Could the rumor coming out of New Zealand about a senior harness racing steward being involved in an intense personal relationship with a junior driver possibly be true? If it is, wouldn’t the steward have to disclose it to his employer? And wouldn’t the employer have to ensure that the steward was stood down from […]
Super Mario Borg must be up to some sort of mischief again. Why else would he have scratched all of his six runners from the Globe Derby meeting tonight? Did he scratch them, or have the Stewards done it for him? Who knows, but each of his entries are out. There has to be some […]

Take a look at the drive of John Kriechbaumer on the favorite Benjamin Button – the horse in the predominantly white colors – in the race below. What was this clown doing? Benjamin Buttons should have won by panels, and would have too if J. Kriechbaumer had driven him with any degree of competence. I […]
Why did Guy Looks Good go so bad in this race at Burnie on Sunday? If he really was tying up, then why? Was it because the Bain/Summit owned pacer hadn’t been exercised properly in the 7 weeks leading into this race? After all, lack of conditioning for a race is one of the major […]
