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.

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. In Queensland harness racing is losing $5 million a […]
In a story published recently on this site we said that there was no temporary stabling at Albion Park. We were wrong.
