Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Kim Daly sat on the QLD Racing Review panel. No-one elected him. He was appointed by his childhood mate the Racing Minister. The review panel recommended huge changes to QRIC. QRIC employ the Stewards. And here Kim Daly is. How interesting. It’s only a rort if you are not in on it.
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/sa/GDC10012606.mp4 Have a look at the drive of Kevin Weidenbach on the 5 horse. He gets to the front after about a lap and then he sticks his whip in the air and looks back behind him.

Story by Jon Tuxworth Furious trainer Peter Luttrell has declared his horse was “robbed” of winning Sunday’s Hobart Cup and will seek legal advice after TasRacing admitted a starting barrier blunder ensured the race was run several metres short of the scheduled distance.

Gaita Pullicino (right) with husband and ‘trainer’ Frank In a letter we published by Ted From Tooleybuc (the letter was real, as is our usual practice only the name was changed) about Gaita Pullicino’s drive at Globe Derby on Sunday, Ted made certain statements that are not quite accurate.
