Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
We told you 7 months ago that the much vaunted NZ Operation INCA into corruption in the Kiwi harness racing industry was dead in the water, a walking corpse. Now finally the mainstream media have caught up. Quick off the mark aren’t they? https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/operation-inca-charges-dropped-after-17-month-investigation-into-harness-racing-industry/QVLZUBY5IZB6TPGDYEAGN45SSY/ How lucky are the two leading trainers who were caught injecting […]
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/addington-cup-day-in-pictures-all-the-colour-from-the-biggest-day-on-canterburys-social-calendar/BDJXQE6WPFD5JPYKYHTVANL67E/ The link above has a great video from Woodend Beach about sand, beaches and shampoo. But none of them beach boys and girls won the NZ Cup did they? Jumping Jase did. The rumour is that Tim Butt’s nominated the boy from Young for a knighthood. Arise Sir Jason Grimson. The greatest trainer in […]
Watch the run of the horse in blue at the rear in the middle, Mr Love. It can’t possibly win on the turn, it’s 10 lengths off the leader. But win it does, and watch how far it gaps them in the run on after the post. Have you ever seen anything like it? Wow! […]
Some clown from Woodend Beach – my guess is Lurch or one of desperate to impress the boss disciples – fed us a false line yesterday afternoon in the obvious hope of embarrassing us and damaging our credibility. They amalgamated 2 of our least favourite people in harness racing as the lure, by telling us […]
Apparently there is a lot of conjecture down at Woodend Beach about how we are getting our on the money information about the goings on in the sand, and who is giving it to us. Fingers are being pointed everywhere, but always in the wrong places. We never give up our sources and never will, […]
Prominent Kiwi trainer Mark Jones – whose lawyers never replied to us after we gave them The Angels salute – doesn’t have his stables at Woodend beach, but our people tell us that he has been spotted out there regularly in recent times working his horses on the magic sand. It shows too. Just watch […]
The Wooden Beach magic worked again. Pure Courage, the hitherto walker that we told you last night had been backed as if unbeatable in the 1st at Addington today after having been transferred to beach trainer Ben Hope just 3 1/2 weeks ago, did as predicted and landed the money. The horse ran 5 seconds […]
See the $2.70 favourite on the NZ TAB to win race 1 at Addington tonight? Pure Courage is his name, and he has been smashed in the betting. They started getting into him when the markets opened and they haven’t stopped. But why? This horse has atrocious form, just 2 wins from 57 starts, the last […]
It seems that Mark Jones might have been doing a bit more than working his horses when he was spotted recently jogging up pacers on the sand at Woodend Beach, which it has to be said is some distance north east of his base at Burnham. Either that or Jones is a miracle worker, judging […]
I know the mare Angel of Montana very well. Very well indeed. In fact I think I might have been there at Karaka when she was purchased, and I might have followed her career from the day she was first hoppled up too. So when I tell you that she is no good, I ain’t […]
