Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The trot trainers in Wagga who work out of stables at the showground were yesterday given eviction notices requiring them and their horses to be gone by the 1st of January. The reason for the show society’s decision is unknown, but it is a cruel pill to hand many of their long-term tenants just prior […]
There is something wrong with the handicapping of race 3 at Rockhampton today. Every horse in the race has been weighted to their proper rating listed on RISA bar one. Svindal. The plunge horse that has been backed from $19 into $5 at the time of writing. This horse is a rating 79.5, as per […]
For some reason the name of Sunshine Coast gallops trainer Damian Batters keeps crossing my desk today. I have no idea why. Please don’t tell me because I don’t want to know. What you don’t know can’t hurt you they say. Like all things, I guess we will find out why Batters name has been […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/sa/GDC18112405.mp4 Heza Tiger – trained by Super Mario Borg, driven by his aunty Gaita Pullicino – is backed from $16.00 into $4.00 in the 6th race at Globe Derby today. The horse is a cat that has had 40 starts for just 2 wins, so you know something is going on that probably shouldn’t be. […]
We’ve all heard of trainers giving horses an easy run, but this is ridiculous. Tambo’s Justice joined the Georgie Holt stable in October just weeks after it has trialed for Tony Gollan over 1050m at Deagon and finished 2nd last beaten 8.25 lengths. On the 6th of November the horse trialed for Holt over 850m […]

Emma Stewart had six runners in the Breeders Crown 3YO Colts and Geldings final. Only one of them – Some American – was owned by her Dad. Some American was allowed to stroll to the front early after its stablemate the $1.70 favorite and initial leader Bay of Biscay took hold and allowed it across. […]
Controversial jockey Justin Huxtable has lodged an appeal against his indefinite standdown by the QRIC after he was charged with a criminal offence. Huxtable’s appeal will be heard by the Racing Appeals Panel on Thursday. We wish him the best of luck. Given the subject matter of his police charge and his subsequent conduct he […]
Some people say that you should only back SA trot trainer ‘Super Mario’ Borg’s horses when they are in the first few races on the card. I know not why they say such things, but I disagree. So too do the stable punters who piled into Tuff Tiger in the last race at Globe Derby […]
There were 3 Stewards rostered on at Saturday’s race meeting in Clermont. Two of them came in one car from Rockhampton 370km away. The other came in a separate from Longreach, a 427km one-way drive.
