Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Queensland’s veritable Chief Steward Mr Peter Chadwick issues this directive to all members of the racing industry just six months ago. It makes a lot of sense. Horses should be ridden at their handicapped weights. If they are not, then what’s the point of the whole thing? Chief Steward Chadwick’s directive is plain and clear. […]
Now we are told that HRV is set to post a substantial loss in it’s soon to be released Annual Report. $6.5 million is the figure that we have been given. Perhaps the Ladies aren’t the only ones in Red. I wish they’d hurry up and call back so that we can get confirmation or […]
The mail from head office is that Tabcorp has withdrawn it’s promised sponsorship for ID22, leaving HRV cold, lonely and unloved in the way of financial support for Australia’s biggest harness racing series. We have left a message with HRV seeking confirmation. But I suspect that out mail is good. If so, it throws up […]
Matt Tripp is supposedly the guru of Australian gambling. Forget the fact that his father was an illegal SP bookie, and thus a crim. Forget that Tripp Jr’s success has been built on other people’s money. Forget that his companies have a long track record of targeting problem gamblers who are off the punt, and […]

A review of the first six months of 2022 found that 41% of the overall audience at the site was aged 18-44, compared to the same period in 2019 when that age bracket made up […]
These trends are continued evidence of the power of a contemporary digital first content strategy and the evolution of TrotsVision as a platform. We’re attracting a younger audience. New people are watching our races and engaging with our content, which is obviously great news for the industry. HRV GM Media and Communications Cody Winnell. What […]
Nick Keal was a really good young apprentice who rode 135 winners and earned stakes money of almost $2.5 million during his short four year career that his rising weight ended. It’s the curse of the tall kid, one that only all day, every day hyper focused jockeys like Jim Orman and Nash Rawiller can […]
For years the touch screens in Queensland TAB’s have been useless. They either don’t work, or they lag, or you have to push them ten times to get them going, or they crash. Upgrading them to fix the problem would be the logical thing to do, but that would make too much sense, and Tabcorp […]
