Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
PBD/Sex means preferential draw based on gender, not how many times you get it away At a time when a storm is raging in world sport about whether gender neutral and trans athletes should be allowed to compete in the male or female sporting category of their choice, Harness Racing NSW has elected to do […]
How good a rider is this Angela Jones kid? The Wiz. She is only 20 years old, has been riding for less than 2 years, has had only 448 rides, and already she has ridden a hundred winners. That’s freakish for an apprentice. What’s even more remarkable is that the Wiz kicks them home first […]

A few more lines about Jim Chisholm whose daughter Nancy married Frank Donohoe. Jim was a butcher on the south coast of NSW. In those days most horsemen also chose butchering as their […]
Two years after a colt by Captain Treacherous out of Ravishing Girl was purportedly sold to a buyer named A. Portelli for $80 000 as a yearling at the 2020 APG Sydney sale, the now 3Y0 remains in the ownership of Australian Pacing Gold. Given that the company is a registered not for profit organisation, […]
I am joking. I think. Suspensions in NSW don’t really happen, they are just fictions on paper. Robbie Morris copped 28 days in the first round of ID21 late last year, and hasn’t served a second of it. Jack Trainor was given 21 days a fortnight ago, and he is still driving. Aaron Dunn will […]
