Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Here you go, just like we told you. Except it’s not true. The kid wasn’t sick, her master just said she was. It’s not her fault, she didn’t do it. It’s the boss’s. The kid didn’t lie. They did. The Stipes can access records of who rode track work. I’d suggest that they do.
Colin McDowell is a trot man who is a Tiger through and through. Now that he has delivered Benji by first class courier back to Balmain he’s decided to take a new approach to naming his yearlings. Next year’s crop are going to be named after the club greats they say. Sirro, Benny, Gee-Jack, Ellery, […]
I doubt most normal people tuned into Sky Channel 2 this afternoon to watch the barrier draw for the Black’s a Fake take place out at the Meadowbrook Golf Club, about a 100km from the Albion Park track, but I was banged up in bed with COVID and bored witless so I did. Trot Steward […]

It was a great night of harness racing at Albion Park on Saturday night, an absolute cracker. What a shame that the idiots who run the club had to go and spoil it. No-one other than us cares about the trots anymore. We’re just a cult these days, which is why we have to protect […]

For those of us old enough to remember when breaking the two minute mile was an achievement, it’s hard to believe that today a pacer in America named Bulldog Hanover – driven by Kiwi superstar Dexter Dunn – smashed the world record by running 1.45.4 for the mile at the Meadowlands. In the past 4 […]
The hot word from the track at Albion Park last night is that Queensland has a very high profile new trainer moving up here permanently, an Inter Dominion winner no less. Jason Grimson is his name. Apparently Jill has fallen in love, hard, and if knew you knew who the young lady was you couldn’t […]
See that horse being held by a barrier attendant as they jumped? It’s the odds on favourite Larrikin Rogue. Look what happens to it. If you backed the fave you are buggered aren’t you? No you’re not. It might be a pretty fair horse this one. I’m not so sure about the barrier attendant.
Here is a hypothetical situation for you. A person – lets call them Shirley – is the CEO of a company that sells turtles at auction.
