Simple pictures are the easiest to understand, so let me paint one for you. In 2011 the Auckland Trotting Club’s financial position was: PROFIT – $1.5 million ASSETS – $44.2 million DEBT – Nil Ten years late in 2021 it (supposedly) looks like this: LOSS – $28.2 million ASSETS – $381.4 million (if you believe […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/vic/MXM14052203.mp4 Just have a look at this will you. Start the video from the 600 mark. It’s the horse on the leader’s back (Kerryn Manning), and the one behind her (Emmett Brosnan) that you need to watch. Look at what Brosnan’s horse is doing to her. What the hell? Why didn’t he grab the reins […]
On The Bit Racing are supporters of a trainer who allegedly commits crimes against women. One of the company’s sponsors supports the trainer too. Another of its sponsor bites people’s ear off. I guess none of this is any real surprise. After all, one of On The Bit’s owners is man partial to bashing innocents […]
The picture at the top that you see was taken at the Mareeba races on the weekend. I didn’t take it, but I was there. It’s my local track, 25 minutes down the road. This man leading the horse in the picture is David Reynolds, the trainer who is facing multiple criminal charges relating to […]

Gee this Kiwi trainer Craig Ferguson’s form has improved a bit hasn’t it? It’s not just because he fluked a top horse either. His 7 wins have been achieved with 6 different ponies. So what is the secret to this man’s sudden success, and his Emma Stewart like strike rate? You’d have to have ask […]
At it’s first start three weeks ago – 3 weeks? Not again! – at Invercargill the Kiwi pacer Bettorthanarocket led in slow time, folded up like an umbrella before the turn, and got beaten 17.3 lengths.
