Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Last night at Dubbo the 3-year-old pacer Our Sailor provided a very special Boxing Day present to it’s connections and to those who backed it from double figure odds into $5.50 – presumably one and the same – when it won the 4th race on the card from the breeze. It was a very clever […]
The bigger they are, the s0fter they fall argument was not of course the only determining factor in Emma Stewart being granted a stay, or indeed the major one. That one was gifted to Stewart’s legal team as a free kick from the other side, that side being the HRV Stewards. You see despite us […]
So Emma Stewart – Victoria’s leading trainer for almost the entire past decade – claims that she wasn’t aware of the one clear day administration rule. The same rule that has been in place for the entirety of her premiership winning reign. Really? Really? Oh yeah Emma, pull the other one, it plays jingle bells. […]
How can Ben Yole accept at 9.30 am Tuesday with two horses Heartburn Bruce in race 7 and 8 Andaman Dayin at Ballarat this Friday, and then half an hour later at 10.00 accept with the same two horses in races 4 and 7 at Hobart on the same day? https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fields/race-fields/?mc=BA101123 https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fields/race-fields/?mc=EH101123 It should be […]
The veil of silence over the Emma Stewart stable’s admission that it administered a substance of some sort to two horses on the day of the Vicbred Super Series is deafening. The actions of the HRV Stewards is baffling, leaving a myriad of troubling unanswered questions. What the hell is going on here? How do […]
This at top was the crowd at the Eureka 9 days ago at Menangle. This above was the crowd at Menangle just a week later on Saturday night. It seems that in all the excitement about a million dollars of harness racing money being injected into the Eureka on top of the cash from sales […]
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 […]
