Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Perth real estate agent Duro Margaretic was, until last week, a board member at Gloucester Park. He hadn’t actually sat in on any board meetings for a while, because unlike at Albion Park in highly similar circumstances, the WA club had stood him down. I cannot tell you why for legal reasons. After yesterday’s seminal […]
Watch the race. How could the Stewards not push the red light and call it off after 3 strides? Why on earth did they have to interview all the jockeys to ask them if they were disadvantaged? It was blindingly obvious. These stipes are morons. Every second week they totally stuff things up, except in […]
Do you reckon we should write more stories about Harness Racing NSW? Especially ones about J. Dumesny and M. Prentice? It seems to get results doesn’t it? There is just one problem with KA Morris’s DQ though. All her horses will get transferred to her husband Robbie, who is the real trainer anyway, or one […]
Decron Horse Care is wonderful wee horse care company owned by the man who has been on a two code hot streak for the last few years, Mr Melbourne Mervyn Butterworth. Merv is also a proud sponsor of camel racing. Well I think that’s what hump racing is anyway. Who do you reckon goes faster, […]
It’s no wonder Jim Murdoch is smiling. I don’t feel so bad about him getting me kicked out of QCAT now. Or only a little bit anyway.

Discerning horsemen like Leon Jurd kept a close watch on claiming races all over Australia. It’s a risky business putting in a bid for ancient geldings who’ve got a million miles on the clock, but Leon became […]
News hot off the press is that 2 horses have thrown positive swabs after winning at Menangle. One is trained by Cameron Ross. It’s gone positive to Dexamathasone . That will only get Ross a fine. The other one is the huge surprise. It’s a horse named Lochiel. Guess who trains it? Leon Jurd. Bet […]
Harness Racing NSW Stewards did. I don’t. What about you?
We have written before about the incredible success of young Rockhampton trainer Nick Walsh. Now he has done even better. With his winners at Rockhampton on Sunday and at Thangool yesterday Walsh has surpassed his previous record, and lifted his already amazing strike rate beyond the 50% mark for the season. Walsh has now trained […]
The Rockhampton Jockey Club completed construction of 2 on-course horse stabling complexes last year. These stables were built with money provided courtesy of a Racing Queensland grant. It is rumored that the successful tender bidder for the project submitted their quote about a week after the tenders had closed. The whisper is that the winning […]
