Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
You don’t often see a protest at the trots for interference at the 600m mark, but you did last night at Bathurst. It was the right decision too. Have a look for yourself. The horse that lost on protest is 3-back the fence. Turbo Trainor is the driver. The one that one is last in […]
14 months ago five of Tony Gollan’s horses were blood tested at the trials, and threw up positive swabs to Frusemide, better known as Lasix. Big Ben Dorries reported that the substance was primarily a diuretic. That’s because he is a bloody idiot. It’s really an anti-bleeding medication, one that is banned for use in […]
DON’T TOUCH THIS – Stewards questioned driver R Morris in relation to the tactics employed in the event, in particular during the early stages when electing to shift down to the marker pegs from a running line position. Mr Morris explained that, during the early stages when trailing ERATIGENA in the running line, he believed that runner was […]
Profit: And Pigs Fly The undisputed heavyweight clown prince has been at it again this week. I speak of course of Jason Bonnington, the man who when he is not falling off horses, kicking his bet homes like a demented loon, justifying juxtapositions and critical correlations in his near unintelligible rambling column on thetrots.com has […]
I haven’t had the opportunity to read the Auckland Trotting Club (ATC) annual report as yet, mainly because I haven’t got a copy to read. So I will suspend all doubt about the veracity to the media reports until such as time as I get one, but in the interim may I ask the following: […]

The mail is that J-Mac and his form people have identified our boy Sharp N Smart as the pea for the Victoria Derby. Sources close to the Mac tell us that his agent approached trainer G. ‘Rogie’ Rogerson for the ride this week after learning that J.H. Bowman was staying in Sydney to ride in […]
Look at the first ‘expert’ report by Racing Victoria’s vet Dr Grace Forbes into the alleged administration of a milkshake by trainer Shawn Mathick to one of his horses. It was made on 14 October 2019, and this is is what is says: “In my opinion, the two most likely possible explanations for the modest […]
The Directors of the Auckland Trotting Club don’t own it’s land, the members of the club do. It is there for the club, and for the club only. This is not a business, it is a 132 year-old not for profit association formed and operated for the purpose of promoting harness racing by conducting races […]
This is that Noah Rose bloke I told you about a few months ago. The worm who happily accepts bet for the more than his so claimed payout limit, but won’t pay them. We knocked him over for $17 grand that was due and owing. It looks like Racing Victoria have given him a boot […]
