Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
It looks to us like a Ben Yole special. That’s no surprise given that every one of the 8 Darren Elder trained runners in the 1o horse field is owned by Yole’s major stable owners Aaron Bain and/or Summit Bloodstock, and 4 of the 8 are former Yole trained horses. Bain and Summit are like […]
As predicted in our story yesterday, a trespass notice has been, or is in the process of being, served on the NZ RIB head of integrity Neil Grimstone, after he allegedly unlawfully entered and remained upon a neighbouring property so that he could spy on Tim Vince’s place next door. Vince’s neighbour has issued the […]
In the story below that we published in April we told you that Ben Yole didn’t have workers compensation insurance for the young workers who were injured in the terrible accident on the way home from the races in Hobart as required by law, and that he was underpaying their rightful entitlement to wages.

How can Ben Yole accept at 9.30 am Tuesday with two horses Heartburn Bruce in race 7 and 8 Andaman Dayin at Ballarat this Friday, and then half an hour later at 10.00 accept with the same two horses in races 4 and 7 at Hobart on the same day? https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fields/race-fields/?mc=BA101123 https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fields/race-fields/?mc=EH101123 It should be […]

What the hell was Gary Hall doing with his drive on the $1.30 favourite Never Ending in the WA Derby at Gloucester Park on Friday night? It stunk to high heaven. Hall is the stable driver for his father Gary Hall Jr, who had 4 runners in the race. Hall Junior knows those horse’s intimately, […]
See how Marcus Wilson had 5 of the acceptances in this 9 horse race at the Gold Coast yesterday, and scratched 4 of them? The minimum field size in Queensland is five. You need that many final acceptors to run a race. They didn’t have enough at the close of acceptances so the noms were […]
