann Morris was outed for 6 months after one of her horses threw a pair of positives to the banned drug Levamisole. She put up a defense that the horse was contaminated before she got […]
Shane Tritton is a former NSW trot trainer now resident in New York. He is the trainer of Lochinvar Art, once Australia’s best horse. Tritton has been boasting on Twitter about how successful he has been lately. Strike while the iron’s hot HRNZ. Make the bum pay.
We have written before about the incredible success of young Rockhampton trainer Nick Walsh. Now he has done even better. With his winners at Rockhampton on Sunday and at Thangool yesterday Walsh has surpassed his previous record, and lifted his already amazing strike rate beyond the 50% mark for the season. Walsh has now trained […]
Julia Creek based trainer Tanya Parry is lauded by Racing Queensland as the savior of racing in the far north-west of the State. She probably is too. But if Parry is, then I don’t reckon racing up there is worth saving. I went back a year to see where Tanya Parry’s horses that raced on […]
