Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
In our story this morning about Jim Murdoch KC representing Darren Weir in his latest appeal we wrote that the Magic Man had taken over from Damian Sheales, who we wrote had been ditched by Weir. This was factually incorrect. Damian Sheales at no stage represented Darren Weir. Sheales represented Weir’s co-accused Jarron McLean and […]
The QRIC were kind enough to contact us this morning to point out an error in the letter to the editor that we published this morning from Vance from Virginia about Adin Thompson’s suspension for blowing over 0.02 at the races not being recorded. A report was indeed published about the matter. It was a […]
Back in April last year we wrote a story about country trot trainer Dwayne Brown’s horse Princess Remi having thrown a positive swab to a painkiller. The story was correct that the Stewards had summoned Brown to explain why the anti-inflammatory painkiller Naproxen had been found in his horse’s swab. That they did indeed. The […]

I will be making an optometrist appointment first thing in the morning, after I pen this apology for questioning Adman Hamilton’s judgement of a race and form. Adman you don’t glasses, I do. You were right and I was wrong, and Andy Gath was spot on. Catch A Wave’s run was slashing last week, I […]
Over the course of the past two months this website published a number of stories alleging potential misconduct relation to conflicts of interest between the personal and professional activities of Mr Matthew Isaacs in his role as CEO of Harness Racing Victoria. These stories were based on information from multiple sources, and were written based […]
As most would be aware we were the victim of a hoax late Wednesday afternoon, one that we fell for hook line and sinker, and made an absolute idiot of ourselves both writing and pursuing. Based on the information that we had been provided – and which we had checked, based on what had been […]
