Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Some days are diamonds and some days are stones, and anyone who tells you they’ve got a certainty for you in a race is a drone. Just check out race 2 at Gloucester Park on Friday night if you need any proof. The $121 shot in betting Double Up is probably the first horse in […]
Chicago Bull didn’t win the Group 2 Pat Cranley memorial at Gloucester Park on Friday night – it was impossible to beat the Team Bond triple team drive when they sizzle home in 28.5, 28.2 and 27.4 to run a mile rate of 1.52.6 on the tight turning half mile track – but at his […]
How many leaders actually win at Gloucester Park? One mate of mine says 80%. Another says 70%. We didn’t think it was that high, so to see if we could settle the debate we thought we would take a look at the December results and see what we could find out. It’s not very scientific, […]
To save the WA Stewards all the time, trouble and expense of holding inquiries into racing incidents on Friday night,, we thought that we would simply save the mysteries for them. Call it an early Xmas present, or just being plain bored. General – An inquiry was opened and adjourned to a time and to […]
Do you remember us telling you last week that WA driver Shane Young should have been outed for 6 months for his drive on a $1.12 favourite at Wagin named Suing You? Well Suing You had it’s start at Gloucester Park last night. It won. Did I say six months? Make it twelve. https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/wa/GPM10122104.mp4
Race 5 at Gloucester Park in WA on Friday night was a horror show. The second favourite McCardles Gem driven by it’s trainer Brett Smith was drawn in gate 2. $10 shot Cavalry Call was drawn the pole. Emily Suvaljko was it’s driver, and unsurprisingly she wanted the lead, for the horse had won the […]
I am not sure whether WA driver Shane Young is as crooked as a dogs hind leg, or a straight man who couldn’t drive to save his life. The jury is out. All I know is that he drove a $1.12 shot at Wagin tonight in a manner that severely compromised its chance of winning, […]
The WA race day integrity system employed at all Friday night metropolitan harness race meetings is the best in Australia of any code. There are four stewards at each meeting, one of whom may be a cadet. An investigator or compliance officer from the Principal Racing Authority (Racing and Wagering Western Australia, or RWWA) is […]
Robbie Easton was the $1.80 favourite from the pole in race 4 at Gloucester Park. As far as I can see he has never galloped in his life, or at least not in his 50 career starts anyway. He did tonight. The fave led easily from the inside draw, was a length in front by […]
