Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
This is a letter from lawyer Allister Davis to a well-respected businessman and harness racing participant whose young grandson is seriously ill in hospital in New Zealand. The person concerned owned a runner in the ID21 Trotting Championship final, the culmination of a life-long dream, but he due to his beloved grandson’s illness and invasive […]
The best way to fight is on the front foot, as you can see from this photo of the Balmain Boxer down at the beach training one of the Russian Olympic medallists who came over to learn from him, and who he took to the Australian title. I wonder if anyone in Tamworth has ever […]
Oh dear. Tommy, Tommy, Tommy, you’ve done it again. Do you remember our story from earlier this year about Tommy ‘The Boot’ Ison giving one of his drives a good, hard hock up the arse in a race at Tamworth? Just in case you missed it, I wrote this: Dear Mr Tom Ison You had […]

This vile abuse reproduced above was hurled at a long time harness racing owner and participant who six months ago dared to suggest that NZ trainer Cam Jones incredible success and world class strike rates achieved during his first 3 months in the pro ranks may have had more to do with injections of PED’s […]
So yesterday I call this clown of a lawyer Allister ‘Rine’ Davis who is threatening me with defamation action on behalf of his lagger and give up merchant of a client Andrew ‘The Canary’ Fitzgerald. All I was seeking was clarification as to whether Rine had sent me his kids year 4 school assignment by […]
Members at next week’s meeting are sure to remind the ATC board of the fears expressed about the numerous pitfalls of property development at the original special general meeting in November, 2014 when it was announced the club would run the project itself, rather than take a smaller guaranteed profit by paying someone else to build […]
Unknown to its members, Ganellen served every director on the board with legal papers, saying they could be personally liable for acting unreasonably in not trying to work out a solution.
