Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Well, well, well. Look at this. Peter Lamb is the name you are looking at, the starter at Melton. Lamb is the man who got sacked in New Zealand for hooking the start of last year’s NZ Trotting Cup, the one in which his mate Mark Purdon’s horse Self Assured got a flying start from […]
The man in charge of Tuesday’s controversial New Zealand Cup start has been replaced. Long-time Canterbury harness racing starter Peter Lamb was informed by host club Addington he will no longer be their starter, with the role going to former assistant starter Ricky Donnelly. The start of Tuesday’s $540,000 Group 1 great race was widely […]
Dr NAPTHINE (South-West Coast) — My question without notice is to the Minister for Racing, and I ask: can the minister confirm that the newly appointed general manager, integrity services, with Racing Victoria, Mr Dayle Brown, was investigated and disciplined for misuse of his Victoria Police identification in South Australia when he was on a […]
Do you reckon that James Innes Jr was fair dinkum on Blueskin in the Eve Security Services Maiden Plate at Gosford on Friday? I very much doubt it. Blueskin was a first starter coming into this off two trials. In the first of them a month ago he jumped like a rabbit with Innes on […]
Lachie Manzelmann is a talented driver, but unfortunately he is a most reckless and dangerous one too, as he proved in the first race at Redcliffe last night. The further question is whether there is something else behind his crazy drive in this race as well. There were two chances in the first last night, […]
New Zealand Racing Integrity Board chief Mike Clements has a real problem with his organisation, one that in the main is totally beyond his control. The problem is the adjudicators. Most of them don’t a thing about harness racing, or don’t understand it, or both. Olivia Jarvis is one of them. Jarvis a young criminal […]
There is something wrong about this race. A few things actually. I don’t know what they mean. They are just odd. I will list them by number. 1. Chris Barsby’s Call Will they catch Rancho Man? Will they catch Rancho Man? Repetition is not Chris Barsby’s go. Was this code? If so, to who? 2. […]
A week ago I wrote about the moral dilemma of bagging a race cheat who is dying of cancer. I didn’t know whether it was right or wrong. Well the race cheat has answered the question. A cheat is a cheat whether they are sick or well, and a cheat who doubles down on his […]
What a pair of numb nuts. Two thick as jockeys swapping urine in a piss test; and thinking that they are going to get away with it. It’s not the 1980’s boys. Cindy Lauper is on the pension now. Why would you do it? I know why Boutet did it, because his urine was dirty. […]
The statistical sample size is far too small to be scientific, and no doubt it is just sheer coincidence and the time of year, but the odd correlation between HRV Integrity Chief Brent Fisher’s departure from the role and the Emma Stewart stable’s loss of form has set tongues wagging around the Victorian tracks. Fisher […]
