Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
No it’s not Leap To Fame. His top speed last night was 55.60km/h. The difference between Larry and normal horses is that he can run at that speed all day long, whereas others can only run at their top speed for a short period before the exertion takes its toll on them. French Fries hit […]
We always used to call Jason Grimson Jill as a joke, because they always hung around with Jack Trainor. Jack and Jill went up the hill … da da da da. It seems however that J. Grimson liked the feminization of their name, because according to Friday night’s Albion Park stewards report they have changed […]
The Brisbane Winter carnival is over, and the swabs seem to have gone on vacation. Only 8 runners on yesterday’s 9 race card at Doomben were pre-race swabbed, two of them in the same race. No horse was pre-race tested in races 3 or 8. Not one of Tony Gollan’s seven runners copped one. None […]

The word out of Alexandra Park is that Auckland Trotting Club chairman Jamie ‘ Watches’ Mackinnon is being paid a six-figure sum to act as a consultant to the club. A consultant on what? No-one seems to know. You’d certainly hope its not successful property developments or real estate deals. Mackinnon’s consulting role was never […]
Archie Leap To Fame the best in the world you say? Maybe, but then maybe not, he wins easily but what is he beating? Bulldog Hanover was beating high class older horses when he went on his 4 weeks in a row speed streak with the 1.45.4 m (1.45. 8 or 9 here) and he […]

ID25 finalist Cya Art has an unusual and somewhat unfortunate connection to two of the most prominent scandals in harness racing of the past 12 months. The first is the urine substitution scandal at Goulburn that saw young reinsman Jack Brown and Lucas Rando disqualified from the game for years. Cya Art is owned by […]
The hopes of he two favorites Cardigan Dan ($3.20) and Fire and Passion ($3.60) were deader than Elvis after the field in Saturday night’s $500 000 Protostar had gone just 100m. It was all the Victorian visitor Atua Magic and his junior driver Ryan Sanderson’s fault. Sanderson couldn’t control his wayward horse, which took over […]
