The Most Justified Disqualification Ever
The winner of race 6 at Mildura last night came up the rail to win. It didn’t hold onto the victory for long. Stewards disqualified the horse. Gee I don’t know why. Do you? Ha ha ha.
Where is the Love?
It seems that the racehorse Sydney Bowler needs a new part-owner. One of the current ones had just been disqualified, so he is not allowed to own his share anymore. Which is probably a good thing because the owner – a certain Mr. Jason Love – received his 4 month disqualification (reduced to 3 if […]
Would You Leave a Legendary Australian Horse of the Year Out in a Manky Paddock to Nearly Die Without Water? – Darren Ebert Did
Lombo Pocket Watch was one of the greatest juvenile pacers that Australia has ever seen. This horse won 18 races in a row as a 2-year-old, including five Group 1’s, and became the first of his age ever to win the Australian Horse of the Year. Being a rare grey in color, he was also […]
The Boat That You Row, When You’re In The Know
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/qld/APC21102504.mp4 Lulu Mae was backed from $9.00 into $3.80 to win race 7 at Albion Park yesterday. That was bit odd because she was a rating 64 mare racing against males rated up to 75. Money talks though. Win Lulu did. 1.51.4 she went. Which is a bit weird. The fastest time that Lulu had […]
David Pocock Exposes Ultra Bet For the Scumbag Bookie That They Are
Now we don’t at all agree with most of David Pocock’s virulently anti-gambling stance, but in the case he is talking about in the video below we absolutely do. A punter with a gambling problem self-excludes from Ultra Bet. So what does Ultra Bet do? They send him an email urging him to come back […]
Bet You Can’t Do This
See that woman in the video? That’s WNBA star Kelsey Plum. Her husband is sitting up in the bleachers near the back of the stand. Plum decides to throw him up a beer. And lands the can straight in his paws. Bet you couldn’t do this if you had 1000 tries. What a legend. Do […]
William Haggas Gets Stuck into Oisin Murphy’s “Professional Fouls”
Oisin Murphy is a brilliant rider, a real star in the saddle, as most Australians who witnessed him ride out here as an apprentice will attest. Murphy is also a supreme competitor who works by the “Do whatever it takes” to win philosophy made famous by former Labor Senator Graham Richardson. Leading UK trainer William […]
No Kids Allowed in the Stables QRIC Say, But is Anyone Listening? – Part 2: Decree? What Decree?
Less than three months ago the QRIC issued a bulletin to all harness racing participants advising them that under no circumstances were children to enter the restricted areas of a racetrack, including the birdcage area and tie-up stalls. This below is what the Stewards said, and it makes perfect sense too, both from a health […]
No Kids Allowed in the Stables QRIC Say, But is Anyone Listening? – Part 1: The Decree
Harness Racing Restricted Zones Off-Limits to Underage Person Recent observations at harness racing meetings have raised serious concerns regarding underage and unlicensed persons being present in restricted areas such as tie-up stalls. Restricted areas are off-limits for valid reasons. In simple terms, it is unsafe for individuals without the proper experience and licensing to be […]
They Don’t Call it Windy Wellington for Nothing
Look at what happened to this poor bugger in New Zealand’s capital city this morning. They don’t call it Windy Wellington for nothing. Up, up and away!
