Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Here is my early view of how the first few hundred meters of the ID26 Pacing Final will unfold. This is not my summation of the race, just of the early part. Gate 1 – War Dan Buddy Buddy is drawn the pole, but is not a super quick beginner off the gate. I doubt […]
Mishani Glaze has clearly had a major problem since resuming from an 8 month spell. Before the horse went to the paddock its form was 2341. Since resuming in late April it has finished 8th of 12 at Warwick beaten 7 lengths, last at Toowoomba beaten 15 lengths, last at Gatton beaten 20 lengths, and […]
The answer is nine. That’s how many Stewards were on duty at Albion Park on Saturday night. Each and every one of them missed this. It’s Peter McMullen on Attachment that we are looking at. McMullen takes the horse from the one wide line back to the inside on the turn. He clearly goes inside […]
What an absolute load of shit this is. Of course Tiger Band Wagon was suffering from respiratory problems after running last in its ID26 heat on Saturday night. It has just a run a lead time 2.5 seconds faster than in Dangerous’ heat, and 2.9 seconds quicker than in Leap To Fame’s. And the run […]
There is something wrong with Fighter Command. The Vets disagree. They could find nothing wrong with the horse. I wonder if they examined the underneath of its feet? This horse was either badly shod or it was sore. The Stewards didn’t suss anything amiss either. They simply copped driver Jason Lee’s nonsense explanation that Fighter […]
I don’t know whether Regan Todd is the first one to take the piss about him “training” Hesitate, or whether he is deluded, but the rest of the world knows that Hesitate was only transferred into his name so that Luke McCarthy could drive Todd’s superstar Marketplace in the Rising Sun. The ruse didn’t quite […]
Some people bemoan the money spent on non-TAB country meetings, and claim that its a waste of money. Those who turned out for the meeting at Esk in QLD yesterday disagreed. Just take a look at the crowd. There were more people at the country race day than there were at Caulfield or Eagle Farm. […]
What a shit coverage of the trots tonight on 7 Mate. It’s like being put on hold. Surely we can do better than this with the rare TV opportunities the sport gets. What a lost opportunity. The clowns are running the circus. Keith from QLD
Oops I think it might have been me. If so I was wrong. Just take a look at the Betfair hold on Leap To Fame’s ID26 heat tonight. Six figures! Almost all of it either for or against Leap To Fame. Wow. That’s a pool and a half on the trots.
RACE 5 – ID26 TROTTERS ROUND 2 HEAT 2 – 2138m The withdrawal of the well fancied Susan Is Her Name from the series throws the cat among the pigeons, and leaves the former Kiwi square gaiter Lovemeto as the $1.85 favorite. If you want to take that price you are welcome, but I would […]
