Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
No this is not a story about male to male oral sex in the toilet stalls at Clifford Park, as much as you might draw that inference from a security guard at the Toowoomba racing awards last night finding two blokes in the dunny with one bent over and a finger up his cavity. What […]
The members at Caulfield are up in arms about the relocation of the mounting yard, and are calling for a spill of the board over the issue. How ridiculous. Who other than the ego stroking owners keen to be filmed or photographed with their expensive thoroughbred buys, or the track touts that claim to be […]

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.
Chief I had a listen to the CEO and HRV Chairman on the radio this morning with Gareth Hall. It was an interesting listen. This is purely my observation of what needs to happen and whilst I’m no rocket scientist, I have a reasonable handle on things. So I offer this as some information that […]
New amendments to the local rules of greyhound racing introduced yesterday by Racing Queensland have made owning a dishlicker a whole lot more difficult than it was the day before. The new rules place a strict onus on owners to rehome their greyhound, or to cause the greyhound to be rehomed to an appropriate home, […]
Jockey Adin Thompson weighed out for race 4 at Ipswich on Tuesday without his girth. He did so because he was heavier than his horse’s handicap and he knew it, so he wanted to cheat the Clerk of the Scales in order that he could both keep the mount and avoid a fine for not […]
