Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
This is absolute and utter bullshit too. Cam Jones is lying through his teeth. The Canary – the unlicensed syndicator Andrew Fitzgerald – is too. It was not the benign collagen like substance Flexadin that was in that syringe that Cam Jones injected into Johnny Nevitts before the Addington race at all. He is making […]
The word around the traps is that of 12.01am Saturday morning, the great, grand folly better known as the Auckland Trots Night TV experiment is – in a word – cactus. Dead, buried, cremated. Gone, gonzo, gone burger. Only a few short weeks ago a club (Auckland) teetering on the verge of bankruptcy paying for […]
In my opinion, the Club’s conduct, through Mr Rudolph, effectively destroyed Mrs Leggett’s life. She cannot work and, as the joint experts agreed, is permanently incapacitated from doing so because of Mr Rudolph’s and the Club’s conduct. That conduct caused a very serious psychiatric illness that may never be cured. Justice Rares, Federal Court of […]
Someone told me the other day that I knew shit from clay, and was making up any involvement in NZ Harness Racing. The same bastards said I didn’t know Julia Gillard either. Or Aunty Helen. When’s the last time they ever high-fived a Prime Minister hey? Or gave the Chairman of the Auckland Trotting Club […]
Anyone recognise his this former police officer from around the Queensland race tracks and the traps? They say that he used to practice his speeding ticket writing skills by filling out lotto forms. Apparently he became so good at it that he ended up writing two (speeding tickets) over the course of his two decade […]
Disgraced harness racing trainer Cam Jones has formally lodged his plea of guilty to charges of doping one of his horses on the way to the races a couple of months ago. He will be sentenced on Friday, with his inevitable disqualification and loss of his license probably the least of his worries right now. […]
“Since when do we penalise our harness racing drivers for making tactical errors in races?” Since they have been LICENCED to compete in races on which there is betting, I would have thought. This is the “I didn’t mean to speed officer, I just wasn’t looking for a sign and I didn’t see it” defence. […]
The Chris Frisby trained pacer Feelgood Express was backed from $1.95 into $1.75 in the 7th race at Redcliffe last night. I very much doubt it was the stable’s money. If it had been it is highly unlikely that Shane Graham would have driven it the atrocious manner than he did, most unlikely indeed. Feelgood […]
Yesterday the Toowoomba Turf Club and Racing Queensland unveiled what RQ claims to be the Sunshine State’s newest innovative race, the Mort & Co King of the Mountain. It is a slot race, named after a Noosa pushbike race, that is named after a Noosa festival, that is named after a Midnight Oil song. How […]
Adelaide trainer Chris Bieg is set to face court in October after he was granted bail at Christies Beach Magistrates Court on Friday. Bieg, who is facing 12 serious charges which are not related to racing, had been remanded in custody earlier this week, but was successful in his bail application on Friday morning. His […]
