Gallagher and trainer Jason Grimson look like the future of the sport and if so the trots are in good hands. Chris Roots – Sydney Morning Herald racing writer I would like to think that Chris Roots is a naive babe in the woods, a wet behind the ears yokel who knows about as much […]

Jorge Navarro, S6 20 Cr. 160 (MKV) Dear Judge Vyskocil: Jorge Navarro’s case reflects failings, greed, and corruption at virtually every level of the world of professional […]
OFFENCE CONDUCT Jorge Navarro (“Navarro” or the “defendant”) earned tens of millions of dollars in purse winnings by training and racing thoroughbred horses that Navarro had “doped” using a plethora of adulterated and misbranded performance-enhancing drugs (“PEDs”), including (among others) blood builders, vasodilators, SGF-1000, baking soda “drenches,” “bleeder” pills, and other drugs not approved by […]

Now that’s what we all call a sensible Xmas present isn’t it? This ad appeared in all of Australia’s big newspapers and magazines in December 1936. Merry Christmas Dad. Here’s a gift of lung cancer to celebrate the season.
See that thing shining in the air? No, it’s not a UFO. It’s a thrown shoe in the trotters ID21 final, and it looks like Humble Ladd’s. There is no mention of it in the Stewards comments on the race results. It’s only 2 days later so the official report isn’t up yet, even though […]
