Harness Racing NSW CEO John Dumesny may well live in a $3 million apartment at Harold Park that he’d acquired from the developer that the club he ran sold the land to, but Craig Cross is not the trainer of Dominate. He can’t be, for the old girl has been long dead. Craig Cross’s six […]
Well Well Well – Lookie Here – Where Have All These Horses Bain?
I am researching a story about a bum trainer from Gawler named Aaron Bain, who has come from nowhere to become one of the biggest players in four state Australian harness racing, and has a whole lot of links to horses that suddenly grow legs, and to trainers with massive question marks over them like […]

Casting Your Pearls Among Swine – After You Needle Them First
Pearls For Tash was what we used to call in less politically correct days a poofter. It was a terrible turn of phrase when you think about it, and totally incorrect, as Ian Roberts proved. Plus she’s a mare. So in the spirit of the day, and with all due respect, I will just say […]

The Persecution of Ben Currie is Writ Large by the John O’Shea Decision – All Men Are Equal Above and Below the Turf – Except the Toowoomba Tornado
Ben Currie and John O’Shea were convicted of the identical offence of presenting a horse to race when it had traces of the prohibited substance Methamphetamine in its system.
