Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Archie Get yourself over to Mt Isa on Saturday as a jockey. Ride 5, go slow, stay safe, and walk out with more than $1200 plus any prize money you earn. And $800 from Racing QLD to help pay for the trip. Happy days. Rob from Rangeview
Archie Did you watch the trial at Albion park today? Dangerous. What a disgrace to the sport this is. Apparently Grimson has only had the horse a week. He’s no GOAT, he is a fucking cheat. My mates have trained heaps of Group 1 winners and they couldn’t do that. No-one is that good. It […]
The highlights that the QLD bush town of Alpha (pop. 599) are that it has a tourism information centre, golf course, art gallery, showground, Racecourse, parks, swimming pool, tennis courts, museum, hardware store, newsagents, bank, pub, grocery store, butcher, baker – but no candle maker – a post office, BP, Caltex, craft shop, hairdresser, pharmacy, […]
There are 5 races at Mt Isa, with a total of 40 runners. Tanya Parry trains 34 of them. That’s 85% of the horses on the card. Parry trains all of the 8 in race one, and each of the 9 in race 4. She has 5 of the 7 in races two and three, […]
Jason Grimson has had Dangerous for at best a couple of weeks. He got it off the horse’s life long trainer Shane Sanderson, a Group 1 winner. Dangerous has always been a very good horse – he ran 4th in the 2024 Inter Dominion final – but he has never been considered a superstar. Not […]
The last time we saw racing’s everywhere man Baldy, the Forrest Gump of the punt world, was 3 weeks ago in Swan Hill. On Thursday popped up 1700km away at Casino. He has had a haircut in between. It looks like a $5 job at the apprentice barber’s school to me. The fiver was probably […]
Why the hell do some people keep trying to fix things that aren’t broken? The Auckland Trotting Club tried to become property developers so that it could ‘secure the future of harness racing’, which was already sitting pretty and travelling well. Instead they sent the sport into the abyss, and their club and track with […]
See that bit of missing running rail at the 1300m mark in the first at Ballina on Sunday? Why wasn’t it there? It should have been. Whose job was it to check? They obviously didn’t, and it created a safety hazard that put horses and jockeys at heightened risk. That’s not on. We all make […]
Seaton Grima has been a bit quiet lately, but yesterday at Menangle he roared back to life, First there was Shoreline Dream, which had only been able to win one mangy race in slow time for Emma Stewart and Peter Bain at its past seven starts before it came to him, none in faster than […]
Jason ‘Jill’ Grimson had three runners in yesterday, 2 at Menangle and 1 at Albion Park. They all won. https://www.harness.org.au/racing/trainers/jason-grimson/ He has two in at the Creek on Saturday night, Tokyo Rose and Maxo Mighty. The chances are that they will too. Most of Jill’s do. And the Winter Carnival hasn’t yet really begun. The […]
