Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Jason Grimson has yet another new addition to his barn having its first start in his colors today in race 7 at Menangle. Somewhat unusually, Grimson has elected to drive it today too. The horse’s name is Outside Fighter. a seven-year-old gelding who has raced 145 times over six seasons for just 12 wins, and […]
We told you in a story published on this site that there would be further twists and turns in the Emma Stewart race day treatment saga, and if the talk on everyone’s lips at the Karaka sale is any indication, the trot world now seems to have caught up with what I was cryptically telling […]
Carisbrook trot trainer Paul Watson may not be thinking it right now, but he must have been kissed by a fairy. In late December 2022 one of Watson’s horses threw a positive swab to Cobalt after winning a race at Maryborough, and then the next month the Stewards performed a surprise visit at Watson’s stable […]
That was the sentiment from Harness Racing’s first $300 million dollar man in a Harnesslink exclusive interview detailing the latest twist in the saga with industry regulators and their somewhat unhinged crusade to clean up the sport. North America’s quest for clean racing on the back of the recent federal indictments has reached a tipping […]
Well we were spot on with our mail regarding horses in the care of prominent Cairns trainers having returned positive swabs to arsenic, and with our tip that they were going to escape penalty on a contamination defense.

This bloke Scott Robinson was one of the crooked suppliers of performance enhancing drugs to trainers in both codes who was targeted by the FBI investigation a couple of years ago that saw dozens go to jail. He was one of them. Obviously Robinson learned nothing from his spell inside. He was straight back into […]
The word on the street is that the racing lab may have found traces of something a lot more explosive than saline in the tubes of the drips seized from Emma Stewart that lead to her presently stayed 6 month disqualification. Something much more explosive indeed. If the mail is correct, this is going to […]
Morning Archie If Qld racing follows through with the QRIC’s plan for only 1 vet and 1 swabbie it will often be the case where not even all the winners are able to be swabbed. There is only a small window of time from collecting the winner, hosing them down, feeding them a drink of […]
The Commission is committed to the development of improved detection methods for substances that may be used for doping purposes. The QRIC substance control strategy aims to identify areas where the use of prohibited substances is a risk to the racing industry. The way the Commission tests racing animals and when, relies on intelligence and […]
