Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
International globetrotting steward Pete ‘the Plodder’ Chadwick started work at Harness Racing Victoria on the weekend, with the great man sitting on the panels at both the Group 1 Southern Stars and Hunter Cups meetings on Friday and Saturday night respectively. Chadwick sat ON the panels, he didn’t CHAIR them. The reason for that is […]
The rumor mill is running at a million miles an hour that the Harness Racing NSW lab has introduced new testing technology that allows it to test and retest swab samples to detect previously undetectable traces of EPO, and that the scientists have being doing exactly that over the past month and continue to do […]
Kerry Ann Morris used to be Kerry Ann Turner, until she got married. Her husband is Robbie Morris. Many say that he is the trainer for the stable too. Robbie Morris’s godfather is his dad Peter Morris’s best mate. John Dumesny is the fellow’s name. He’s the CEO of Harness Racing NSW (HRNSW). HRNSW are […]
I am presently representing a mate of mine in a racing appeal at QCAT. It’s something I do from time to time to help people I’m friends with who have been victims of what I perceive to be injustice put things right. Whilst I recently lost a battle, I have never lost a war. What […]
New Zealand driver Phil Burrows is due to face the music today for being caught doping one of horses Rakero Rebel in a race on Cup Day, ably assisted in his unlawful actions by no less that Matthew Anderson (aka Vanderklay), the disqualified fraudster, drug dealer and woman basher who was infamously supported by Harness […]

For a long time now I have been telling you that the NSW swabbing regime at Menangle is off. The Stewards proved it again last night. In the main race of the night there were only three horses in the betting market, the McCarthy trained Spirit of St Louis at $2.40 and Bondi Lockdown at […]
Chad Schofield rode a double at Rosehill yesterday, but it was a strange, strange day for the son of Glyn, and one so lucky that you’d hope he went straight from the course to the newsagent to buy himself a lotto ticket. In race 2 Schofield weighed in more than a kilogram over on the […]
I don’t know what you make of race 5 at Doomben on Wednesday, but personally I am not quite sure it was on the level. The Stewards of course disagree, but that’s because they don’t do or know form. The horse in question that I reckon was off was the $1.50 favorite Nashira, trained by […]
The word out of the Brekky Creek bunker is that that the Stewards in charge of the swab attendants and the pre race swabs they took on Saturday last week at Magic Millions MK1 have had a wee accident. Scott Heidke is one of them, Kim Daly is the other. It appears that the pair […]
