Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Regular readers will know that long ago we tagged Nathan Jack with the nickname Cracker, as in Cracker Jack. Well tonight Cracker was in the cart of a Kiwi import named after him. Crackerjack it was called of course. Cracker drove Crackerjack to win. I backed it at $8.00. It firmed into $4.40. Onya you […]
A couple of days ago we declared Minos an absolute certainty at Albion Park, and begged you to take the tip. Hope you did. It shit in. $2.80 we got, and are wishing you did too. Leap To Fame holds the track record at Albion Park. It is the greatest pacer ever seen. Minos is […]

Could M Hurley in the Stewards report from Albion Park on Thursday be one and the same Michael Hurley, the former NSW harness racing Steward who since 2006 had been working as a real estate agent up to and until the time in 2020 when he became involved in an altercation with former trot driver […]
The malicious campaign against SA trot trainer Lane Johnson has begun again. What has this bloke done? And who has he done it to? We have some idea, or at least we know what we have been told. If it was us we wouldn’t be painting things on walls. we would be dealing with it […]
