Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The NSW Stewards have ordered Jason Grimson to place all of his horses in the retention barn from 12.00pm Sunday (today) until 8.00pm on Saturday 12 June. That means the horses are already there. But Houston, we have a problem. Grimson has only one horse entered to race this week. That horse is Hidden Courage, […]
This wise missive was sent in by a regular reader in response to our story about the Steward’s mistreatment of apprentice jockey Cody Collis Hello Archie Your article today articulates exactly what does happen in that and a lot of work places.

The entire harness racing Stewards panel in South Australia should be sacked and replaced tomorrow.

Why can’t these people just be honest? If they are going to do something naughty to a horse, what’s the problem with telling us all? Obviously the […]
Stewards inquired into an incident reported by Cadet Steward Mr J Steele regarding an incident that he allegedly witnessed in the stabling area subsequent to race 7 involving Mr R Pullen, the trainer of GIPSY TREASURE, and Ms S Gangell, the driver of BORDER CROSS. After taking evidence from Mr Steele, Ms Gangell, Mr Pullen […]
I told you ten days ago that Steve Fletcher’s former commission agent turned NSW Deputy Chief Gallops Steward Wade ‘Lurch’ Birch was soon to be leaving that role to take up the job of top cop at the dogs. As always, our mail was delivered early and in a packet marked CORRECT. Yesterday the […]
Hang on! Yesterday we wrote a story telling you how the Tasracing integrity officials had violated their own animal welfare policy by allowing a Ben Yole trained pacer named Mach Charm to race 6 times in 22 days when the maximum number of starts allowed in a month is five. What the Tasmanian Steward’s had […]
