Dark Horse retired after going amiss again
By Frank Marrion, courtesy of the HarnessXpress Nathan Williamson has been on quite a roll lately and that looks set to continue at Addington over Easter.

Speed v Strength
Wily veteran Speed Star takes on the might of Equalizer in a fascinating race at Geelong tonight. It could be built as the old stager versus the emerging star, or even the lightning beginner versus the powerful finisher. Either way it will be must-watch viewing, and with The Watchdog returning a 25% profit over the past seven days it may well be worth reading his take on the race in today’s Daily Mail. The Watchdog was in terrific form in his regular role as a panellist on SEN Track’s ‘The Lids…

On the surface Sundees Son may look a little vulnerable, racing first up on the back of just one quiet trial and having to…

Jason Portelli trains only two dogs out of his Keilor Park backyard and they’ll do battle in Saturday night’s Shepparton To The Meadows final (525m) at The Meadows. Portelli is hoping it will be a case of ‘easy’ does it when That’s Easy and Nice And Easy gang up on $1.60 TAB favourite Run And Carry in Race 5 at 7.58pm. That’s Easy (Box 1) is the more fancied of Portelli’s pair at $4.80; however, the 29-year-old owner/trainer has a leaning towards Nice And Easy (Box 7) at $9. “Unfortunately,…
