Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The most striking feature of last night’s VICBRED Super Series wasn’t the fact that Emma Stewart won 5 of the 8 finals that her stable runners contested, or that she finished 1st 2nd and 3rd in two of them. Sadly for the sport at large, that’s become normal. It wasn’t that her trotter Susan Is […]

There is not a huge amount of difference between the case of former RIB swabbing steward Nicole Lloyd and that of Jason Grimson, other than the inherent conflict of interest in RIB members who once may have worked with Lloyd hearing and determining the matter.

Jamie Kah has had a Barry Crocker this weekend. Her mount Shaiyhar in Race 2 was the Slaughter of the day for mine. Kah’s decision to push forward on the favourite was the fatal error with the speed on and the breeze hitting him in the face. The horse was going up in distance and […]
Darrel Graham is a very good harness racing trainer. He has won more races than most punters have had hot dinners, with some pretty good ones among them too including the Triads, Derbies and the Chariots of Fire. So you can see that the Dazzler is no slouch when it cones to teaching a pacer […]
