Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
There was a protest 2nd v 1st in race 5 at Doomben yesterday. The 2nd horse was on the outside in the blue, red cap and white sleeves. It’s rider Dale Smith protested against the winner ridden by Kyle Wilson-Taylor, who is in the middle in the white with red hooped sleeves and white cap, […]
The news that Bernard Saundry is about to become the Chairman of Harness Racing Victoria comes as no surprise to readers of this website, for we told you it would happen 8 months ago. We might have shot our load early, but our aim was spot on target. Is Saundry the right man to fix […]
It seems that Bernard Saundry will be joining the board of the bedraggled HRV, possibly as Chairman with Dale Monteith said to be ending his six-year reign in the role next month and leaving no logical successor. If he does become the Chair it will be an amazing comeback by Saundry, who was CEO of […]

Reports are that the Toowoomba three-year-old Pope Cody has been sold to Hong Kong for a substantial six-figure sum. We say the HK buyers must be crazy. Pope Cody has smashed them at its past two starts at Eagle Farm in a 3yo Open and at Toowoomba in the Guineas, but both of those wins, […]
The Idiot of the Week award goes to NSW greyhound trainer Jason O’Malley. O’Malley was called in by the GWIC to answer a charge that he had made a false statement to Stewards about not having a criminal record. Any person with half a brain would have known that the stipes wouldn’t have charged them […]
Our recent claim that Merlin can beat Leap To Fame in the NZ Cup has been roundly poo-pooed by trot fans on both side of the Tasman, all of whom believe that Larry is an unbeatable certainty. They’re probably the same mob who declared India certainties to win the World Cup cricket, and we all […]
