Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
We’ve all heard of trainers giving horses an easy run, but this is ridiculous. Tambo’s Justice joined the Georgie Holt stable in October just weeks after it has trialed for Tony Gollan over 1050m at Deagon and finished 2nd last beaten 8.25 lengths. On the 6th of November the horse trialed for Holt over 850m […]
Anything HRV can do, Harness Racing NSW can do better. Or worse, depending on which lens you are looking at the Menangle pre-race swab (PRS) regime from. Only 1 of the favorites on the 8 race card in Sydney was PRS. That Seaton Grima trained runner was also the only 1 of the 4 odds-on […]
Every race on Breeders Crown Finals night at Melton on Saturday was a Group 2 carrying prizemoney of between $50 000 – $100 000. You would expect HRV’s swabbing regime employed on such a program to be at least the same level of class, of preferably for it to be Group 1 standard. Instead it […]

Roy Rogers, a handy man on the trigger who kills innocent horses without remorse These are the four young horses that WA trainer Roy Rogers killed by shooting them in the head. None of the deaths were justified. These horses weren’t sick or injured. None of them had a current racing embargo in place. They […]
Hello As you’re probably aware Ben Yole’s associate Robert Walters (pictured at top) is on the Tasmania unpaid forfeits list, which disqualifies him from participation in the industry. https://nre.tas.gov.au/racing/disqualified-warned-off-and-forfeits-list#Harness-ForfeitListbr He certainly can’t own horses and definitely can’t be in contact or associate with licensed people. Have a look at the ownership of Always Be Brendan […]
I’m just a mug punter having a few bets to try and scrape quid, not an expert horseman, but there are a few things you learn when you watch horse races every waking hour of every day. One of them is that when the Stewards approve a horse wearing ear muffs pre-race only to help […]
Hey Archie Help a bloke out here & tell me how a trainer charged with animal welfare breaches can be given a stay of proceedings that allows them to continue to train? The parasite I refer to is Nicholas Howlett (pictured), the same trainer who raced a dog with cocaine in it’s system and tried […]
We wrote a few days ago about how Jason Grimson had been the target of multiple recent without notice stable inspections by Stewards coming to out of competition swab his horses, particularly 4-6 day out from race day window withing which wise men say a sharpie must give their gee-gees the good gear.
