Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
An hour ago the emerging young superstar trainer from Newcastle Nathan Doyle won the 2nd and last race on the Magic Millions card, the $500 000 MM The Debut with his flying 2yo Rush Hour. Just a few moment ago Doyle trained the quinella in the 6th race in Sydney. He’s got one more runner […]
The well known Sydney harness racing family the McDowell’s are no slouches when it comes to the training game. The family have won a host of Group 1 and other group and listed races with their horses over the years, including all the juvenile features across two states with their champion filly of the 1980’s […]
They say that Jason Grimson was over in New Zealand just before Xmas. He stayed at Mark Jones place. In the week since Grimson left Jones has had 19 starters for 7 wins, 6 seconds, 2 thirds and a 4th. Jones winning strike rate post Grimson’s visit is 37%. His season strike rate is 11.6%. […]
I say – and have said consistently for 2 years – that harness racing trainer Jason Grimson is a nothing but a cheat, a cheat of epic proportions. Now we can test my theory. Grimson has just acquired the once good but now busted former New Zealand pacer Sicario, who will be an eight-year-old coming into […]
There were 8 races on the program at Burnie in Tasmania on Friday night. Collectively they were worth just a tick under $51 000. Ben ‘Chainsaw’ Yole collected most of it. It wasn’t hard, given that he trained 64 of the 75 starters on the card. This is ridiculous. Tassie harness racing is right now […]

Well Keith from QLD has claimed a huge scalp on his first day on the dob. He points the bone at Darren Weir, and inspired by Keith so does Jamie Stier. DK Weir’s DQ for possession of two jiggers might be expiring soon, but it matters about as much as a melting snow flake in […]
ID88 winner Our Maestro, trained by a mug but not driven by one. Vinnie chose to steer Bag Limit. It ran last. See Jack, you’re not the only one. Did you say cheating by using superior drugs to the others? No comment. True or untrue it’s not the thread I am talking about anyway. What […]
Grimson could get me to win a Stawell Gift — Barney Boyington (@AndrewBoyington) December 10, 2022
After their stable’s rout of the big races in Australia and New Zealand on the weekend, we thought we’d take a quick look at the comparative season statistics for both the Mark Purdon and Emma Stewart stables. The similarities are frightening. Emma Stewart’s metro figures are straight underneath Purdon’s, and her state-wide stats are in […]
