Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Daniel Jack has always been a brilliant harness racing driver. You don’t win three Group 1’s by being a bum. Jack D is also a man with a deep love of the sport, and knowledge about its history. I know this, because I have spent many hours in his company discussing all sorts of things […]

Hi Archie Have a look the drive of Jason Lee on the 1.75 fav Keayang Kurki in race 8 at Melton last night. Lee hands up to his cousin Glen Craven on the stablemate No Money No Honey at a stage in the race when no-one would. Craven then walks them in front on No […]
I vividly recall having a debate/argument with the Naked Tipster (now retired) Dr Georgia Whiting about the merits of Cruiserweight’s 3rd start win at Caulfield a couple of weeks ago. I declared that Cruiserweight was a real good horse, who would go on to group glory. The Hayes camp shortly after backed it up by […]
23 acceptors were scratched from Saturday’s Julia Creek meeting because there was no jockey there to ride them. There were only 51 runners set to be on the card. Which means that almost half of them were scratched. That’s ridiculous of an in itself. But here is the real crazy bit. The Stewards allowed Tanya […]
Kyle Wilson-Taylor made a hit and run mission to Morphettville on Saturday on his way to New Zealand, and gave the locals a demonstration about why jockeys in QLD no longer like riding against him because of his oft disrespect for the rules and for their safety. Watch KWT nearly put rival rider Ben Price […]
The Cowboys were brilliant in beating the Broncos tonight and ending any hope they had of making the finals, but the Brisbane team were the architects of their own demise. Reece Walsh is a sensation, but he makes too many bad decisions to lead a side as playmaker. His election to grubber kick on the […]

Financial Crisis 1? A leading Group 1 winning harness racing partnership and major standardbred syndicator is said to be suffering all sorts of money problems. So much so that the rumor is that an administrator has been called in. The mail follows months of speculation that the partnership has been very slow to pay its […]
We have written before about the Chad Schofield case, so we won’t bore you with the details. Guts of it is that due to a freak rainstorm, the Stewards had to make a decision on the effective start date of a suspension that Schofield had earlier incurred, and they made the wrong one. The QLD […]
