Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
This race was so good that it sent shivers down my spine. Call me weird, but I get excited by head to head sporting contests like this. Boxing matches, tennis finals, rugby tests, footy finals, horse races, sex with Maggie, it doesn’t matter. Watching the best of the best go at each other one on […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/nsw/PCM12022204.mp4 Well aren’t you lucky I told you not to fall for the con and buy The Fortunate Son for $25 grand thinking that as a horse who had just run 1.49.4 he was a chance in the Miracle Mile sportsfans? It’s the oldest rule in the book. When something looks too good to be […]
In a sensation, but not a surprise, a week before the court was due to make a determination regarding the admissibility of the phone tap and surveillance evidence obtained by police and RIU (Racing Integrity Unit) investigators in the long running Operation Inca taskforce investigation into race fixing, all the charges have been dropped. Don’t […]
Look at Hugh Bowman’s ride on Outlandos in the 3rd race at Randwick today, and compare and contrast it to that of J-Mac on Delexo in the race immediately after. Diamonds and rocks. And trying and not. Tom Berry on the second horse here was trying too. Trying to cheat. But he proved ‘armless.
Watch this race. Just don’t expect to listen to it. The dubious private company sucked from the heart of country racing volunteers On The Bit might be paid half a million plus a year to broadcast country racing, but you wouldn’t pay them two cents for being on the ball. The callers mic doesn’t talk […]
Listen closely. Oh dear. Mr Jockey, wash your mouth out with soap. Mr Editor, I will see you in my office.
A lot of people are asking a lot of questions about James McDonald’s ride on the $2.80 favourite Delexo in the fourth race at Randwick today. Sadly for punters, the NSW Stewards do not appear to be among them. They asked a cursory question, and took J-Mac’s answer as read. Not everyone does. What do […]
Race 9: Robrick Lodge Triscay Stakes 1200m (Group 3): The start of this race was significantly delayed as a consequence of the veterinary attention required for the injured Moonshine Lady with the race jumping at 5:47pm. Moonshine Lady After being loaded, became fractious, reared and consequently became cast in the barriers, sustaining a catastrophic injury […]
This is bad, really, really bad. A six-year-old mare collapsed on the track on the way to the barriers for the second last race in Sydney. Her name was Moonshine Lady. Wil Hulbert used to train her in Brisbane, and she was fairly handy early on in her career, but as she worked her way […]
It is Harness Millions night at Alexandra Park in Auckland, and if any of the next five races are anything like the first one, then if you are a sports fan you wouldn’t miss it for quids. This is harness racing at its absolute best. We just saw NZ’s best two trotters – trots being […]
