Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
NZ Trainer Colin De Filippi had 2 runners in the Winter Cup at Rangiora yesterday, Here’s Herbie and Heza Sport. He and his wife own them both. The pair opened up in the betting at $9.00 apiece. Here’s Herbie was smashed into $3.50 at jump time. Heza Sport blew out the door to $14.00. Which […]
Tim Williams (in blue) and John Dunn coming back after race 6 There are some very disturbing rumors emanating out of New Zealand about a race fix in the 6th at the Rangiora trots yesterday, won by the Robert Dunn trained pacer Triple G. The rumor is that the drivers of the top two horses […]

Racing SA has copped a hammering in the past week about the decision to race on at Gawler on Anzac Day in the wake of Dean Holland’s tragic accident.
