Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
A New Force in QLD Greyhound Racing? Is it true that Australia’s biggest greyhound owner has paid 3 million plus to purchased a dog training property in Queensland not far from the Q? And is the owner really bringing one of New Zealand’s best trainers over to prepare his dogs from the property? Rats in […]
We are saddened to hear of the passing of Susan Branch, a stalwart of harness racing in the Waikato. On behalf of all our readers we pass our deep condolences to Susan’s loved ones, including her son Dave the architect of the wonderfully successful slot races The Race and The Trot, and her husband Murray.

“Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.” – Winston Churchill In a golden age of New Zealand harness racing, when a new breed of Kiwi horses are having huge success on the track, the sport should be standing […]
The Ipswich racecourse has been deluged with rain in the 24 hours up to yesterday, copping a downfall of 55m of water that has rendered the track as of 5.30pm yesterday a Heavy 10. Being built on a flood plain next to a river Ipswich doesn’t drain real fast. Racing QLD knowing this has postponed […]
The Q tracks were supposed to be the safest in the Southern Hemisphere, the panacea to cure all ills in greyhound racing. Sadly they have turned out to be anything but. More dogs are getting hurt and/or dying at the custom designed ‘safe’ circuits than were ever injured at Albion Park or Ipswich or any […]
While the absence of the champion Keayang Zahara and the no-show of any Kiwis takes a slight gloss off this year’s ID26 series in some people’s eyes, for mine it throws the race wide open and makes it an ultra competitive series with all the rest of the top liners other than Jilliby Ballerini heading […]
Sir You’re wrong. Aldebaranstilinski has been flying for years. It’s always been a mad charger and seems to have finally learnt to become a racehorse. I took the Jason Grimson comparison to be a slur against the integrity of Mr. Dawson’s horsehusbandry practices, so to speak. I don’t agree. Lance from Louth —————————————- Editor’s Note […]
We keep telling you that Mitchell Dawson is the second greatest trainer in the world behind Jason Grimson, and last night the man they call the Quiet One proved us right. We told you all about the amazing improvement of the M. Dawson trained trotter Aldebaranstilinski a couple of weeks ago. Mitchell Dawson is the […]
Stephen Massingham and Georgie Holt are the two leading trainers in Far North QLD. That is where the similarity ends. About 1 in every 4 of Holt’s runners gets pre-race swabbed. Only 1 in 20 of Stephen Massingham’s does. Why is that? It doesn’t make sense. The trainers who win the most races should have […]
Strikem is a blood sucking vampire posing as a pacer. One of those horses who just loves getting beating when its priced in the sauce. This former Kiwi cat is weak-hearted non-trier. Since coming over the ditch to QLD a year ago Strikem has been beaten at odds of $1.12, $1.10, $1.75, $1.90 and $1.15. […]
