Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
This is the featured event on the Albion Park website right now. Saturday’s night’s big races. The time-honoured Sunshine Sprint. And the Group 1 Golden Girl. You’d have to be kidding wouldn’t you? Of course she’s a girl? She couldn’t be a woman could she. Then the little boys who run the club would have […]
Harness Racing Australia’s silence on the continuing employment of Scott Steele at the Albion Park club has been deafening. This is the peak body of a sport that, despite various waves of discrimination, has been trailblazer for the participation of women. As long ago as 1917 women were driving against and beating men, although it […]
This pair are too stupid to realise it, but their actions in protecting the accused rapist Scott Steele have put harness racing at Albion Park one step away from being ended forever.

Story and penalty soon on @RacenetTweets — Ben Dorries (@bendorries76) July 13, 2022 Ben Dorrie has just broken the news that Acting Chief Steward Daniel ‘Tyson Fury’ Aurisch has now retracted the improper riding charge laid against […]
We can’t say too much right now, but you may have noticed that we have been suggesting that there is a whole lot of jockeying going on for Peter Chadwick’s job as the gallops Chief Steward in QLD. Obviously this seems a bit strange, because the bloke is simply taking a winter vacation. Maybe. Some […]
Yesterday’s debacle in which two-thirds of the Hamilton trot card was bumped from its scheduled spot on Sky 1 to accommodate a gallops meeting at Gilgandra should be sounding alarm bells all across the harness racing world, and causing urgent meetings of the peak body HRA to be called so that State bodies and their […]
