There is no better illustration of the problems plaguing north island New Zealand harness racing than the near farcical programs scheduled at Cambridge and Alexandra Park tonight and tomorrow night. Cambridge has managed to draw enough entrants for just five races, none with more than 9 starters, and not one rated higher than NR47. https://infohorse.hrnz.co.nz/datahrs/fields/101502fd.htm […]

Although our story was published in […]
Prominent South Australian owner Gary Crocker, who owns his horses under the Walk Proud banner, and names them eponymously, looks to have a smart one in the shape of Spook Crocker, a 4yo gelding who won impressively yesterday at Mt Gambier in very smart time. Crocker looks to have an even smarter one in the […]
The world was once a featureless place. None of the places we know existed until creator beings, in the forms of people, plants and animals, travelled widely across the land. Then, in a process of creation and destruction, they formed the landscape as we know it today. Aṉangu land is still inhabited by the spirits […]
Story by CNN In the weird and wonderful history of horse racing, Frank Hayes holds a unique place. On June 4, 1923 at New York’s Belmont Park, the 22-year-old (or 35, according to some newspaper reports at the time) won the only race of his career on the horse Sweet Kiss. He also became the […]
Mount Isa trainer Jay Morris is in the enviable position of having two of the best bush sprinters in Queensland in his stable, Revolt and Great Cosmic. Revolt has won 10 of its 12 starts under Morris’s care, with its only defeats for him coming when he travelled to Brisbane for the Battle of the […]
