Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
This sad obituary for horse trainer Paul Harris was posted yesterday on the official NZ Racing website. What it neglected to mention is that the poor soul Paul Harris hung himself. Whether his death was related to his ongoing battles with the Racing Integrity Board that sent him broke and ruined him is a matter […]
I am with you Archie, let us not forget!! The article Bruce Clark wrote, clearly about his ‘good’ mate – ‘Weir had an addiction to winning races’ : Waller – this has alarm bells ringing for me. Weir has no right to be given a license back, he was King Of The Castle and he […]
Apparently there was a big blow up at trackwork at Callaghan Park in Rockhampton yesterday morning. Surprisingly it didn’t involve the usual suspects though. Our sources on the ground say that senior steward Tate Hudson had heated words directed at an experienced part-time steward named Don Macklyn. The buzz is that the cause of the […]
What has happened to famed Mareeba gallops trainer Roy Chillemi? The man from the tablelands who trains for major Cairns owner Tom Hedley hasn’t been seen at the track since the 7th of December, and all of the horses that he previously had now seem to be prepared by a little known Atherton trainer called […]
Gday Archie I quote the submissions tendered by Darren Weirs legal representative Ian Hill KC in a recent article you published. Editor’s note- this below Weir’s barrister, Ian Hill KC, said his client had offered to plead guilty nearly three years ago, but prosecutors rejected the offer and instead pursued conspiracy charges against Weir and […]
There were two massive plunges at the trots late this afternoon. Both of them went wrong. The first was in the 1st race at Penrith when the Rex Horne owned Silent Reaction was backed from $26 into $5.50. Those punters who launched the plonk obviously thought the horse would go straight to the lead off […]
Australia’s Top 10 trainers for 2023. Look at who the top 2 are. A picture tells 1000 words. This picture screams 10 000.
Ben Yole trained 45 of the 67 starters on the card at the Burnie trots in Tasmania last night. His father Wayne trained another 4 of them, making it 48 out of 67. If you take out race 5, in which Yole had only 2 runners it makes it , it makes it 43 out […]
Nigel McGrath is a repeat offending horse drug hitter and race cheat. He has never been done for using a jigger on his charges, but it doesn’t really matter in the context of this story. What matters is that McGrath, like Darren Weir, was a trainer who was willing to break any law in the […]
Bruce ‘Snowy’ Clark, the author of the stories about Darren Weir that we dissected yesterday, has fired back with a further Racenet article in his own defence. It’s a good one too, real good indeed. All in one article Clark unleashes his vitriol on Peter V’Landys; Damian Oliver; the News Limited press and its journos; […]
