Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
A few readers have questioned our recent story in which we told you that the QLD Pacing Derby runner-up Maxo Mighty had died at the age of just three. It’s not that these readers are unbelievers, just that Maxo Mighty is still shown on the Harness Racing Records as dead, which means that either: (a) […]
Two weeks ago the Jason Grimson trained Maxo Mighty ran 2nd in the Group 1 QLD Derby at just its 6th start since joining the stable two months ago. Today its racing status is listed as None Recorded. That’s because the 3yo is brown bread. Dead. We don’t know why, or what its cause of […]
Alleged animal abuser Clinton Taylor is still selling branded merchandise online through his website. If you want to pin your flag to his sails and buy some, I would suggest you be quick.

Neither of them bothered to respond to the hearing notice, and the pair didn’t […]
Do you remember us breaking the story a couple of years ago about Adrian Talbot, the brother of the then Wagga Greyhound Club President Ben Talbot, and how he was killing horses and chopping them up to sell to greyhound trainers, including his brother, for dog food? Here are the stories if you have forgotten. […]
It took a little detective work and a bit of reading between the lines, but the mystery of a harness trainer’s 2 x 6 month disqualifications has been solved. Because the QRIC elected not to publish the person’s name we shall not either, even though we know who it is, and shall refer to them […]
Good morning Archie From what’s being said Jordan Topping has another animal welfare case, not sure what it is but RSPCA are lurking. If that’s the case as a repeat offender she should never be given a licence and is not a fit and proper person to be in any code. Question is why wasn’t […]
As you can see in the story below, trot trainer/driver Jordan Topping has form for animal welfare breaches. Her partner Ryan Veivers does too. This pair are not people who care properly for horses.
