Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
As we have said time and time again, Andrew ‘The Canary’ Fitzgerald is the dodgiest syndicator in New Zealand. Calling him a syndicator is even a stretch, because his Off N Racing outfit is not registered as one and doesn’t comply with either the financial or racing rules and laws, despite purporting to. Complaints about […]
The big racing news in Queensland this morning is the Bundaberg Cup controversy reported on yesterday by the Greyhound Recorder. https://www.thegreyhoundrecorder.com.au/news/controversy-engulfs-75000-bundaberg-cup-final-49997 In brief, a dog named Springview Magic was set to compete in a race late on the card at Bundy on the 13th of March, but weighed in at 100 grams above the limit.

Number 5 – Michael Dee – Snapper (Morphettville race 7) After watching this ride it’s very easy to see why Mickey Dee has been offered a contract in Hong Kong, for his steer here on Snapper was a gem. Dee took him back off the gate and put him to sleep under the cover, then […]
Can you believe this? Ben Yole’s mate the greyhound trainer who hangs horses from trees has for years been training 100 dogs on a property only approved for 16. The Council let him off on certain conditions. One is that he doesn’t cut up Yole’s unwanted horses at his place. I guess they will have […]
It seems I was wrong when I wrote that Anthony Bullock would have to shoot Ben Yole’s unwanted trotters and cut them up with chainsaws at his place now that the Council has banned him from doing it at his kennels at Tamar Valley. I wasn’t aware until today that in late 2020 Bullock had […]

On the […]
So a trot trainer buys a horse from interstate. He does everything right. Lodges a stable return and submits the transfer of ownership paperwork. All sweet you’d think, as he did. But there is a problem at the other end, in that the seller has not completed his paperwork properly. It’s not deliberate, and it’s […]
Everyone’s favorite drug dealer, crim and disqualified harness racing participant – but not, his main supporter claims without meeting our request for proof, a con man who rips off pensioners – Matthew Anderson had his appeal for drenching 2 horses on NZ Cup day heard on Thursday. He won a victory of sorts too, with […]
It seems that our mail about gallops Deputy Chief Steward Geoffrey ‘Gus’ Goold moving over to the equivalent job at the trots is all but a lock in, with the transfer set to occur shortly after the Brisbane Winter Carnival concludes. Apparently neither Gus nor his current boss Josh Adams will be sad about parting […]
Last night at Alexandra Park they ran a prestigious Group 2 race called the Anzac Day trot. There was a lot of Australian interest in the race, hence it was given a prime spot on Sky 1, which is guaranteed to up to triple the betting pools here. It became the debacle from hell. The […]
