Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
What a strange thing for Grant Dixon to say. In his 32 start career he hasn’t taught Leap To Fame the art of showing early gate speed. Why not? Surely a great trainer like Dixon would have taught his horse to explode from the gate, for it doesn’t make sense not to have done so. […]
With about 12 weeks left to go in the season the Premierships Cameron Hart is a put in take out job to win both the NSW state and metr0 drivers titles with leads of 46 and 25 in each respectively. Josh Gallagher and Will Rixon are in a pitched battle for 2nd in the state […]
Looks like we're on track for a 3rd straight claimer to win the inters then never win another race #HelloJeff — Harness Lover (@HarnessLover) October 7, 2023 A harness fan posted this after the world’s most improved horse who went from running 10th in a Melton claimer 2 months ago to running 1.48.6 at Menangle […]
Anyone who follows trot form knows that the former Kiwi pacer Lochart Shard is no good. His record up until a month ago spoke for itself. 39 starts for 2 wins. It doesn’t say much for the horse does it? Or nothing that’s good anyway. The pacer had been through 2 countries, a duet of […]
Former New Zealand trainer/driver Kyle Marshall’s incredible run of success since moving across the ditch to Australia continued on Saturday night when his smart 2YO Smoken Ace came 4-wide from 2nd last to brain his rivals in the last race at Melton. The win took Marshall’s winning strike rate to a quite incredible 41% for […]
Jason Grimson is far too good for the mere mortal trainer to match. He took the seemingly busted arse pacer HI MANAMEISJEFF from running last tailed out in a claimer to winning in Miracle Mile type time in the space of a fortnight. Who else but Emma Stewart could do that? Perhaps Clayton Tonkin, maybe. But […]
A lot has been said about the Eureka, but very little has been spoken about the incredible training performance of Ahmed Taiba to bring Captain Ravishing into the mile and a half race first-up and run 3rd. It should be, for it was an outstanding achievement. With all the problems that the Captain has had, […]
No doubt the harness media who are on the payroll of either HRV, or certain trainers, owners or breeders will wax lyrical about the Emma Stewart stable getting 27 runners in the 72 horse fields for next week’s rich Group 1 Breeders Crown finals, and for sure they will be acclaiming her 9 wins in […]
We haven’t heard boo from that Kiwi clown Mark Jones since we told him and his lawyer to take a march across the ditch and hope they don’t sink. I guess he’s too busy trainer winners. Jones did a Rogie yesterday and got a dual code double. Some horse he trains named Mr Photogenic – […]
Back to the TAB Eureka and Dixon said he felt a mix of pride and deflation with second spot. “It looked like our race to win, but you can’t expect any more from him,” he said. “You wonder if I’d done anything differently, would it have changed the result, but I’m not to know that some horses […]
