Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Archie HRV does spend 25% of its income on welfare and integrity. Just not on the horses. It’s spent on the dead wood staff in the offices. RWWA traditionally follows and adopts all its policies (all codes) from Vic. WA harness participants should be very afraid…….. And yes RWWA have bungled an industry land asset […]
Second starter Ramp It Up was well backed at long odds in the first at the Sunshine Coast yesterday. It landed the money and the Gough stable bets. They must have had their hearts in their mouths over the final few strides. Just watch what happened. The horse obviously knew the money was on. The […]
I don’t think I have ever in my entire life seen a less impressive performance than the one that HRV Chairman Adam Kilgour gave when trying to justify his board’s failures in an interview on SEN earlier this week. Kilgour – whose day job is as a lobbyist to clients including property developers – looks […]
The picture speaks for itself. Mick Stanley might be the first, but he certainly won’t be the last. God save the Queen, for under HRV’s leadership nothing can save Victorian harness racing.

We have written extensively in recent times about the financial and internal troubles besetting the Queensland based racehorse syndicator KO Thoroughbred Racing. Now it seems that all the hungry chickens have come home to roost. On the weekend KO’s star galloper Maotai did a tendon, and its racing days are over after just one start […]
Dear Valued Owners It is with deep regret that I must announce my decision to step away from direct management of horses and the industry for an indefinite period. Unforeseen and personal circumstances have necessitated this difficult choice, and my primary concern is ensuring that all investors continue to be fully supported and receive the […]
