Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
This is an extract of the financials from the most recent annual report of the Gloucester Park Harness Racing Club, the biggest trot operator in the state of Western Australia. As would appear obvious from the numbers, the club lost almost $400 000 last year. How did they do it? Well the obvious answer is […]
There is yet another cracking – as in breaking, not good – meeting at Gloucester Park in Perth on Friday night. Yet again just five horses have entered for the open class Free For All, and we’ve been lucky to get that, as one of the runners Minstrel has recently been sold to the US, […]
If you ever want to see a set up race watch race 4 at Gloucester Park on Friday night. The two pronounced favourites are the 4 My Ultimate Chevron and the 5 Hoppys Way. Both are easy in the market. The horse drawn 12 Alcopony (pronounced Al Capone Eee) is heavily backed from $15 into […]
The connections of Magnificent Storm mustn’t have won enough by cheating to win the WA Pacing Cup, for now RWWA are holding 4 horse charity events for them. Clearly the owners and trainers are not brave enough to follow in the footsteps of Village Kid, Jack Morris and Im Themightyquinn by travelling back over to […]
Hi Archie I read with interest your story about Race 10 on Friday night at Glopucester Park, and totally agree with you. The driver of the leader Dylan Egerton – Green should get 12 months. It was blatant team driving from the Brown camp, and as you pointed out his sole purpose appeared to be […]
The last at Gloucester Park last night was a 5 horse race for 2YO fillies. Trainer Colin Brown had two horses in the race, the $4.40 second favourite Exceptional Arma who is a smart filly with a redord of 9 wins from 15 starts and best time at GP of 1.56.8, and the $51.00 pop […]
The WA mare Wonderful to Fly is a magnificent pacer but the worst betting proposition in the world, a multi killer and the bookies best friend. Last night in the Group 2 Norm’s Daughter Classic at Gloucester Park she went down at odds of $1.34, which was the third time in her past 5 starts […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/wa/GPM10112304.mp4 Last night’s WA Cup ended up in controversy and animus that will take a long time to heal. The Ray Williams trained/Aiden De Campo Magnificent Storm won the race easily, but only after it gained the front as a result of De Campo knocking Hall Sr’s Stuart McDonald driven early leader Jumpingjackmac down. McDonald […]
My goodness, look what’s happened here. It’s race 2 at Northam on Saturday night. The finishing order in across the line in the race was Spudmeister 3rd, Wandering Girl 4th and Travelban 5th. https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/wa/NMC04112302.mp4 When they came back to scale the driver of the 5th horse lodged an objection against the 3rd horse for coming […]
What the hell was Gary Hall doing with his drive on the $1.30 favourite Never Ending in the WA Derby at Gloucester Park on Friday night? It stunk to high heaven. Hall is the stable driver for his father Gary Hall Jr, who had 4 runners in the race. Hall Junior knows those horse’s intimately, […]
