Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Remember we told you about Tasmanian stewards being stood down? You always hear it here first. Just to prove it, the three Stewards in the ABC story below are Michael Castillo (gallops), Roger Brown (trots), and Robert Simpson (tri-code). We warned you a long time ago that integrity was being compromised by problems with Stewards […]
AHRR.66(e) A horse may be disqualified from a race or placed in a lower finishing position in a race if a horse races on the inside of a marker post or if its sulky or part thereof goes on the inside of a marker post How many engineers does it take to change a lightbulb? […]
Looking further into the beaten run of $1.33 favorite Major Hot on Saturday night I was startled but unsurprised to see that the horse is owned by prominent harness racing and wagering identity Sam Treccase. I knew that name. Treccase hit the news in QLD about a decade ago, when he and his brother Robert […]

Central QLD horse trainer Jessica Kuhn hit a horse seven times in the back of the legs with a hard metal object to try and force it to get into a pool. Kuhn cracked it 33 times with a plastic hose too. That’s what most right-thinking people would call animal cruelty. The average reasonable person […]
Amateur Kiwi driver Cheree Wigg has been suspended for four months for causing a fall. Her own. That’s tough luck isn’t it. Or not. Wigg almost caused the horse outside her to fall too. She has done it before. Amateur drivers only drive once a fortnight, so Wigg has actually only been outed for 8 […]
