Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/wa/GPC02062610.mp4 This is race 6 at Gloucester Park last night. Number 3 Strike Force has been backed late from $15.00 into $7.50, and according to our mail from the corporates has been coupled up in multis and exotics for plenty. Kyle Harper drives it. He is the son of the multiple disqualified cheat Lindsay Harper. […]
Willie Pike is an outstanding jockey, with one of the best strike rates in the land. Sometimes I wonder about some of his rides though. This one on Herault in race 8 at Belmont was one of them. Herault was backed from $2.40 into $1.95. Willie rode it rather weirdly. He let the winner Antique […]
Hi Archie, No doubt about it, RWWA gets the Gold Logie when it comes to cowering to the big end of town and tilting the odds in their favour. Race 10 on Friday Night is a 3 year old race, a $21,000 race with “NO NR, PBD MW” listed as the conditions. For the uninitiated, […]
Race 5 at the Pinjarra trots this afternoon. The 8 American Eyes is unbeaten in 4 starts and looks like a real good horse in the making. It blows from $1.65 out to $2.10. The 10 horse Captain Said So looked like a good horse earlier on its career, but has finished a pair of […]
Hi Archie, Gunther from Gidgiegannup here, reporting on a family night out at Gloucester for the Punter Family …… Nope, not a great idea. First problem, a 60 minute journey to the Jewell of WA harness, Gloucester Park……and the joint is surrounded by roadblocks. Rookie mistake, don’t go to the trots when there is an […]

The bloke in the video above is leading WA trainer Michael Young. Listen to him as he tells the harness media and the public that his 2 runners won’t be trying in their races at Pinjarra on Monday night. Lovely stuff isn’t it? Fortunately for punters who ignored him or didn’t hear this interview, Young […]
The WA Harness Industry, like others Australia wide and probably across the ditch, is on it’s knees, bleeding money, all metrics collapsing, …….turnover, participation, licensed personnel, foal numbers, horse population….you name it, it is in decline. And it is not because of a fuel crisis triggered by you know who in Pennsylvania Avenue. Solution, simples, […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/wa/GPM03042607.mp4 Take a look at Gary Hall Jr’s drive on the 7 A Little Silence in the last race at Gloucester Park last night. It blew from $1.70 out to $2.20. The winner Luvbite firmed $3.30 into $1.80. When you see Hall Jr’s drive you will immediately understand why. The highlight comes in the back […]
