Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The rule is very clear isn’t it? A driver is not allowed to talk to anyone other than an official once they are on the track. That includes during the running of a race. Got it? Now watch this. Driver Bernie Hewitt in the white with red clearly turns his head and talks to Taleah […]
Want to know why the favorite Pereille got beaten in the last at the Valley yesterday? It wasn’t due to the track bias, or because of Blake Shinn’s ride either. Like you I blamed both, and was cursing each of them too. But we were both wrong. When I watched the replay I noticed something, […]
On 25 July 2023, the Victorian Racing Tribunal (VRT) considered eight charges issued by Harness Racing Victoria (HRV) Stewards against licensed driver Jayden Brewin under Australian Harness Racing Rules (AHRR) 173(1), 173(5), 187(2) and 238. Charges 1, 2 and 3 were issued under AHRR 173(1), which states: A driver shall not bet on a race […]
GRAPHIC WARNING: Shocking footage has captured frightened greyhounds being cornered and kicked at a South Australian property. The disgusting vision has sparked an independent inquiry into the greyhound racing industry, with two trainers hit with an immediate suspension. #9News pic.twitter.com/vQcOqebDiN — 9News Adelaide (@9NewsAdel) July 26, 2023
Rising star young trainer Cameron Ross, who recently moved over the desert to set up a training base with his true love and fellow trainer Jocelyn Young in Perth, has been stood down from all forms of racing across Australia by HRNSW Stewards after one of his winners in Sydney in February threw up a […]
The picture you see at the top is a still shot taken from the ring in race at Newcastle. As you can see, the heavily backed winner (later disqualified) Kozaczynski is wearing white harness, and 5the unplaced Artistic Scott is wearing black. Artistic Scott is wearing some sort of white cross over band on its […]
New information has come through in the middle of the night about the disqualification drama in the last at Newcastle on Friday night. It was a ring in! Kozaczynski went out and raced as Artistic Scott, and Artistic Scott raced as Kozaczynsi. And in the first instance the Stewards missed it all. Oh dear. The […]
A week and a half ago we wrote to the Harness Racing NSW Integrity Manager Michael Prentice about a start at Bathurst, the one in which half the front line missed the jump, but not the two starters trained out of the man in the mobile David Micallef ‘s barn. We asked Mr Prentice to […]
Aaron Goadsby has been in the news lately due to the deeds of his star 2-year-old Lovareschs. I strongly suspect that he is about to hit the headlines for a different matter completely, and one that is not a good news story either. Goadsby had 3horses in the last race at Newcastle on Friday night. […]
What you see above is a Facebook post made by Jett Turnbull’s understandably proud mum. The story that follows is not about the kid, or his mum. It’s about the integrity of racing.
