In what sport in the world are a bunch of largely unqualified officials left to decide whether breaking the rules to win okay or not? Mmm, Ben Johnson was juiced up on Stanozolol, but would he have won the 100m gold at the Seoul Olympics if he wasn’t IOC Ian? Of course he would have […]

LGHR has been reliably informed that in excess of 40 people – we find it hard to believe – have departed since the new ‘Dream Team’ took control of the Queensland Racing Integrity Commission. The old adage ‘dispense with those who represent a threat’ is alive and kicking at this under-performing, over-funded Labor Government enterprise […]
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.
