Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
One of Sydney’s largest hospitals St Vincent’s stuffs up and sends 400 people the wrong COVID test results in the days before Christmas. It is simple human error, and it appears there were no checking mechanisms. The hospital tells them that their result is negative, and that they do not have the virus. But they […]
We told you a couple of days ago about Laura Cheshire’s long awaited return to the saddle at Ballina today after more and a year and a half on the sidelines due to injury. Well good things come to those who wait, and real good things happen to those who are good. Guess what Santa […]
Yes Ladies and Gentleman, the big event of the year is upon us. No, not New Year’s Eve. That’s small beer in the big picture. What we are talking about here is huge. Massive. Ginormous as my 4-year-old would say. It’s the day that voting for the All Star Mile field opens. The 24th of […]
Meatloaf said that two out of three ain’t bad. He was wrong. Three out of four ain’t. That’s how many Dan Patch Awards the racing progeny of Always B Miki won in the first round of the awards handed out last week. Miki’s sons and daughters won both 2YO categories, and the 3YO male award […]

Further, in discussing another individual’s potent PED, Navarro casually related that a particular pain medicine offered for sale to Navarro was so powerful, “the guy [offering Navarro the drug] says he has killed about four horses already. . . . He is saying the horses can’t take it, and die.” In another such call, on […]
Two days before Santa came, the Chairman of Harness Racing New Zealand Mr John Coulam issued a Christmas address to the people of harness racing. In it, Mr Coulam spoke of a change to his Board of Directors. This is what he said. Having been elected in 2017 and subsequently becoming the ATC representative on […]
This weird incident involving a horse getting it’s leg stuck in the cart of a galloper in front of it happened at Alexandra Park in May. I stumbled across it tonight while researching a piece about something else. There are two interesting stories that came out of the race. One is that the galloping horse […]
Kenny Rogers is a thrice disqualified drug addicted driver, who is presently serving yet another stint for driving while high on Ice. Belinda McCarthy is a NSW trainer who was disqualified after her horse threw a positive swab to Boldenone, a banned steroid. Amy Steenhuis is closely related to Zac Steenhuis, a trot trainer who […]
