Race six on the Randwick Kenso yesterday was the hottest gallops race I have seen for a long time. A mare named Hasty Honey ridden by Kerrin McEvoy was backed from $9.00 into $3.00. It jumped straight to the front. Every other jockey in the race put the handbrake on. J-Mac on the 5/4 favorite […]

Darren Flindell is the Austin Powers of race callers, an international man of mystery. One who is unafraid too. The Sydney race caller is over in Qatar at the moment, the country that is getting pounded by Iranian bombs and shells. Flindell filmed it for the world to see. He probably called the bombs as […]
The newly set up N40 harness racing operation owned by Josh Davine is a very fluid beast. Michael Brennan is Davine’s private trainer, yet he has sent his recent $220 000 purchase the Victoria Oaks winner Coastal Babe to Luke McCarthy to train.
