What you see at the top is New Zealand harness racing rule 869(3)(b). Can you read what it says in red? Any time a driver hits a wheel it is an offence, punishable by a fine or suspension. Junior driver Seth Hill knows this. He recently shifted in and hit another driver’s wheel during a […]
A gold star to the HRV Stewards for smarts. They keep the two greatest champions of the modern era under all day watch, but don’t do the same to any of Jason Grimson or Emma Stewart’s. I get that they were trying to protect their employer’s bonus, but as HRV have told us a million […]
https://www.racenet.com.au/news/group-1-jockey-kyle-wilsontaylor-banned-19-days-after-causing-interference-to-multiple-runners-20260217 Kyle Wilson-Taylor was only charged with careless riding for knocking over half the field at Doomben last Saturday week.

What the hell is this long and detailed Stewards report that ends nowhere at all about? I reckon they are targeting the Livingstone’s, for no good reason at all. Brent Livingstone’s twin is having a presently having a few problems with the police and the law, but I am not my brother’s keeper, and Clint […]

He gets to the front after about a lap and then he sticks his whip in the air and looks back behind him. He is looking for Ben Weidenbach’s horse the 8, and is signaling to its driver Gaita Pullicino to […]
Story by Jon Tuxworth Furious trainer Peter Luttrell has declared his horse was “robbed” of winning Sunday’s Hobart Cup and will seek legal advice after TasRacing admitted a starting barrier blunder ensured the race was run several metres short of the scheduled distance. The Imogen Miller-trained Blonde Star, an outsider paying more than $31, won […]

Here is Kim’ response: ‘THERE has been some commentary and opinions […]
The word out of the Brekky Creek bunker is that Crayons has been appointed the new Chief Steward at Toowoomba. It is a curious appointment, for Crayons is a chap named Clayton Warren, a young bloke who used to work on the barriers up at the races here in North QLD about a decade ago, […]
Cherries On Top was probably a false favorite at $2.25 to win race 6 at Albion Park yesterday. The filly was drawn well in 2 but is a slow beginner, and was up in class. But based on her two recent wins at Redcliffe punters had a right to believe that she would be driven […]
