Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
WA harness race driver Briana Edman is 21-years-old and has only been in the cart since November 2023, so perhaps we shouldn’t be too hard on her about her drive on the well supported Sidestrepo in race 5 at Gloucester Park last night. Harness racing is however a professional sport upon which millions of dollars […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/wa/GPM09052503.mp4 The drive of Shane Young on Wonderful To Fly in the G3 WASBA Breeders Stakes at Gloucester Park on Friday night was very strange indeed. Young led on the fave from gate 1, but at the bell with two laps to go he meekly handed up the front to the second favorite Penny Black […]
There have been some interesting developments in recent weeks relating to harness slot races. Kevin Seymour, who missed out on buying a 3-year slot in the Protostar in a ballot, has purchased the slot previously owned by Anthony Vugec. Keen to secure a slot so the 2yo that bought by his grandson Ben Seymour in […]
Archie Interesting discussion on the Freo Cup. None of this would be occurring had Grimson not forgotten to nominate Swayzee (Pearl picks up a lot of gossip from her front verandah in Pinjarra). The poor drive was Luke McCarthy, not being hard up on the back of Minstrel. Given that there were stories that Catch […]
Seriously all fours drives were brilliant? You could have had concession drivers on all of them. CAW draws 1 on the fence and leads…… MS draws 10 follows the 1 out and sits leaders back Luke goes back initially then goes around to the breeze Deni follows Luke, continues to the breeze and gives him […]
Deni Roberts – the top flight driver that Belle calls the Duchess Archie You can’t put all the blame on Luke (McCarthy). Duchess Deni (Roberts) wasn’t smart enough to move right up on Catch A Wave (CAW) early enough to give the 1×1 horse (the Luke driven stablemate) on her back a chance to keep […]
Gary Hall Jr treated us to a masterclass on Mister Smartee last week in the Nullarbor, and last night in the Group 1 Fremantle Cup with the same horse he did it again. Hall drove Mister Smartee hard up the inside at the start from his inside of the backrow draw after Kate Gath fired […]
Nullarbor winner Gary Hall Jr, a great driver Cameron Hart sure is a slow learner. He made the same mistake twice, and it cost Swayzee the Nullarbor. We showed you Swayzee’s vulnerability a few weeks ago after he was run down from in front at Menangle. On that night he ran his second quarter in […]
It’s a most intriguing race the Nullarbor, on so many levels, one of the most important of which is the start. Most people have Mighty Ronaldo and Waverider coming out hard off the gate looking for the front, and Minstrel going with them and then crossing to the front, all in the first two or […]
The race before the Nullarbor on Friday night is just as interesting as the main event is, and has the potential to be as exciting too. Race 9 the DOWNLOAD THE APP 3YO CADECEUS CLUB CLASSIC PRELUDE NO.3 features the two best 3-year-old pacers in WA, but in this writer’s considered view two of the […]
