Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Chris Waller was the hero who came to Queensland. He came, he saw, he plundered. Now he is off to Scone. True story. Waller is about to shut his Gold Coast stable down, and relocate it to Scone. Queensland racing is the bomb. The bomb that blew itself up. Thanks Winxy. Make sure you give […]
A pacer from the Riverina named Malinjang has 13 starts for four different trainers over 18 months. The best it can do is run two 3rds. Its average beaten margin over the 13 starts is 67.5 metres. Malinjang gets sold to prominent owner Mick Falvo, and he sends it to his favourite trainer Alex Ashwood. […]
This is Lord Bazalup. He is a pacer, but more accurately, he is a walker. Jamie Durnberger from Summit Bloodstock owns him. Summit Bloodstock is Australia’s larges harness race horse owner by volume. Ben Yole is Lord Bazalup’s trainer. Last week Ben was honoured by Harness Racing Australia with an award as the nation’s leading […]
Silly Willie Pike will be finished as a jockey in his home State once the law kicks in, and many others in both codes will find themselves in the same basket. The vaccination status of his main stable, the leading training partnership Grant and Alana Williams, is unknown but the former pink and whites have […]
Remember the story we told you a couple of weeks ago about a horse called High Flying Harry, and how we believed the Racing Integrity Board Adjudicator Olivia Jarvis – the partner of a lawyer who is friendly with the horse’s trainer John Dunn – had erred badly by not finding that the driver Korbyn […]
Joe Conolly used to be a full-time copper and part-time trainer who played around around with the few horses and enjoyed a bit of luck. I don’t know if Conolly still a detective in the NSW police force, but he certainly has a lot more horses these days, and is having a whole lot of […]
We wrote yesterday about how jockey Brad Stewart wiped out one of John Symons and Sheila Laxon’s runners in a race at Doomben on Saturday and quite probably caused it to bleed. Well it’s just not the Group 1 winning couple’s weekend. Yesterday at Caloundra young apprentice Melea Castle followed the leader, and wiped out […]
The tote staff were busy at Dubbo last night they say https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/nsw/DUC14012208.mp4 Garry Edwards is a sprightly young chap of age 74 who is just starting to hit his straps as a harness racing trainer/driver. Up until last night at Dubbo young Gaz had driven 20 winners in the 21st century, none on the same […]
Surf Ace had raced 29 times prior to last night, for four trainers and four wins. The fastest time that he’d ever won in was 1.59.6. Last night the four-year-old pacer appeared for the first time at Bathurst in the colours of his new trainer Turbo Trainor. It was his first run for three weeks. […]
How odd that a Battle of the Bush winning trainer’s entire stable of runners would be scratched from a race meeting. Come to think of it, David Reynolds hasn’t had a runner since New Year’s Day. I wonder if he has COVID-19? They say it’s running rampant out where he’s currently staying.
