Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Robert (Robbie) Morris is one of NSW’s leading reinspersons. He is also the Godson of the Harness Racing NSW CEO John Dumesny. On Tuesday the 30th of November 2021, in the home stretch in the first race at Menangle, Robbie Morris hit the galloping mare Skyzclearnsunny that he was driving with his whip. The mare […]
Lyn Noble is the wife of the disgraced former trainer Tom, the warned off for life owner/operator of the illegal unlicensed track at which wrongsters used to live bait, the one in the horrific Four Corners documentary. Tom and Lyn Noble profited from live baited blood, and became reasonably wealthy from it too. If they […]
The red that you see inside the yellow circle in the picture is raw skin. The horse that you are looking at is Lotamuscle, the winner of the 4th heat of the Inter Dominion Trotting Championship run at Bathurst last night. Lotsamuscle is a high-priced import from New Zealand that was bought and transported here […]
We wrote earlier in the week about Saturday’s tragic death on the track in Timaru of the highly talented Group 1 placed 3-year-old trotting filly Mexicana, and raised a number of unanswered questions about the matter. Upon further investigation we now have more. They are of grave concern, literally and figuratively. 1. Death on the […]

Mr Maier, Chief Executive, wrote to the RSPCA’s 400 employees on Tuesday following News Corp’s revelations of turmoil within the […]
The Racing Victoria report into the death of Anthony Van Dyck in The Cup is a total and utter farce, a sick joke played upon everyone in the sport of racing. The simple fact is that this horse should never have been allowed to race, either of his connections or by the vets employed by […]
As you can see from the Stewards report above driver Michael A. Smith hocked Celestial Trekker – kicked him hard up the arse – multiple times in the preliminary to race 7 at Globe Derby on Saturday night. It appeared pretty clear to me – and let me be clear this is simply my opinion […]
The Coalition for the Protection of Greyhounds has renewed calls for a ban on greyhound racing after two more deaths on Bundaberg tracks. According to a recent stewards‘ report, two-year-old Mum’s the One and veteran dog Armby’s Dream were both euthanised by the on-track vet on November 1. Mum’s the One, aged two, had collided […]
