Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The bigger they are, the s0fter they fall argument was not of course the only determining factor in Emma Stewart being granted a stay, or indeed the major one. That one was gifted to Stewart’s legal team as a free kick from the other side, that side being the HRV Stewards. You see despite us […]
So Emma Stewart – Victoria’s leading trainer for almost the entire past decade – claims that she wasn’t aware of the one clear day administration rule. The same rule that has been in place for the entirety of her premiership winning reign. Really? Really? Oh yeah Emma, pull the other one, it plays jingle bells. […]
Take a look at this field in a maiden at Traralgon earlier in the week. Every single runner in the race is a 1st starter, and they are all trained by Robert Camilleri. Most of them are legless, although until they jumped no-one knew that except the trainer and his punter mates. They are clever, […]
Recently retired Japanese superstar will stand for the highest first year service fee in Japanese history, a massive $212 500 AU a shot. It’s enormous money, but the horse was an absolute superstar, and is bred in the purple being by super sire Kitisan Black out of a King Halo (son of Dancing Brave) mare, […]
Ben Yole’s best mate the Tasmanian greyhound trainer Anthony Bullock – who was recently disqualified for life after live baiting after the tail of a pademelon (a small possum sized kangaroo) was found on a lure at his property – has appealed his DQ, claiming that deceitful animal activists had ‘planted’ the tail.

After all, it’s widely known that PVL is a pragmatist who […]
Breaking news out of Victoria is that the star Emma Stewart pacer Amore Vita has died in trackwork this morning. The cause of 4yo mare’s death is at present unknown . At her last start a month ago Amore Vita finished 3rd in the Group 1 Queen of the Pacific at Melton, and is not […]
There is a vicious rumour sweeping the South East Queensland trot tracks that a prominent, but hitherto rarely successful, Queensland harness racing trainer was caught red handed race day treating one of their runners prior to the 1st round of the ID 23 heats. The horse was allowed to run on the night after the […]
Archie Had a great night at the second round of heats last night….. good crowd…. maybe 400 or so including the “marquee” part. Have to say I find it so unpleasant seeing the former CEO (SS) plonked large as life in front of the tote area with his mate Fowler. It is a really bad […]
Chris Barsby has built a reputation over the years as the most precise harness race caller in Australia. Barsby almost always it right in super tight finishes 99 out of 100 times, picking the correct result in split cigarette paper photos almost every time. But as we pointed out a while back, somehow the precise […]
