Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Clayton. Emma. Summit. Bain. Congratulations to each of them for winning the Eureka. And to owner/breeder Tyson Linke too. His is a wonderful feat. I’m sure it is the thrill of a lifetime. A lucrative thrill too. It was a great drive by Luke McCarthy as well. Summit and Bain have got harness racing totally […]
We wrote a series of questions earlier this week about the Eureka which we shouldn’t have had to ask. Shouldn’t have had to because we already knew, or some bits off it anyway. These questions contained some inferences therein which I hope you understood. Here are two of the questions we asked. The 3rd Question […]
Can you see the problem with this picture? It’s a promo that Tabcorp put out yesterday for the Eureka. Look closer at the horse. See any hopples? What about it’s legs? The Eureka is a race for pacers. Pacers move two legs on the same side of the horse move forward together when they run, […]
I am hugely troubled by the above announcement, and for a number of different reasons. Allow me to explain them by asking a series of questions. I will be accused of negativity for doing so, but when every other harness racing journalist is on the payroll of one State Control Body or Harness Racing Australia […]

He then lived in the Gold Coast where he attended Keebra Park high school. After school he moved to Sydney to play for the Wests […]
As far as Victoria Harness racing goes I’ve sat back and been listening to interviews, had some discussions with people that know what they are talking about too. What it does highlight and Archie rightly pointed it out in one of his articles is that HRV is has less income coming in i.e the government […]
When we bid for a slot in the TAB Eureka we promised to use it as a chance to take the sport outside of its bubble. That’s the very reason we approached Charles. He’s not just a sporting superstar and celebrity, he’s one with a genuine love of harness racing and he’s the perfect fit. […]
Hello Archie All credit to Lauren Tritton for winning the big Group 1 in Ohio. What an achievement. She was the first female to drive in that race as well. I don’t think there have been many, if any, female drivers competing at that level in the US, we are way ahead of them in […]
