PETA – People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals – are the enemy of the racing industry. They hate us, and want to shut us down. We’re cruel, wicked torturers they reckon, animal exploiters and speciests of the worst kind. What’s a speciest you ask? A person who believes that humans run the world, not […]
The Federal Government plans to kill more than 10 000 horses over the next five years. Wild bush horses. Colts from old Regret. Two thousand a year, and their kids too. This is okay apparently, humane. A bullet in the head fired from an assassin in a helicopter, that might land on the target and […]
This was one of Ben Yole’s two winners at Hobart last night. Aaron Bain is the leading light of the South Australian harness racing scene, which shows how bad the industry is going. We’ve written heaps about him – read it here – and soon we will write more about the rort with the Gawler […]

Just curious Mr Ben Yole. That’s all.
A ten-year old pacer named Arrowkeefe won a race at Globe Derby yesterday, less than 18 hours after it had run 2nd in one at Port Pirie the night before. WTF? In a State that loudly proclaims that – and I quote – The horse is at the heart of everything we do in South […]
Ben ‘Chainsaw’ Yole didn’t have a runner in the first race at Hobart last night, but he turned out 39 of the 50 starters in the other 5 races (78%). In race three Chainsaw trained every one of the nine starters. He trained 5 of the runners in race six, 10 of the 12 in […]
After racing for 20 consecutive months, Australia’s most over-raced pacer Bien Hoa was finally given a month off in March. It was only the 2nd break of four weeks or more that the 13-year-old workhorse has had in the past 4 years. Given that he Bien Hoa raced 9 times in just 5 weeks between […]
