No, It’s Not OJ – But He is the Juice
For some strange reason South Australian harness racing fans have bestowed trainer/driver Luke O’Neill with the nickname The Juice. It’s unfortunate, because all juices are made from pressed fruit, and life didn’t turn out real good for the last chap who bore the moniker. Anyone can see why they called OJ Simpson the juice, but […]
The Scandal – The Race and the Ride – Why You Never Trust a German
This is race that is the immediate focus of attention of the Stewards investigating racing corruption. The horse that blew from $3.70 to $6.oo is Blistering, in the orange and white stripes, ridden by Lewis German. He is a crook, a thief, a cheat and a bum.

Puh-Lease
Since when was Kementari ever a cult hero? Who except the Sheik and James Cummings ever loved him? Um, no-one. The truth is that this horse was a money sucking beaver who loved nothing more than costing punters money by finding new ways to get beat. Kementari had a great 3YO season five years ago […]
All of a Sudden the Gloucester Park Sale Smells Like Rotten Carp – What the Hell Has Gone on Here?
We were never told the valuation of the 5.9 hectares of Gloucester Park that the club sold for $10 million paid over 5 years and a new stand. It seems now that there was a reason for that, and not one that tastes good at all. Last month the WA Government announced plans to sell […]
