Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
We told you the story last week about how NSW trot trainer Adam Kelly escaped a disqualification for one of his horses throwing a positive to methamphetamine after his stablehand put their hand up as being responsible for contaminating the horse with the Class A drug. Well now fellow NSW trainer Dean Atkinson, who was […]
The case of trot trainer Adam Kelly and the meth positives was a most unusual one indeed. Two of Kelly’s horses threw positive swabs to methamphetamine – P, ice, crack, crank – in the space of 10 days, one of them – Showmethetanlines – after winning a listed race at Menangle. In the Hanging State […]
We have written repeatedly about how trot trainer Paul Tonkin was dealt a massive injustice by Harness Racing NSW Stewards when the honored member of the community who had saved people’s lives through his work was disqualified for 18 months and vilified as a drug cheat, merely because one of his horses threw a positive […]
In late May this year Hunter Valley trot trainer Brendon Flaherty was handed down a two and half year year disqualification after his mare Gisselle threw a positive swab to methamphetamine. Flaherty was a first time offender who pleaded guilty to a presentation charge at the earliest opportunity. Yesterday another Hunter Valley horseperson Grace Panella […]
The long running Alligator Blood positive swab in the 2020 Magic Millions saga is set to move to its next phase with the second iteration of the Stewards Inquiry into the matter commencing this Wednesday and continuing into Thursday.

But a few days after it happened Gordon appeared before the […]
A couple of days ago we declared Minos an absolute certainty at Albion Park, and begged you to take the tip. Hope you did. It shit in. $2.80 we got, and are wishing you did too. Leap To Fame holds the track record at Albion Park. It is the greatest pacer ever seen. Minos is […]
There is interesting mail out of Tasmania that disqualified harness racing participant Mark Reggett’s appeal last week against his 5 year disqualification for EPO was disrupted by the unexpected – by Reggett anyway – appearance of 5 police to meet him at the appeal room door. It is said that these officers seized his phone. […]
There is nothing official published about it yet, but we all know that Tasmanian dual code trainer Connor Crook has been done for having vials of EPO. While the matter is being sorted, Tasracing has determined to refuse Crook’s nominations for both his gallopers and his pacers, which is fair enough because if you possess […]
