Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Earlier this week we published a story based on information gleaned from a story written by journalist Cameron Barclay and published in the Otago Daily Times. In our story we repeated the assertion made by Mr Barclay – who was present at the Stewards inquiry into the relevant rule breach hearing – that Jones had […]
Apache Chaz was the subject of an out of competition test on 13 June 2019. Ostarine was detected in the sample. On 14 June 2019, Apache Chaz was entered in Race 2 at Geelong. A pre-race sample showed the presence of Ostarine. Under the penalty guidelines published by GRV, the suggested minimum penalty is a […]
Poor old Jill Grimson. He runs up to QLD chasing diamonds and hands, and his Sydney stable falls to pieces. Since he’s been gone his horses at home have suddenly lost a leg, and mysteriously transformed into camels. There is a lesson in this. Either Jill is the greatest trainer in Australia as we all […]
Peter Russo is a drug cheating harness trainer currently serving a three year and six months disqualification for his third positive swag offence in the last 10 years. Russo’s close relative Paul is serving an 8 and 1/2 year DQ. His family member Michael is out for life after being convicted of 9 criminal charges […]
Take a seat before you read this so you don’t fall down laughing on the floor. The IHRB aren’t really that stupid that it believes the bullshit it is spouting. It’s just protecting Coolmore, who pretty much run Irish racing. Contamination of a swab for pain killers from a dog pissing on the straw hey? […]

Kiwi trainer Cameron Jones has been found to have, and has admitted, injecting his horse Johnny Nevitts with a substance on race day. There is however a major problem. Jones has given sworn evidence to the Racing Integrity Board that the substance injected was a product named Flexadin. Flexadin is not sold in injectable form. […]
This is absolute and utter bullshit too. Cam Jones is lying through his teeth. The Canary – the unlicensed syndicator Andrew Fitzgerald – is too. It was not the benign collagen like substance Flexadin that was in that syringe that Cam Jones injected into Johnny Nevitts before the Addington race at all. He is making […]
As we predicted a year or so ago, all of the police charges laid against harness racing identities flowing from New Zealand’s Operation Inca have been dropped. That was as expected. Now the real fun begins. The RIB wants the police to hand over their evidence so that it can be considered in relation to […]
A Kiwi pacer named Victor Bravo had raced 14 times coming in to race 4 at Addington yesterday, and the best it could manage was one second and a third, both of them more than eight months ago in 2YO races against very ordinary opposition. About 4 weeks ago the horse was sold, and about […]
