Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Archie A very strange and disquieting scratching occured in Race 10 at Waikato Bay Of Plenty Harness Racing Club at Cambridge on Thursday night. Stewards ordered the late scratching of Boss Kenny after he proved to be uncontrollable in the preliminary. With all due respect to Nieta Balle (daughter of well known and respected trainer […]
Harness Racing South Australia last year declared it Southern Stars yearling sale an outstanding success, and has done so again this year, but at the risk of the peak body’s CEO Dean Elliott calling this author a fabricator again and declaring shame upon us we have to ask the question: has the sale been any […]
Auckland Trotting Club Member’s Newsletter April 2o24 The Auckland Trotting Club has sold its superb training facility at Pukekohe – its one and only, the place where all its trials are held – to a Chinese land developer for little more than the amount required to pay the ever rising but rarely talked about anymore […]

The connections of Ocean Zar advised the Stewards – and thus the world – that their horse would be ridden forward in the 7th race at Eagle Farm yesterday if circumstances permitted. Circumstances did. Ocean Zar bounced out moderately and was wide. If Ceejay Graham had elected to she could have hunted it around the […]
It seems that Brett Wright – the Chairman of Stewards who made the outrageously incorrect protest upheld call at Beaudesert last week – has been absent from officiating duties at any race meeting on Saturday.
