Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Back to yesterday’s about the ongoing rort being openly pulled by the Dunn stable in New Zealand, whose horses are falsely registered as being trained by John Dunn’s father and wife so that he can circumvent the rules about trainers driving their own horses. Well it didn’t take long for an illustration of the rort […]
So there it is. New Zealand’s premier racing writer and harness racing media identity openly admitting that the whole Robert and Jenna Dunn training set-up is a scam. Robert Dunn can’t train the largely South Island based team because he lives in the north. And Jenna Dunn doesn’t train them because she can’t. John Dunn trains […]
Michael Poy was allegedly communicating with the punter who was paying him for information on which horses to back and which ones to lay using disappearing messages on the encrypted app Signal. That sounds like an excellent idea if you are fixing races by pulling horses up, because the last think you want to do […]

A couple of days away we wrote about how Team Yole and their backers had devised a plan to get around Tasracing’s Equity in Participation policy by getting Robert “Honest Bob” (because he isn’t) Walters licensed so that they could split the Yole horses among he and Wayne Yole and thus flood and stack the […]
As you will all recall, Tasracing wrote to you last week advising that it would not issue new warning off notices to the four participants adversely named in the Murrihy Report. We arrived at this decision after the Tasmanian Racing Appeals Board overturned the racetrack bans on these individuals imposed by Tasracing in April. After […]
Stewards questioned licencee Mr Robert Walters’, concerned with evidence he had tendered at a previous licence inquiry. At the commencement of today’s inquiry Mr Walters admitted submitting to ORI falsified documents. Stewards, after investigating the circumstances into why and how Mr Walters had falsified the documents, subsequently charged him for breaching Australian Harness Racing (AHR) […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/nsw/PEC13062405.mp4 Take a look at the replay above of race 1 at Penrith last night, and ask yourself this question. Was Josh Gallagher on the grey horse driving to win the race? Or was he driving to get the odds on favorite in the lead beaten? It sure looks like the latter to me. The […]
Most of us will remember Willie Wonka’s ever lasting gobstopper that he manufactured in the Chocolate Factory. The QRIC Stewards from the Home Hill meeting on the 28th of December last year obviously liked it, for they have adopted the approach when it comes to adjourned inquries. They never end. An inquiry was convened into […]
