Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Mickey Muscat doesn’t have the greatest disciplinary record in the world that’s for sure. In the past 16 years he’s been put out twice for positive swabs, and it wasn’t that long ago that they let him back in. It didn’t last. Mickey’s pacer Knight Mariner threw an over the limit TCO read in the […]
The appeal in the case of QRIC v Darrell Graham was expected to provide the definitive decision on cobalt positives, by determining the issue of whether it was in fact the high speed, extreme temperature testing methods employed by the racing labs that were splitting ordinary vitamin B cells in such a way that it […]
Know how many favourites on the eight race card at Menangle last night got pre-race swabbed? Two. There were 16 pre-race tests taken in total. Only six of the sixteen horses tested were under $10 in the betting market. Seven of the other ten were $23 or more in the betting. Three of them were […]
In the day we sweat it out on the streets Of a runaway American dream At night we ride through the mansions of glory In suicide machines Sprung from cages on Highway 9 Chrome wheeled, fuel injected, and steppin’ out over the line Oh, baby this town rips the bones from your back It’s a […]
We have been trying to warn everyone for a long time now that the FBI racing busts in America were the beginning, not the end. For over a year now we have been writing stories telling you that the phone taps in the USA picked up drug cheats from all over the world talking about […]
A pacer named Bobsled Boy had twelve starts for experienced provincial trot trainer Kevin Weidenbach between 18 November 2021 and 16 February 2022. It didn’t win or run a place in any of them. The horse’s average beaten margin across them all was about 30 metres a race. It gets transferred to Alex Ashwood and […]
The idea of pre-race blood testing is to stamp out cheating. It only works when you test the right horses. Which makes you wonder why Harness Racing NSW don’t. I suspect we all know. It’s all just random they say. Just like the chook raffle at the pub where the barmaid palms the winning ticket […]
I am really not sure if there is any point writing this story. If there is anyone who by this stage doesn’t realise that Jason Grimson is drug cheat, then it means that they are brain dead stupid, and that no matter how many times you bash them over the head with the truth they […]
The University of Kentucky in the USA is working on the development of a thing known as a biological passport of a horse, a marker of what a non-doped racehorse looks like in it’s natural state. The purpose of the biological passport is that it can be used to identify horses that have been doped […]
We have written at length about the QRIC’s hidden budgetary issues that have hindered the QLD integrity agency’s capacity to perform pre-race blood testing at meetings outside of the majors, and the issue continues apace. It is making Queensland racing a milkshake maker’s paradise, and a lawless land where drenchers wander free and run rampant. […]
