Against the Stewart/Tonkin runners in the Melton Plate tonight unless Fides can continue his upward spiral. I am not sure about the Hurricane off the second line however http://www.harness.org.au/racing/fields/race-fields/?mc=MX210320#MXM21032006

The field is out http://www.harness.org.au/racing/fields/race-fields/?mc=NR210220&s=BALRAJ%2520NZ&f=1#NRC21022008 Have the handicappers been 'ageist' when it comes to Don Boston 4 wins in a row including 1.49.8 at Menangle, has a 93 rating...

Can drivers have a gear change? Someone needs to put a handbrake on Todd McCarthy. Lucky to get away with the 26.5 3rd quarter Majordan last night and just a horrid drive on Soho Gloria Jane

I can see why they would choose this particular Saturday as a point of difference from Menangle's card - whom they were not going to be able to compete with, with a pacing card I don't get many opportunities to get to Melton but I wouldn't go for...

I don't normally find myself stranded - no Foxtel (why doesn't Foxtel Go show Sky?!) So I have watched R1 Menangle on Sky Active on my phone - bloody terrible - like I had a stocking over the screen Is there a better alternative ? Now I see why...

You can't make this stuff up. Pettiness on a grand scale. WTF, six minutes. To rub it in, Luke McCarthy gets pinged $500 for late arrival of the horses. Just pathetic. By this from the Allstars website, Mark Purdon not impressed. Don't blame him...

Apologies to the sponsor (a good one) but I just can't bring myself to call any race The Cordina Chickens Stewart stable draws well (I reckon they are lucky at that) in 2 & 3 Balraj 12 ...

I think that https://www.hrnsw.com.au/ must have changed recently as I am sure I looked at it in the last few days Anyway, I just went to the website to look at something and there were a lot of blanks I thought it was 'down' but then I...

The SA Derby is the first of them at 7.24 AEDST and probably the best chance for the locals to keep some of the big prizemoney along with Emain Macha in the Pacing Cup http://www.harness.org.au/racing/fields/race-fields/?mc=GD080220 While in...

Cream Ridge, NJ - 2/05/2020 - It’s a matter of a few days before more than 100 horses, now in Shippensburg, Pa., meet their horrific end at a Canadian slaughterhouse. Nothing short of a complete overhaul of racing, and maybe an act of Congress is...

I was looking at the nominations for the Tontine at Stawell on Monday and noticed that at the top of the rankings 3yo Silent Major only had a NR of 55 while the Race is classed as 56-71 Surely he does not get a start before all the 56-71...

The draws are out and here they are with commentary https://www.thetrots.com.au/news/articles/all-line-up-for-butts-derby-chance-at-draw/ https://www.thetrots.com.au/news/articles/stylish-memphiss-horror-oaks-draw-opens-door/

So what do people think of this initiative ? Personally I think Skyracing is putting pressure on harness racing to shorten the races and make them more like the dogs. Next it will be coloured numbers and drivers like the dogs. They are pushing...

So it is now for 3yo's & 4yo's I do worry about 2yo's being pushed too hard too early but strangely, I don't know how I feel about this (Old Fuddy Duddy syndrome?) https://www.thetrots.com.au/news/articles/breeders-crown-moves-to-november/ ...

Our Katie (KTQ) might have to add Culpeka to the horses listed on her profile (and change her location) for after 18mths off after campaigning with the best of them in NZ (including a Gp1 2nd to Spankem as a 2yo) he is fully recovered and has won...
