Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Two horses on the front row locked wheels in the score up to the start of race 2 at Globe Derby last night. They came back and checked Aces Daughter, the horse drawn behind them on the back row. The interference caused that horse to gallop, and miss the start by miles. Caller Jim Jacques […]
Where is the Head on Replay of the Interference in the ID21 Final? Why haven’t HRNSW published the head on footage of the action in the home straight in the ID pacers final? The protest was the biggest harness racing news of the year, and the most controversial too. Where is the vision? Jason Grice’s […]
Relating to sulkies Rule AHR. 170. (1) (a) A driver shall, throughout the course of a race, drive with both feet in the rests of the sulky, unless he is activating approved gear. (b) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (a) hereof, when activating approved gear by foot, the driver’s foot shall not be moved in a downwards direction […]
You have never seen a more blatant case of foul driving in a big race than David Moran’s. He looked to his right. No-one there. Then he feels a horse to his left. It is Boncel Benjamin. Moran stares at him. Then he grabs the left rein tight and shifts his body weight and steers […]
This particular rule clearly contemplates and provides for alteration to the order of placings beyond the signalling of all clear. It firstly requires findings by the Stewards of a rule violation under Part 9 of the Rules against a driver before the disqualification or relegation powers can be triggered. Raceday protests as a matter of necessity […]
It was the right decision. Or was it? In the Stewards room Josh Gallagher accused David Moran of coming in on him deliberately. That’s an allegation of foul driving, which if true could put Moran out for six months. Jason Grimson doubled, tripled and quadrupled down. He repeatedly accused Moran of doing it on purpose, […]
Josh Gallagher is about win ID21 on protest. Jason Grimson’s done the impossible. Jill has plucked a horse out of a claimer 8 months ago and won the greatest race series in the land. And Gallagher has slayed the giant – he has beaten McCarthy! He outwitted them at the start. Worked out what was […]
You’ve all read the stories about how the nicest guy in harness racing Fred Crews got expelled from the Victorian Harness Racing Club for raising what seemed to be – and are- very reasonable inquiries about how certain people were spending the member’s precious funds. Those certain people didn’t like being asked these questions, for […]
Do you remember us telling you last week that WA driver Shane Young should have been outed for 6 months for his drive on a $1.12 favourite at Wagin named Suing You? Well Suing You had it’s start at Gloucester Park last night. It won. Did I say six months? Make it twelve. https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/wa/GPM10122104.mp4
If you can’t see something with this race the you are blind. It is race 5 at Mackay on Thursday. The $1.35 favourite is Big Jake, ridden by Justin Stanley. Ridden stone cold dead, in the most disgraceful of manners. Stanley took Big Jake straight back to last, and kept it there until it was […]
