Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The favorite in this race is Atreacherous. It is trained by Jeremy Seal and driven by Ryan Hryhorec, who as we shall soon see is about to have a very bad night. Atreacherous is drawn in gate 2, but no-one expects him to lead because he hasn’t done so at his past 22 starts over […]
We move now to race 4, a contest for lowly rated horses in the NR50’s run over a mile. The market only has two in it, Icy Reception trained by Aaron Bain and driven by Wayne Hill at $2.15 and drawn gate 3, and the $2.50 pop Shazzam in gate 6, which is once again […]

Last week leading NSW greyhound trainer Allan Ivers – who is a damn fine trainer indeed – was thrown out of the sport for two years. His crimes? Scratching 3 dogs and copping a sling for the expenses, and putting a few bets on for a kid. If the former is a crime punishable by […]
A decade ago harness racing trainer/driver Tony Pullicino was disqualified from holding a license for 12 years after recording his third TCO2 rule breach offence. It was the harshest penalty ever handed down. Andrew Bensley thought so too, even though he didn’t quite say it. He was right. I was reading this case the other […]
