The Activists Roll Out to ‘Bool in Force – All Ten of Them
Is that a big bad sail sticking up there? Matches the message I guess. There are 10 000 people inside the gates of Warrnambool having a ball of a time on the fang, punt and piss.

Using a Sledgehammer to Crack a Nut – The NZ Stewards Need to Concentrate on the Cheats – Not the Amateurs Who Make Amateur Mistakes
New Zealand harness racing is quite distinct from that in Australia, in that the Kiwis put on races restricted to amateur drivers at TAB meetings, whereas over the ditch the amateurs are confined to driving in non-TAB races at the carnivals and shows, which given their skill levels – and with no knock to any […]

This is the leaderboard after the first 2 days of the ‘Bool carnival. Ciaron Maher is, as expected, on top with 4 wins. Ooh ah has won 3 of the 6 jumps races and both features, the Brierley and the Galleywood, with the Grand Annual still to come. Team Hayes don’t do much in the […]
