Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/vic/KIC09062211.mp4 Coming into race 4 at Kilmore last night the Chainsaw Yole trained 10-year-old pacer Southern GNP had won just 1 race from his previous 34 starts over the past year, most of the runs being down in lowly company in Tasmania. The single win was eight months ago against very poor company in 30-44 […]
There is nothing like a trip across the stormy seas of the Bass Strait to spark an old walker back to life, but don’t tell anyone that because all of a sudden all the seats on the ferry will be booked out by Lourdes style pilgrims and Ben Chainsaw Yole won’t be able to bring […]
I’ve just been reading through the Racing Victoria ‘Green Paper’ – Strategic Plan – for the next decade, and am sitting here shaking my head and wondering what planet these people are on. Some of RV’s potential (read: gunna happen, but we just can’t say so yet) plans are no brainers. Sandown gets sold to […]
Our story overnight about Cryptojock has come to the attention of highly respected blockchain expert Gordon Christian, the managing-director of award winning online digital company Digital Playhouse, and caused him enough consternation that he has written to racing.com requesting an urgent investigation into the bona fides of Cryptojock and its currency. Mr Christian’s correspondence was […]
High drama in the Pryde's EasiFeed 3YO Pace as our brilliant Clerk of the Course Brian Lincoln chases down Relentless Me and Jack Laugher after a gear failure.Terrific explanation by https://t.co/p8SlwkvsDr co-host Steve Cleave, with the pace declared a 'no race' by stewards. pic.twitter.com/SwWs9R1z4F — The Trots (@TheTrotsComAu) May 28, 2022 Jack Laugher lost control […]
It seems we got a rather important bit wrong in our earlier story relaying the mail about the Victorian visit to the central west of Northern NSW during the week. They were they alright, and they did come to interview Amanda Turnbull about the alleged Cobram fix, but it was not the HRV Integrity Team, […]
The news that RV have purchased a huge tract of land out near Tullamarine Airport makes the long rumoured sale of the Sandown racecourse an absolute certainty. RV are denying it at the moment, but that’s a cheque that you can take to the bank and cash right now, with confidence. It’s a good thing too. […]
Kyal Costello is Victorian Harness racing driver. In the space of 4 months he placed bets in 24 races in which he was competing. Let’s just hope that he backed his own horses. If he didn’t, then Mr Cosello would be well advised to find himself a new hobby. We won’t be seeing him at […]
Look at the crude drawing I did above of two race tracks built inside each other. Do they look the same size? Of course not. You can’t build an oval circuit inside an oval circuit and not expect it to be smaller. That’s just stupid. Caulfield is 2080m around from post to post, and has […]
The nominees for the 2021 Victorian Horse of the Year Awards have been announced. Let’s have a crack at picking the winners. 2YO pacing fillies: Amore Vita, Encipher, Irish Black Label Three very good fillies here, and it is a raffle. Encipher beat Amore Vita in the Breeders Crown. Amore Vita beat her in the Vicbred […]
