Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
There is this old Damon Runyon story called All Horse Players Die Broke. I’ve republished it in the story below, but basically it’s all about how there a million ways in racing to get beaten. The story was written a century ago, but the truth of it has stood the test of time. We saw […]
Everyone’s favorite Woodend Beach based trainer John ‘Lurch’ Dunn employs the young driver Devon van Til (pictured below), or at least his father John and wife Jenna do, or anyway that’s what the registration books say. Yeah right, whatever. According to this article above, Van Til’s 1st introduction to harness racing was when Lurch let […]
Jett Turnbull is the son of Nathan Turnbull, who is the son of Steve Turnbull, who is the son of AD ‘Tony’ Turnbull, who like his son after him an absolute legend of the Australian harness racing game. What this family family haven’t won in the trot game isn’t worth winning. I reckon they are […]
We have been very critical of Grant ‘Moses’ Dixon’s driving on this site, and have even gone as far as issuing calls for Kevin AM to pull rank and sack his trainer from the cart in big Group 1’s. I was wrong. Yes, you did stuff up by not going to Auckland earlier for a […]
At the tender age of just 21 or 22 – I am not sure which – ‘Happy’ Jack Callaghan is already the 2nd best harness race driver in the land, and he is improving by the day. He proved at Albion Park last night with his drive on Spirit of St Louis in the Sunshine […]

Appeal dismissed. Then he has another crack, appealing a 7 day suspension issued for the same offence when driving a horse […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/nsw/BHC12072313.mp4 The favorite in the 7th race at Bathurst last night was a horse named Line Me Up Bro. It’s driver Nathan Turnbull sure did line punters up bro. He drove it as dead as a doornail. Just watch the replay and you will see exactly what we mean. The Stewards have instituted an inquiry […]
Famous old absurdist joke. What’s the difference between an Orange? A motorbike because it’s got wheels. Blair Orange has been selected as New Zealand’s representative in the upcoming World Drivers Championship in Berlin, Germany. Orange’s selection is insane, for reasons that we cannot publish at present due to name suppression orders issued by the NZ […]
We are usually the first to be critical of what we perceive to be team driving tactics by drivers from the Ben Yole stable, and usually we are right too, but in the case of Olivia Weidenbach being investigated for her drive on Somedan in the 8th race at Launceston on Sunday I reckon the […]
