Harvey Cooper

Harvey has spent thirty years on the form guide. He started in the Sydney metropolitan press room before moving to Melbourne for the spring carnival cycle and never quite leaving. His weekly Saturday metro previews track every Group race across the country and his autumn carnival columns are a quiet fixture for the punters who actually study form. He cares about track ratings, sectional times and stable patterns. He is sceptical of any horse that has not raced on the going. He has covered every Derby Day at Morphettville since the 90s.
