Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Steve Stockman has been around harness racing for many years, but up until the last few years he was just another face in the crowd and player in the game. Then one day in 2020 he untied the purse strings, and all of a sudden Stockman became the man. He has been spending like a […]

It came over to Australia on the 30th of March this year. The new trainer gave her a workout. She dropped dead. It was not Summit’s fault. […]
Shocking new information has come to light about how far the jigger boys from Birdsville will go to cheat, and how they do it, and why they don’t get caught. They are hitting their horses with Ice. Not the cold stuff, the Class A drug. Ice is the street name for Methamphetamine, or meth. They […]
My mate Andrew Rule is a great writer, much better than me. Rule is also a racing man, a real one, from a racing family. Which means he knows a whole lot more about jiggers than I do too. Here is how Rule describes it. Rule’s spot on. Not that I would know anything about […]
About four months ago we warned you that the Western Australian vego-fascist animal activist and adult entertainment artist Tash Peterson was planning to disrupt the Million Dollar Chase.
