Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Yesterday “Australia’s Premier Horse Racing” website Racenet had the champion mare Autumn Glow being trained at Chris Waller’s stable at the Gold Coast. Overnight Racenet have made another stable switch. Now Autumn Glow is apparently being trained at Flemington. Perhaps third time lucky they might get it right. The mare is of course being trained […]
Isn’t it nice of the unnamed bookie to counsel their winning client on how he spends the money he withdrew from his betting account. It is odd how they don’t share the degree of care when he deposits money into his account. And when he bets. Funny that.
Has Chris Waller sent Autumn Glow up to Queensland to be trained at his Gold Coast stable? Racenet says so. Why didn’t we all hear about that? AI hey? Isn’t it a cracker?
The attacks on SA trot trainer continue apace, this time with overnight graffiti on the signs in the back straight at Globe Derby. I’m not sure whether its by sheer coincidence or because the vandal knows the lay of the land, but the signs that were spraypainted are just out of camera range on the […]
Mark Currie has hung up his gloves. The old fighter has succumbed to dodgy hips and given the horse training game away. It happens to the best of us, and it has happened to Boof at a time when he is training the best he ever has. Such is life. I lost feel sorry for […]
The recent case of harness racing trainer Craig Turnbull and his horse Star To Fall throwing a positive swab to Cotinine and Trans-3’-hydroxycotinine after winning a race at Wagga highlights the very real problem with the methods employed by Harness Racing NSW to test swabs. Cotinine and Trans-3’-hydroxycotinine are, as the name suggests, metabolites of […]
Race 3 at Longreach yesterday turned out to be an absolute debacle. Firstly four runners were late scratchings because there were no jockeys on course to ride them. Next the stirrup leather of the odds-on favourite Yes Larry broke on the way to the barriers and rider Robbie Faehr was thrown off. Faehr was unhurt, […]
WA trot trainer Mike Reed was scheduled to attend in inquiry last Thursday into his horse Henty throwing a positive swab to the banned beta blocker Solatol after winning a race at Gloucester Park in late November. We don’t know whether or not the inquiry proceeded, or whether Reed attended, but what we do […]
Racing Queensland confirms that a back-up race meeting has been programmed for the Polytrack at Sunshine Coast Turf Club on Sunday, March 22, in the event the club’s race meeting on its course proper on the day is unable to proceed. In the event there is a deluge of rain which causes the course […]
I keep telling you that G0t The Chocolates is a superstar. Watch what it did again at Addington last might and if you don’t already believe me, perhaps now you will. The scary thing is that Marketplace is just as good. They are the best two pacers in New Zealand, my favourite horse Merlin and […]
