Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
An Adelaide horse trainer accused of trafficking more than 100kg of cannabis through his family business allegedly told police “fanciful” tales of being “set up” and raking in big bucks selling hay and horse meds, a court has heard. Luke O’Neill, of Adelaide, fronted Mildura Magistrates’ Court on Thursday for a bail application. Mr O’Neill […]

Harness Racing South Australia Stewards at Globe Derby Park on Wednesday 13th August 2025 conducted an inquiry in respect of a matter which had been adjourned on Friday 25th July 2025 when […]
The photograph you see at the top was taken at Globe Derby last night after the win of Georgy Girl and published on the official Facebook page of the SA Breeders, Owners, Trainers and Reinspersons Association (SA BOTRA). The bloke in the tracksuit pants on your left in the picture is Luke O’Neill, the former […]
Queensland gallops trainer Kerrod Smyth has been disqualified for 10 months after one of his maiden gallopers returned a positive swab to elevated levels of TCO2 after a race at Rockhampton in July. 38.5 mmol/L carbon monoxide was the reading the horse returned, well in excess of the threshold of 36.0 and almost certainly indicative […]
Here is another jockey who has allowed themselves to be recorded ingesting what appears to be, and in my experience and opinion is highly likely to be, cocaine. This time it is rider Casey Waddell. We are led to believe the video was taken at or around the same time as the video of Amy […]
The QRIC Stewards were quick to act after becoming aware of the video recording we published this morning of jockey Amy Graham snorting what appears to be cocaine. Not only did they drug test Graham today at the races, the Stewards went so far as to stand her down from riding pending an inquiry into […]
Amy Graham. She is the poor woman who was with Chris Caserta when he drowned. It is not known when the video was taken, or why the hell she allowed it to be filmed, but it looks to be relatively recent. Anyone able to zoom in enough on the calendar will be able to tell […]
Is this who I think it is snorting coke in the video below? A prominent but troubled QLD jockey who has had addiction problems in the past but told the press a couple of years ago that they were clean? It doesn’t look like they are too clean here does it? Oh dear.
Helluva is a 7-year-old pacer who has been running around racetracks since the year 2020, and in that time has saluted te judge in first place on 12 occasions, but in all of his wins the horse has never run a race in a faster mile rate than 1.54.9. That win came 2 years ago over […]
I used to thing trainer Mick Stanley was one of the good guys, but after the win of his 3-year-old Sao Paolo Simba at Menangle today I am no longer sure. Sao Paolo Simba had raced 11 times coming into today’s race and won 4 and placed 3. He had raced at Menangle 5 times […]
