Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Clayton Tonkin (trading as Emma Stewart, and pictured at top) has won the first free ride into ID22 with his pacer Honolua Bay. Is anyone surprised? Honolua Bay is a damn good horse, and always was, even before Tonkin got him and gave him the magic tickle. Now he’s a superstar. Victoria’s no 1 driver […]
A little while ago we wrote a story questioning why the ID21 prizemoney hadn’t been paid. Less than a week later Harness Racing NSW paid it. No-one reads Peter Profit. No-one who doesn’t matter anyway. You owe me a drink owners. I will have a Johnnie Walker blue thanks.
Speculation is flying far and wide about the reason that two months after the event, Harness Racing NSW has still not paid the connections of any horse that won prize money during the Inter Dominion 2021 series a cent that they are owed. This includes not just the finalists, but stakes won in the heats […]
I’ve always said Alleluia Lombo was the best money we every spent, even before this weekend! My name is on the ownership papers, but the horse definitely belongs to the whole family – Julie Duffy, ID21 winning owner This is the ownership registration form that anyone who owns a pacer must lodge with Harness Racing […]
Here is a controversial one for you. The Victorian Stewards pinned driver Jack Laugher for improper driving on Saturday night, that improper driver being turning his right heel in the stirrups of the sulky so that his foot would make contact with his drive Magic Mike’s hind legs. In other words, they got him for […]
I would never have looked at the drivers feet if Jason Grimson hadn’t tried to pot David Moran for having his out on National TV. You bloody idiot Jason. It wasn’t Moran hocking. It was Josh Gallagher! It’s as clear as day on the slowed down video below. There is no reason for Expensive Ego’s […]
The only people allowed in the Stewards room during a protest hearing are the stipes, the drivers, trainers and owners involved in the objection, and the media if the Stewards permit them to be there. No-one else can go in. This is written into the rules. So why was the Harness Racing NSW CEO John […]
Where is the Head on Replay of the Interference in the ID21 Final? Why haven’t HRNSW published the head on footage of the action in the home straight in the ID pacers final? The protest was the biggest harness racing news of the year, and the most controversial too. Where is the vision? Jason Grice’s […]
Relating to sulkies Rule AHR. 170. (1) (a) A driver shall, throughout the course of a race, drive with both feet in the rests of the sulky, unless he is activating approved gear. (b) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (a) hereof, when activating approved gear by foot, the driver’s foot shall not be moved in a downwards direction […]
You have never seen a more blatant case of foul driving in a big race than David Moran’s. He looked to his right. No-one there. Then he feels a horse to his left. It is Boncel Benjamin. Moran stares at him. Then he grabs the left rein tight and shifts his body weight and steers […]
