Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
In what seems to be a week for it the President of the Wagga Harness Racing Club Barry McColl has stood down from his position. Unlike in Anne Mowday’s departure from Globe Derby, Mr McColl is not retiring. He is said not to be overly pleased at departing his office either. No doubt there will […]
Racing in the Western Cape of South Africa has come to a standstill after a major brouhaha erupted at the Durbanville meeting on Wednesday. The situation is bizarre. A Stewards Inquiry was held on Tuesday into jockey Grant van Niekerk’s ride on a horse named ALL OUT FOR SIX in Race 8 at Kenilworth on […]
Keep your eye on the horse in last place on the fence in this race at Hong Kong, the one in the yellow and red silks. If you threw your ticket away at the top of the straight you’d better go and get it out of the bin. California Star is the horse’s name. It […]

Olympic Equestrian now going out to Toowoomba Showgrounds How much room is out there? Here’s an idea build a harness centre of excellence, ie track and training was centre as […]
I know its a bit late to criticize a jockey’s ride last weekend, but I have been waiting for someone to say something about Josh Parr’s ride on Shezanalister in the last at Rosehill on Saturday and no-one has, so we will. Parr slaughtered Shezanalister. The Bjorn Baker trainer horse should have won by panels. […]
