Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
It is illegal under various State laws for a bookmaker to offer inducements for members of the public to bet. An inducement includes a matched sign-up bonus deposit. Bookies are allowed to give them, but they are not allowed to offer them as bait to get a new customer to join. The above ad showed […]
Vladimir Putin has emailed this to us and asked if we could print it. In the interest of loving peace not war we have agreed, on the proviso that he throws Summit’s swabs in the bin. Mr Putin says he doesn’t have to, he’s got KGB spies in the Stewards ranks doing it already. A […]
Are these South Australian harness racing Stewards (a) absolute morons; (b) wilfully ignorant; (c) corrupt and in on the joke; or (d) all of the above? Based on the evidence of long observation I have come to the conclusion that they must be one or more of these things, for the poor decisions they make […]
Decron Horse Care is a highly reputable company run by Copy That’s owner Merv Butterworth, a good and honourable man and a great supporter of harness racing.

The reigning Melbourne Cup heroine received more votes than other runner in the $5 million event, to be run at Flemington on March 19, but Waller said she would run in the Group 1 Ranvet Stakes (2000m) […]
Atlas was a champion Titan stayer who was handicapped to carry the sky in the Zeus War Stakes. Anamoe is at this stage only a top-line three year old sprinter-miler, but he’s been tasked with carrying the sky too. I’m talking about the weight that the NSW handicapper has given the James Cummings trained colt’s […]
Now I have to confess that I went to primary school in the lower working class borough of Geebung, which means like other kids from the mean streets school I learned at an early age to fight and run and punt and play footy and drink and smoke and stand up to bullies and give […]
For some reason the cynical South Australian stewards believe that Super Mario (Borg) may not have wanted to cross his Aunty Gaita (Pullicino) and go to the lead in this race, even though he had so much of a jump on her horse that he could have steered a road train in, and backed it […]
