Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Do you see what this Integrity notice issued on Tuesday by the Harness Racing NSW Stewards says? Nathan Turnbull has returned a positive swab to Salicylic Acid at above the threshold of 6.5 micrograms per millilitre in plasma. Salicylic Acid is the non-steroidal pain killer, anti-inflammatory, and blood thinner Aspirin. Plasma is blood. There is […]
Knight Walker is the pacer that trainer Michael Muscat is alleged to have tubed with a milkshake, the one that returned the positive swab that has seen him stood down. If Muscat has done it, then the two questions you would have to ask are why, and how bloody bad is this horse? The other […]
I was talking to mate over email tonight and the subject of Shane Loone came up. For those not familiar with the name or the sport, Loone is a lifelong cheat who is afflicted by a rapacious form of cancer, and is unlikely to see ID25. It hasn’t slowed him down though, for over the […]
We waited a week for HRNSW to say something before we told you what we knew about Michael Muscat’s positive swab, but there was a wall of silence, so a couple of days ago we gave up and ran the story. The very next day Harness Racing NSW announced what we’d known since Xmas, and […]
Watch the horse in the yellow. This is ugly. Ouch. What the hell happened? I’m buggered if I know. This below is what the Stewards said. Bloody hell. I hope they did a HIA. VIVID– Fractious in the early stages of the score up, a warning was issued. Raced roughly near the 1100 meters and […]

This matter involves a harness racing licensee, but is not directly harness racing related. As I say, not directly. It doesn’t mean that it isn’t though. I know what the subject matter is, which is the exact reason that I won’t be detailing it. One thing I will say is that this man should be […]
Why not? We’ve got them anyway, so we might as well just employ some who’d prefer to be paid in peanuts. What am I talking about? Are you a bit slow or something? Race two at Albion Park on Saturday night of course. Shane Graham – the bloke who escaped jail on criminal match fixing charges […]
I hope I break even today. I need the money. Punter at Aquaduct racecourse, name unknown All of life is 6/5 against Damon Runyon Always back the horse named self-interest. It’s the only one trying. Jack Lang, former NSW Premier This is really a lovely horse, I once rode her mother Former UK jockey Ted […]
Hello sailor. What long arms you’ve got. Just for a joke and because in a strange way I like him, I rang Mario Borg this morning intending to seek a comment about the rock n’ roll Aunty Gaita rort at Globe Derby last night, knowing full well that I wouldn’t get one, or not the […]
