Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The word out of Woodend Beach this morning is that a private meeting was held early today between Robert Dunn, John ‘Lurch’ Dunn, and senior stable employees Craig Edmond and Gary Lane. They say that the topic was covert surveillance being conducted outside the property by investigators from the Racing Integrity Board, NZ’s version of […]
Now I am not a registered lawyer, so I can’t give you legal advice, and won’t. But I can give you a couple of important tips. In the course of doing something recently, I had cause to look very closely at the Rules of Greyhound Racing, and their interaction with the law prescribed in the […]
About 12 years ago the racing steward Paul O’Toole got arrested and then convicted of taking bribes of circa $400 grand from harness racing trainers and drivers in return for not swabbing their horses. It became known as the Green Light Scandal. The amount that O’Toole actually copped for his crooked acts was much higher, […]
Do you know what’s bad and sad about harness racing? There is trench mentality about protecting your own. The Trot industry is like a big Catholic family. They fight like shit inside the walls, but touch one you touch all, and no-one ever gives anyone else up. No-one likes a dog, but some things are […]
So the RIB would follow him. And not walk into someone else’s place instead. Or so they think. I’d be checking the roof and the trees if I was them. What am I talking about? The person that dobbed Phil Burrows and Matt Anderson into the RIB. Or the the dupe they assumed didn’t know. […]
A portrait of a drug taking, woman bashing, fraudster and coward as a young man Matthew ‘Matt’ Anderson is a drug dealing violent offender who once bashed and choked a woman he claimed to love, leaving her covered in bruises and cowering in fear of her life. In June 2020 he was convicted of assault […]
Racing NSW confirmed yesterday that Neil Boyle, the Steward with a huge stain of alleged jigger use and drenching on his head, no longer works in that State. QRIC has confirmed that he doesn’t work here either. So where is? Playing with model trains. Boyle has got some sort of job working for Aurizon, the […]
The latest news out of Christchurch on Cup morning is somewhat shocking. They say the alleged kiddy-fiddling trainer-driver whose case will one day go trial is widely known to have been accused of a similar course of disgraceful action toward and against a stablehand as far back as 20 years ago. The accused pedo wasn’t […]
Well we were wrong about Neil Boyle being a Steward in QLD, but not by far, and we are not wrong about the rest. Boyle is now a Steward in Northern NSW. I bet PVL didn’t know that he used jiggers as a trainer when he appointed him. It gets worse. Since we published the […]
Just a day after we wrote about the case of the well-known NZ harness licensee accused of child abuse going to court next week, things have taken a probably not surprising new twist. Another victim has come forward and made a complaint about similar abuse by the licensee to police. This will obviously necessitate further […]
