Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
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, […]
The news that Racing and Wagering Western Australia are following Victoria’s lead by introducing one lap sprint races should shock no-one who is aware of the levels of incompetence inside that particular outfit. It appears that RWWA have fallen for the Victorian spin about sprint races being God’s gift to increasing wagering turnover, without actually […]
The Group 2 James Brennan Memorial for open class pacers at Gloucester Park on Friday night attracted a full field of 12, making it the first FFA race with more than half a dozen runners for months. Before you get too excited about the sudden upsurge in interest in racing at the top level in […]
Prior to All Clear, the Co-Trainer of the second placed TURN THE PAGE NZ G Bond requested to view the photo finish image and he also subsequently lodged a protest against the first placed AUGUST MOON, alleging that the driver of the filly, G Hall Jnr used his whip in contravention of R156 (2)(a) in […]
Why do seemingly healthy 5YO horses suddenly drop dead on the track in races and training? How come the vast majority of the deceased that do come from major stables? It’s probably a question best directed to those involved, but personally the name Santa Anita keeps running through my head. The Summit Bloodstock owned Chicago […]
