Chubby, Turbo and the Twist
Chubby Checker the former Turbo trained pacer that has got him into all the trouble hasn’t raced since December last year. The singer that it was named after is still at the age of 82 going strong and belting out tunes at the trots. I guess the original Chubby never got treated with Levamisole. This […]
Kerry Ann Morris Appeal Dismissed – Now Turbo is in a World of Pain
Kerry Ann Morris’s appeal against her 6-month disqualification for presenting her Kiwi import Black Edition to race twice with the prohibited substance Levamisole in its system has been dismissed by the NSW Harness Racing Appeal Panel. We will provide a detailed commentary on the panel’s decision in a later article. What it means upfront though […]
10 Months Home Detention For Convicted Child Sex Offender Kiwi Harness Racing Identity
As widely predicted, the NZ harness racing identity recently convicted of offences against a child has avoided jail, and was today sentenced to a term of 10 months home detention. Standard conditions applying to offenders serving a sentence of home detention in New Zealand include: reporting regularly to community probation restrictions on living and working arrangements […]
When Thinking About Vince Tullio, Remember the Words of Martin Niemoller
Greyhound racing identity Vince Tullio (pictured above) is a man of rather questionale repute, there can be no doubt about that. Over the years he has been embroiled in controversies about the export of dogs to China for the illegal racing trade, the kidnapping of greyhounds from local Chinese connected trainers who hadn’t paid their […]
Court of Appeal judgment upholding Danny Nikolic exclusion order should matter to all of us
In the last week, Rolling Stone magazine has said about Donald Trump that he has become the mother of all pop-culture villains, a globally despised cross of Dominique Strauss-Kahn, Charlie Sheen and Satan. No one wants to be seen as some kind of cartoon villain. Is it any wonder then, that Danny Nikolic has sought to explain his own […]
The Standing Start That Wasn’t
Watch the horse out the back in the yellow colors, the one drawn on the outside of the 2nd row from the start, the mark they call the unruly. This is supposed to be a standing start. For that horse it turned out to be a flyer. Since when were they allowed to run at […]
Judgement Day
The disgraced New Zealand harness racing identity who was recently convicted of a child sex offence and shortly thereafter threw in their license will face the court today for sentencing. Everyone is saying that a deal has been struck to give them home detention rather than a jail sentence. It’s probably right, for the courts […]
Believe This, You’ll Believe Anything – You Should Be a Steward
Pete McMullen claims that he felt Turn It Up only challenged his horse Aardie’s Flash for a short distance after the first turn. McMullen was correct, it did. But what about the heated challenge for the first 200 or 300m when Noddy took on the fastest beginner in QLD and held him out, running a […]
Why Didn’t the NSW Stewards Pre-Race Swab Any of Emma Stewart’s Four Odds on Favorites Last Night at Menangle?
Emma Stewart trained four odds-on favorites at Menangle last night. Extraordinarily not one of them was pre-races swabbed. Admittedly her Oaks winner Very Pretty ($1.09) and Queen Elizabeth II Mile runner-up Ladies in Red ($1.75) had been in the retention barn up to 2 hours before their races, but to imagine that stops a determined […]
