Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
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 […]
Jason Grimson – the trot trainer that Captain Ravishing’s owner Hass Taiba called the Greatest of All Time – has this afternoon been disqualified for 12 months in relation to his role in the brawl at Albion on Blacks a Fake night. Jack Trainor has been outed for three months. Grimson must hid harder, which […]
There are some funny rumours floating around about the propriety of the ownership of the John Singleton slot in the Eureka. I cannot vouch for this, other than to say that the two unconnected people who told me about it can. They say that there is a silent 2/3rd’s share holder in the slot. The […]
Benji Marshall was born in Whakatane in the North Island of New Zealand, where he lived until he lived until he got offered a rugby league scholarship in Queensland, 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.

On the 31st of August 2022, and then again on the 9th of December 2022, without any fanfare at all or public any public statement about the matter, Harness Racing Australia repealed the racing rules that required owners of horses to notify either they or the State Controlling Body – or both – that a […]
This is the list of supposed currently suspended drivers published on harnessweb, a site run by Harness Racing Australia. Sharyn Slater’s name should not be on it. Her career ended in 2005 after a horrific accident on the track at Carrick. Sadly in 2017 Sharyn died. It’s not very respectful having her name published on […]
The ABC expose of Ben Yole’s nefarious activities is the biggest scandal in harness racing for a decade. And it has only just begun. Yole’s animal welfare abuses are the subject of episodes in the locker that will be released over the coming days and weeks. His abuses of humans will feature too. This is […]
