Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying

Without looking, name 5 of the top 10 horses in the betting market for the Melbourne Cup. I bet you can’t. How sad is that? Once upon a time we pored over the Cup form and the markets for months leading into the race. Not any more. There is just 3 weeks and 5 days […]
Race 2 HRNZ Annual Conference 2YO Pace – no 4 Sherlock This bloke is really, really smart, but has been crucified by bad barriers at his two starts to date. That all changes on Friday night. You are going to see a very different Sherlock here. One who is a winner. Race 8 Canterbury Flying […]
Well Sportsfans, if you followed our expert judgement like the Doc did, you’d be as rich as Croesus after Sharp ‘N’ Smart’s outstanding victory in the rescheduled Gloaming Stakes today. The Doc is, and I would be too, if only they didn’t have hurdle races on late at night in the post-coital hours at the […]
Paulele made it seven wins from 18 starts when he added the Group 2 Schillaci Stakes to his form sheet on Saturday and he deserves a Group 1 win. I can see him getting that coveted victory on Friday week in the Manikato Stakes. He only beat second-tier horses in the Schillaci, but what is […]

Another rumour currently floating around involves the Maryborough Harness Racing Club. It also involves a well known OAM (not Kevin Seymour, he holds a higher honour), and the Victorian Harness Racing Club, which at present is a harness racing club only in name. This whisper on the wind suggests that discussions are currently being held […]
There is word going around that former QLD Chief Thoroughbred Steward Peter Chadwick may not in fact be lost to the game at all, as previously speculated. It seems soccer is not all that appealing to him. The whispers are that he is in the frame for the Harness Racing Victoria Chief Steward’s job. Surely […]
Archibald Did Harness Racing New Zealand have to give the Cambridge harness racing club (Waikato-Bay of Plenty) money to pay the prizemoney for the The Race by Grins (editor’s note – the Grinner), after they club went cap in hand to them after they discovered that they couldn’t pay all the stakes money for THE […]
