Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Thursday’s spectacular night of racing at Albion Park should have been the week’s headline act yet NSW’s Racing Appeals Tribunal stole the show on Tuesday regarding a decision on Andrew Bell’s 16 months disqualification which dates back to a Dapto 297m event in December 2021. On the night, it was found that Bell presented King […]
Do you recognise the bloke on the right? No, it’s not the penguin, even though they do bear a remarkable resemblance. It’s Scrivo, former leading jockey Shane Scriven! Doing his his best Roy Higgins impersonation obviously. Scrivo is the apprentice school chief these days. They reckon he took some likely young prospects for a canter […]
So one night – or should I say early one morning, for the witching hour had come and gone – this sports punt junkie with more money than sense is still up betting like a lunatic in units of between $4736 – $10 000 on in-play match options in a Chelsea v West Brom Premier […]
On Friday night at Gloucester Park we had the rare privilege to witness what must have been the worst quality WA Cup in living memory, a race just like the Fremantle Cup run a fortnight before where three of the first four home sat 1-2-3 in the run over the staying journey, which is never […]
New Zealand driver Phil Burrows is due to face the music today for being caught doping one of horses Rakero Rebel in a race on Cup Day, ably assisted in his unlawful actions by no less that Matthew Anderson (aka Vanderklay), the disqualified fraudster, drug dealer and woman basher who was infamously supported by Harness […]

Holzarte Vedaquais is a young trotter that Tim Butt bought out of France for $440 000 while on an all expenses paid by Harness Racing Australia ‘study tour’ and flogged to all comers with a pitch declaring it to be the next big thing. Butt said the same about the original horse that he wanted […]
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 […]
