Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Watch Seaton Grima come off the fence from Swayzee’s back and collect Cya Art on his outside. The check effectively cost Cya Art what looked to a big time chance of beating the $1.05 favorite. It also made sure that Swayzee won the $250 000 bonus, and stayed alive in the quest for the million. […]
Take a look at what Tasmanian driver Nathan Ford does here as they turn for home. Bloody hell, how obvious can a cheat be? Ford pretends that he isn’t, but he clearly steers the leader off the fence to let the runner boxed up on his back through. It wins of course. That’s what it […]
What the hell was Robbie Morris doing here on My Moonlite Dream in the 5th at Menangle on Saturday night. Morris is in the bright yellow colors behind the leader, who has gone super quick and is near certain to wobble away from the fence as it tires. Our man Morris however doesn’t agree. He […]
To Peter Profit Re: Hocking Gavin Lang had a long history of doing it, particularly in big races. Personally I don’t see the big deal in it. It’s not as if he has whipping them to death. But rules are rules. Copied from harness racing forum about G. Lang. Legend, Hall of Famer, saint, sinner. […]

It’s hard to believe what we have just seen. In the heat of a stirring battle down the straight with the lion-hearted Kanena Provlima, driver David Moran has lost his mind and dropped his foot, and in full view of the cameras and the crowd he has hocked Captain Hammerhead to the lead and across […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/qld/APC07012505.mp4 We told you yesterday about how the WA Stewards had allowed Lindsay Harper to drive a horse other than the one he drives in a race at Gloucester Park last night. The horse lost, as did the one that Harpers owns and drives, but that is not the point. The point is that the […]

Watch the driver of the horse one off the fence, in 4th place as the film rolls. The horse’s name is Moonlite. It’s driver is Robbie Close. Imagine that you have Moonlite to run 4th in your First 4. Keep your eyes on him as they approach the finish line. Watch closely what Robbie Close […]
