Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
You couldn’t make this one up if you tried. Announcement released at 11.56pm last night. Those in the know (guess who Blue?) knew well before that. Albion Park is cactus as a race track. The dogs are going to get $40 million to build a new track to relocate to. They deserve it too. But […]
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.

These hush-hushers who run the Albion Park Harness Racing Club have got to be kidding haven’t they? Two-tenths of fuck-all members of the public go to the trots anymore, and I know that for a fact because 1/10th of the attendees are three of my mates.
