Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Lord Bazalup was, until 5 days ago, quite possibly Australia’s slowest pacer. In 67 starts he’d won just twice, that sterling victory coming in January last year at Devonport while trained by Ben Yole, in a race where he fell in off the pole draw to win in an incredibly ordinary time of 2.02.8. Slow […]
It’s been a wait of a couple of months due to COVID restrictions, but yesterday Australia’s much-loved pioneering female jockey Pam O’Neill rode in to Government House accompanied by her kids Gav and Cherie and granddaughter Cherie to be bestowed with her Order of Australia medal by Queensland’s Governor Mrs J. Young. We’re all as […]
The word around town is that champion New Zealand driver Dexter Dunn, the more talented brother of Lurch, has tied the knot in the US with his long-time partner Jillian Morris. Congratulations to the happy couple. Long may their wedded bliss last!
Following a meeting between the CEO and the kind, hard-working Mrs Clements, the issue regarding the provision of refreshments in the drivers room at the Wagga trots has been resolved.

It’s an interesting and exciting night of harness racing at Addington, albeit made stupid by the fact that there is no corresponding meeting in the north island. No matter what they might and do say, the people in charge of HRNZ dead set do not have a clue when it comes to the relationship between […]

Encipher beat Amore Vita in the Breeders Crown. Amore Vita beat her in the Vicbred […]
Hello Sailor. He reminds you a bit of Rock Hudson this bloke doesn’t he? Brae Sokolski imagines himself to be the smartest man in racing, and given his incredible record of success since emerging out of nowhere six years ago to become the most successful owner in Australia, you can understand why. The thing is […]
The poor old Shoemaker has hit the wall since his great big ratings selected win on the one out multi and quaddie at Albany in West Australia on a Sunday afternoon a fortnight ago.
