I have lost count of how long we have been telling you that copper cum trot trainer ‘Smoking’ Joe Connolly was red hot, but we have been right from the get go and continue to be correct now. This plod ain’t training straight and clean. That was evidenced once again in the 5th race at […]
I wonder what’s happened at Harness Racing Victoria that precipitated the giant backflip that has seen the integrity department reject the transfer of horses from Emma Stewart to her partner Clayton Tonkin, almost two weeks after the transfers happened and were approved? It certainly is a huge turnaround from when we first raised the issue […]
Jason Grimson has built his public name as a trainer on taking used horses and turning them into stars. His reputation in harness racing circles is built on something else again.

The story so far. An anonymous whistleblower sent The Black Horse Newsletter a tranche of 150 Department of Agriculture documents connected to two of Ireland’s biggest doping scandals. Issue 10 of the Newsletter contained revelations in the John Hughes case not made public before, including the names of some of the trainers and their associates […]
Queensland’s integrity boss Shane Gillard has spearheaded a new plan to catch dopers and cheats in the racing industry.
