Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The drug testing team were out in force at Alexandra Park last night, but this time it was the humans participants they were testing, not the animals. We hear that at least one, and possibly more, drivers may soon to be finding themselves in a world of pain when the test results are confirmed. Watch […]
I have never in entire life seen a more obviously crooked team drive than the one that Kate Gath pulled in the 8th at Melton last night. Gath drove the $1.40 favorite Encipher, trained by Emma Stewart and winner of a half million dollars and last year’s 3YO Filly of the Year award. It was […]
154. (1) If a horse breaks gait during a race, its driver shall take immediate action to avoid interference with other runners and without gaining an unfair advantage restrain the horse to its correct gait before rejoining the race without interference to another runner.

Watch the horse drawn drawn the inside of the back row. Do you reckon he might have breached the rules? Yeah me too. Bernie Hewitt got a $200 fine for his deliberate rule breach. He got away with murder.
What the hell went on here? I am told by more than one reliable source that Grant Dixon yelled out to his wife Trista to kick the $126 shot Mister Domingo up in the death and keep the favorite driven by Matt Elkins wide. And then when the fave did get across they say G. […]
Take a look at the replay of the run down the straight in race 10 at Albion Park on Saturday night. Grant Dixon is driving the horse in 2nd place on the fence as they round the home turn, the one in the red, navy and white racing colors of Albion Park Harness Racing Club […]
