Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
They must have taught maths differently at HRV CEO Matthew Isaacs school than they did at mine in Geebung, because his calculations make no sense to me. Isaacs says that HRV have had roughly a $3o million improvement on last year GARETH HALL: “So you’ve gone from a $26 million loss to …. what did […]
Harness Racing in Victoria is in an awful mess. Years of poor governance and management, featuring prizemoney raised to levels during the COVID-19 betting boom that could never be sustainable, a bloated bureaucracy at all levels, and non-racing expenses ballooning out of control, has left the sport all but destitute and forced to surrender the […]
Harness Racing Victoria talks a lot about its HERO rehoming program, but tells us very little. How many retired pacers and trotters a year does HERO rehome? Who knows? The annual report of HRV doesn’t tell us, and neither does either their own website thetrots.com.au or the HERO website hrvhero.com.au. All we know is that […]
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, and it saddens me immensely to say it, but Victorian harness racing is fucked. Absolutely and utterly rooted. All of Melton pretty much bar the track and buildings are gone, sold to pay off debt. Harness Racing gets nothing out of it except some savings on […]
You didn’t really expect the stewards to penalise Cam for running over a few pegs in the Vic Cup did you? They didn’t penalise him for hocking Swayzee in the Hunter Cup remember, so why start now?

What a great night of racing it was at Melton on Saturday night, all the fun of the fair. The Derby heats were just fab. Here is how they rolled. HEAT ONE – DERBY The first heat was always going to be a very tactical affair after the top two fancies Hesitate and Fox Dan […]
We have written a number of times previously about the manifest inequities in penalties between NSW and the rest of the nation for trainers whose horses throw positive swabs to cobalt, and the decision in the case of Menangle based trainer Tony Bertwistle provides another vivid highlighting of the issue. Tony Bertwistle, a former Lone […]
Ben Xiriha is a licensed Grade A Victorian trot driver. He posted this on his public Facebook page. The “weak gutless piece of shit” that he is referring to is an individual Steward. “You cunts” that he refers to telling last time are the Stewards collectively. Oh dear. Methinks Ben Xiriha just booked himself a […]
See Young Bluey storm up the sprint lane to finish 2nd in the first race at Melton on Saturday night? Now look at this. Young Bluey runs over one peg and inside three. When he goes inside the second peg half of his body is inside the marker line. His driver Matt Craven has taken […]
