Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
A prominent Northern Rivers gallops trainer was arrested yesterday and charged with two counts of rape of a minor. In an eerie coincidence the man, who was formerly based in Queensland, is believed at one time to have trained horses for disgraced Albion Park CEO Scott Steele. His alleged victim was aged 13 and 14 […]
Swayzee is the 2nd best pacer in the Southern Hemisphere. To better than hum makes Leap To Fame the greatest pacer down under that there has ever been. Blair Orange timed Dont Stop Dreaming’s final charge wrong, and went too early. If he’d held up for two seconds longer Swayzee may not have had time […]
I have been Jason Grimson’s biggest doubter and greatest critic for a long time now, but after Swayzee’s incredible performance to win the NZ just four days after racing and winning at Young it’s time for me to tap the mat. Jumping Jase is a genius. There you go, I’ve said it. I don’t know […]
The track at Addington yesterday was officially rated as fast, but if you believe that you will believe anything. This racing surface was crap. No horse in any of the four Group 1 races run on the day got within 4 seconds of the race record. I don’t know what the Addington track manager and […]

My mate Greg Stanton was the heavyweight boxing champion of Australia in his prime. He went on to coach a host of Australian champions after that. In between he won quite a few trot races as a trainer. And achieved the great Australian dream of owning a pub. The one thing that no-one ever expected […]
Did Tim Vince really win $20k bets against Auckland Trotting Club ever seeing their $80 million from the Chinese? Given the layered company structures of the defaulting developer and things hidden behind bowlers and trusts, what hope are the ATC of ever suing to enforce the now voided Franklin Park contract of sale? Has Jason […]
Are the clowns in charge of the Alexandra Park circus sure there has been no news to report since January, as the Auckland Trotting Club website suggests? How about hometown hero Merlin being 2nd favorite to win the Cup? Or star 2yo Captain Sampson taking on the South Island’s best in the Sires Stakes? What […]
