Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
When was the last time you saw a rating 63 class pacer that had won just 5 races from almost 50 starts framed at $6.00 fourth favourite in the pre-post market t0 win a Hunter Cup? Until today, how about never? That’s all changed now though, thanks to the Sir Jason Grimson factor. If the […]
Sir Jason Grimson has only been back in Sydney for less than a week, but it was plenty of time enough for him to pull off another of his famous miracles. Denis William hadn’t raced for a year and half since breaking down at Cranbourne in July 2022 when trained in Victoria by Simone Walker, […]
Our least favourite lawsuit threatening NZ harness racing licensee Mark ‘Bones’ Jones apparently used to be able to drive horses capably, although in the past decade we have seen little evidence of that, with his record over the past 4 seasons being just 20 winner from 254 starts, similar stats to Bozo the Clown when […]
The last at Gloucester Park last night was a 5 horse race for 2YO fillies. Trainer Colin Brown had two horses in the race, the $4.40 second favourite Exceptional Arma who is a smart filly with a redord of 9 wins from 15 starts and best time at GP of 1.56.8, and the $51.00 pop […]
Cherokee Jac, the pacer whose form is listed above and below, is yet another of these production line trainer Alex Ashwood specials that over the past few years we have written so often about on this site. Prior to joining the Ashwood stable last month the horse had raced 33 times and never won a […]

Want to see how good Jason Grimson is? Or how bad, depending on what way you look at it? Then make sure you watch the time honoured Group 3 Junior Free For All at Addington on Cup Day this Tuesday. Since arriving in New Zealand last week Grimson has gained a new horse, a lowly […]
In the story below that we published in April we told you that Ben Yole didn’t have workers compensation insurance for the young workers who were injured in the terrible accident on the way home from the races in Hobart as required by law, and that he was underpaying their rightful entitlement to wages. We […]
The word is that the Emma Stewart race day treatment before the Maryborough Cup matter went before the HRV Stewards for hearing on penalty this week. To date there has been no information released about the matter by HRV, and quite surprisingly we haven’t heard a word about the outcome either. We can only hope […]
The Mark Jones prepared pacer Tinkerbelle. It must be named after its trainer, even if he can’t get the spelling right. I got a phone call from a number in New Zealand this morning, and thinking it might have been my mate the Jackal the judge on a break in between cases I picked it […]
