Nude Tips
The Naked Tipster (pictured) waiting for her Punting Prince to arrive. My tip is he will turn up at the Heath tomorrow after she tips us six winners.
A Somewhat Unusual Selection
No disrespect at all to Luke Spicer, who I am sure is a very nice and capable bloke. But why the hell would Racing QLD send a regional track supervisor to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia as its representative at the Asian Racing Conference, when the burning issues are the Group racing pattern committee and calendar, drugs […]
Ants if Off Back To Aotearoa – We Are Going To Miss Him
Story by Garrick Knight – Harness Xpress One of New Zealand’s most successful drivers is returning home. Anthony Butt is moving back to Christchurch in the near future where he is expected to link up with last year’s premiership winning Stonewall Stud stable. Butt confirmed the move to the Xpress, reenforcing rumours that had been […]
We Are All Just Animals
Have a look at the final stages of the 1995 Inter Dominion Grand Final, and keep your eyes on Chris Alford in the green colours on Golden Reign. Unbelievable it is. In the modern age he would have been disqualified for sure. The whip use would have been enough. But what about the right foot […]
The Greatest Gen? – Dirk Says Keith’s Memory is Fading
I read Keith from Queensland’s assessment of the upcoming Hunter Cup as promising to be being the greatest race in history. Mmmm, I am not so sure. Personally I think some memories need refreshing. Christchurch Inter Dominion 1995. Golden Reign (champion $1.2 mil) had Chokin (champion $1.8 mil), Master Musician (champion $1.9 mil) Blossom Lady […]
Keith on Maoris Idol v Keayang Zahara and Other Things Harness
Now I’ve reluctantly conceded Poppy may no longer be the greatest pacer I’ve seen, its time I flag the possibility that Maori’s Idol’s throne is up for grabs too. They’ve been challengers such as Scotch Notch, Lyell Creek and more recently Just Believe I couldn’t justify those champions taking the crown. Keayang Zahara has a […]
Keith From QLD in Praise of HRV, Larry and the King
Archie and I have been discussing lately how epic the talent that’s here and NZ. It’s truly an era my romanticism recognises from 40 plus years ago. I have always had Popular Alm on a pedestal and make no apologies for it. There were probably better horses in the last 40 years so I’m not […]
A Very Bad Mistake
If you are going to try and king hit a restaurant worker, it’s best not to choose one who is a trained boxer, even if they are smaller than you. It’s a very bad mistake. As this bloke found out. He got his just dessert. Sucked in.
HRSA Seeks Information About Terror Attacks on Trot Family
Harness Racing South Australia has asked industry participants for assistance in the wake of a series of disgraceful cowardly attacks on the property of local trainer Lane Johnson and his family over the past 6 weeks. The seemingly targeted criminal attacks that began early last month when the Johnson’s property was fire bombed with what […]
Just Don’t Ask the Judge
This is the photo finish of the 6th race at Townsville last Friday. Who has run 5th to 8th? Racing QLD have it as being the horse one from the outside, in the orange silks with blue and orange cap with orange pom pom. So did RISA, the official website of Australian racing. But it […]
