The first thing viewers see is the mobile rolling up […]
Tasmanian reinsman Christian Salter has been disqualified for 18 months for what can only be described as being an absolute bloody idiot. Harness racing drivers in Australia are required to wear a HRA approved safety vest that is in good working order whilst in the cart and on the track. For nine months between Nov […]
Sam Thornley, the driver of the horse that galloped here after being crossed for the death by the John Dunn driven runner, told Stewards after the race that the break was due to his horse cross-firing.
