Tony Brassel: My journey to Racenet

Tony Brassel is trapped in a big computer game. He is talking about horse racing. It's a live simulation of almost any computer games on the planet. You can ride a real horse, you can mate a horse and you even pat a racehorse. The difference is that the game is based on form, vision and betting data.

Tony Brassel will deliver his first set of exclusive selections to Racenet readers on Friday.

Phar Lap relation Kote is ready to shine in Hawkesbury Guineas

Phar Lap once raced at Hawkesbury - and was beaten in a maiden. It was a two-year-old race over about 1000m and Phar Lap ran only seventh. The winner was a filly called Sheila. The bookies bet 10/1 about Phar Lap and I doubt anyone left the provincial racetrack that day in March 1929 believing the ungainly chestnut gelding would develop into one of…

Horses are born to run and when they do, they're beautiful to watch. Thundering across a plain, mane and tail streaming, hardly seeming to touch the ground: it's a sight that has enthralled humans for thousands of years. Nervous wariness was their nature and speed their protection from predation. It was for their strength and speed that we became…
