    A mid year article by Adam Hamilton

    https://www.harness.org.au/media-roo...?news_id=53491

    “I think you’ve got to have your horse happy and you’ve to know how to do that,” he said.

    “I work every horse myself … I do every fast work on them.

    “I’ve just got that sense where I can feel if a horse feels really good. It’s just the little things they do.

    “Take Majestic Cruiser for one. He’ll always have his eyeballs popping out of his head and his ears forward wanting you to brush him. That’s when you know he’s right.”

    Grimson talks about his horses, especially those he’s closest too, more like friends than horses.

    “Majestic Cruiser keeps getting better and better all the time. He wants to try for you now, if you know what I mean,” he said.

    “He’s definitely my favourite. I’ve become quite attracted to him.”


    “I’ve got about 25-30 in work now, but, if anything, I’ll cut my numbers down,” he said. “When you’re as hand-on as me, keeping your numbers down is crucial. “I want to keep my numbers small and target the big races.”

    The article finishes with quite a bit on Fire Fox who is in today's Cobram Cup. It is another distance event for him even though Grimson says he is not a stayer

    More than one - Stewart/Tonkin and Stanley for openers. The harness side of Ballarat and one day, as was the case with some old Melton stables, the prime land will one day make them bigger millionaires

    The reason I say this is that the last half was run in about 59 secs - when Code Bailey set the record 3yrs ago, they came home in 55

    Although the finish was slow, I knew the Lead Time was faster but I did not realize just how fast until Toohard let me know it was 1.52 pace for the first 1,041m

    There was no QIP for Sicario's performance in the Cup
    Tonight at Geelong Our Art Christian also first up for a new stable (actually back to his old stable) coming off almost identical form and odds as that of Sicario and starting the same odds - gets a QIP
