Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Why are teenage kids driving home from one end of Tasmania to other at two in the morning towing a float with four horses in it? What time did the driver start work? Why are they towing four horses in a float pulled by a Ford Ranger, when the Ranger’s towing capacity is a maximum […]
Yesterday the SA Harness Racing Club that used to own Globe Derby voted to sell it. Well sort of anyway, but not quite. The club has been run as a rort for years, in various different ways. Dodgy land deals have been done, cash floats have disappeared, alcohol stocks ever consistently vanish, odd robberies occur […]
Five young people all under the age of 21 are in hospital and four horses are dead after a car after a white Ford Ranger that one of them was driving at 1.45am last night left the road, crashed into a tree stump and rolled on the Batman Highway. The poor kids are trots people […]
Tasracing Review Report 2020 – Tasmanian Government Well look at this will you? Every single Tasmanian adult contributes $58.68 from their taxes to fund harness racing on the Apple Isle.

George Fiacchi was appointed by the SA Government as its general to launch a war against Globe Derby. Fiacchi’s mission was to take on the club and take over their SA trot citadel, then strip it bare and sell everything that it owned to the favoured bidder. We told you this three years ago, and […]
Can you believe that in the post #metoo, Jeffrey Epstein and his odious mate Ghislaine Maxwell, Prince Andrew, Grace Tame and Brittany Higgins age, the Gold Coast Turf Club still thinks it is okay to name a race the OFFICE CHICKS QTIS 2YO HANDICAP? That’s what the first race yesterday was called. The office chicks? […]
The NZ Thoroughbred Racing Starters Manual stipulates in no uncertain terms that the starter shall (must) test the starting gates before the first race to ensure they are working properly. It is not an if or but situation; the gates must be tested. The starter at Gore race meeting on 21 January, Steve Batt, didn’t […]
For a long time now I have been telling you that the NSW swabbing regime at Menangle is off. The Stewards proved it again last night. In the main race of the night there were only three horses in the betting market, the McCarthy trained Spirit of St Louis at $2.40 and Bondi Lockdown at […]
