We have been telling Kiwi trainers for over a year now that the fire sale of the Pukekohe Training Centre by the Auackland Trotting Club is going to leave them without a track on which to train there horses because there won’t be enough money left over to buy land and build another one after […]

Sort of anyway. We might be a little slow on the trigger for a few more days. It hurts to think too hard at the moment. She’ll be right though. We ain’t dead yet. Stop laughing you buggers. One day it might happen to you too. God forbid that. All I can say is poor […]

Anything he would have written wouldn’t have made sense anyway due to the heavy duty nature of the drugs the doct0r gave him. We hope that he can write again today or tonight, if I can get […]
Today we have the appearances of the final 2 players in the brutal 4 ring circus that fought/assaulted/got bashed in the Creek Bar at Albion Park on Black’s a Fake night. Jack ‘Turbo’ Trainor is on at 9.30am. We haven’t quite seen what his role in the stink was on the videos played at the […]

RWAA earns circa $540 million and gives back just $203 million to the codes that earn it for them. The marked difference is in […]
We wrote earlier about the dearth of Free For All class pacers in the North Island of New Zealand, and how it is indicative of a real problem within the sport. The problems seem to be here in the deep south of the South Island too, places like Invercargill where this Friday’s 8 race program […]
