Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The phone has been running off the hook since we published the EPO rumor sweeping Sydney this morning. Apparently there are a lot of very worried trainers in Wagga too. And it stretches across the ditch as well. There are more than rumors about EPO positives there. The Kiwis are claiming it’s gospel. The common […]
The rumor mill is running at a million miles an hour that the Harness Racing NSW lab has introduced new testing technology that allows it to test and retest swab samples to detect previously undetectable traces of EPO, and that the scientists have being doing exactly that over the past month and continue to do […]
Alexandra Park suffers damage The entire track surface of Alexandra Park will need to be replaced after being trashed by the Auckland floods, with one of their biggest meetings already moved to Cambridge. The torrential rain last Friday and subsequent downpours have washed part of the track away and left deep rutting around the 1000m […]
There is a very good reason that the Gold Coast can only put on a card of seven races with just 54 runners today, prior to scratchings. It’s this that you see above. The poly is a piece of crap. Soon they will be struggling to get fields of four. And even that will be […]
He’s red hot the Canary isn’t he? I refer of course to Andrew Fitzgerald, the owner/promoter of the dodgiest syndication outfit north of Dunedin, the deliciously named Off N Gone Racing. In May last year the Canary sold a bunch of suckers some shares in a slow six-year old mare by the name of Northview […]
So Major Miss is a yearling and a 2YO at the same time? It’s a good trick isn’t it? New Zealand’s dodgiest syndicator Off N Racing selling shares in it is too. Why? Because Studholme Bloodstock own the filly, and there is no lease registered with HRNZ. For the sake of the clarity that Off […]

Gee the Seymour family move quick. The vote to develop most of the good land at Globe Derby was only held last Sunday. It got up, in what some consider to be controversial circumstances. Within 4 days the fences had gone up and the surveyors had moved in. There mustn’t be much building work on […]
The opening market in the Hunter has changed utterly in the past 24 hours. Copy That opened up at the ridiculously short quote of $2.15, but has blown out to a more realistic $3.20, with more flex to come I reckon. It’s the other Kiwi that the money has come for, Old Town Road. He’s […]
The photos above and below are from the Townsville TAB meeting held on the 20th of January. See the thing I have circled in the picture at the top taken of race 4? It’s an ambulance. Every race held at every meeting around Australia is supposed to have one trailing the field, in case a […]
