Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
If you can’t see something with this race the you are blind. It is race 5 at Mackay on Thursday. The $1.35 favourite is Big Jake, ridden by Justin Stanley. Ridden stone cold dead, in the most disgraceful of manners. Stanley took Big Jake straight back to last, and kept it there until it was […]
What you see above is the Stewards Report from the 3rd round of ID21 heats held at Newcastle last Sunday. The Inter Dominion is – or was until this year, when Harness Racing NSW got hold of it and stuffed the whole thing up – the showcase event on the Southern Hemisphere racing calendar, and […]
I rang the NSW Stewards room this morning to clarify matters regarding the McCarthy and Morris suspensions, and their effect on ID21. By sheer chance the Chairman of Stewards Mr Clint Bentley happened to answer the phone. Mr Bentley was kind enough to field my questions and provide on the record answers. These are they […]
Well, the storm keeps getting worse, and it is sleety and cold all around and about, and the sea is running higher than somewhat, and now one night off the Jersey coast when I am sleeping as peacefully as anything, I am awakened by a great to-do and it seems that the Castilla is on fire.

No matter how many tatts you have Pele, it’s hard to look tough when you’re bald, four foot three and bash sheilas Wanderson D’Avila is best known for hitting women, not men. A sneak cowardly elbow delivered at speed in a race sits at about the same depth of indecency as hitting a woman though, […]
Robert (Robbie) Morris is one of NSW’s leading reinspersons. He is also the Godson of the Harness Racing NSW CEO John Dumesny. On Tuesday the 30th of November 2021, in the home stretch in the first race at Menangle, Robbie Morris hit the galloping mare Skyzclearnsunny that he was driving with his whip. The mare […]
This is what you should do when a horse dies at the races. Take a post-mortem sample. Skellig Lass showed every sign of having bled to death. Just like the high class NZ 3YO Mexicana seemed for all the world to have died as a result of hitting its head on the ground. The poor […]
