Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
If you stayed up late last night watching the trots you would have seen a very, very promising pacer – possibly even a rising star of the west – win the last race at Gloucester Park. Blackrock is the horse’s name, and gee it looked impressive going to the line under its own steam to […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/wa/NMC25062412.mp4 Did WA’s leading driver take off 3-wide around them at the 800m mark in this race at Northam yesterday because he actually thought cutting out fast final quarter out in nowhere land into the wind would give his $41 shot racing well above its class Malakie the best chance to win? Or did he […]
Team Bond’s horse Advantage was the best named horse in WA the day it ran around and won at Pinjarra, for full of anti-inflammatory drugs that dulled any pain in its legs it had an advantage indeed. Advantage knocked off a $1.45 favorite in winning the Pinjarra race, consigning a huge number of punters bets […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/wa/GPM07062409.mp4 Just take a look at the mad arse driving tactics by Ryan Warwick on the inside on the 2nd favorite Navy Street and Gary Hall Jr on the outer on the $1.14 favorite You’re So Fine. The pair attacked each other mercilessly, Warwick looking to hold the lead and Hall trying to cross him […]
During the week we made trenchant criticism 0f the HRNSW for seemingly failing to take tissue samples from the body of the pacer Saginaw after he was euthanised on track at Menangle following an alleged colic attack. Less than a week later, on the opposite side of country, another pacer had the terrible misfortune to […]
So Shannon Suvaljko gets suspended for 12 days for shunting Chilli Palmer out onto Grand Couteau when (Suzalko) pushed off the fence into the running line right underneath him. Grand Couteau’s connections lose all chance of winning the race, the black type status and near on $30 000 in prizemoney. Who got the better end […]
We’ve written twice recently about the ridiculous nature of the local push out rule in WA, the one that allowed Gary Hall Jr to shunt Never Ending off the fence at the bell in the Nullarbor and forcibly push Hot And Treacherous 3-wide for the last lap https://peterprofit.com/the-adjourned-inquiry-reconvened-and-the-cone-of-silence/ and the other the incident at Pinjarra […]
So the winner takes it allAnd the loser has to fallThrow the dice, cold as iceWay down here, someone dearTakes it all, has to fallAnd it’s plain, why complain? – Benny and Bjorn, Abba Benny and Bjorn obviously didn’t go to the trots at Gloucester Park when they toured Perth in 1977, for if they […]
Never Ending got chopped in half in the Nullarbor two Fridays ago, was squeezed, checked, galloped and lost all chance. The big question was whodunnit? Was it Stuart McDonald on Jumpingjackmac, or Kate Gath on Catch A Wave, or was it Never Ending’s driver G. Hall Jr himself, trying to push his way clear of […]
Jack Callaghan slaughtered Spirit Of St Louis in the Nullarbor last week by not handing up to Hot And Treacherous, and last night in the Fremantle Cup he pulled a similar kill job on that horse in reverse. Happy Jack obviously hadn’t done his form properly, and didn’t realise that if Pinny Tiger got to […]
