Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
The man who operates a southern New South Wales property that he says is at the centre of an investigation into hundreds of dead horses is denying any wrongdoing. On Wednesday, Wagga Wagga City Council revealed it was leading a joint investigation into the discovery of more than 500 horse carcasses on a property near the […]
The man suspected to be responsible for, or involved in, the deaths of the 500 horses whose remains were found in a dry creek bed just outside of Wagga is Adrian Talbot, who early in 2023 was deemed an exluded person for the purposes of rehoming racehorses in NSW, an action that banned him from […]
Isn’t it curious that the brumby rehomer who ‘saved’ 500 horses – the same number that were found dead on the property of unlicensed slaughterman Adrian Talbot, the brother of the Wagga Greyhound Club’s president Ben Talbot – is friends with the Wagga rachorse trainer Trevor Sutherland? In 2020 Sutherland was disqualified for 3 years […]
A lot of trot people won’t like this, but the new cognitive testing requirements introduced by Harness Racing NSW are a hugely positive thing. I grew up watching and worshipping Tke King Wally Lewis, the greatest rugby league player of my lifetime. One of the toughest too. Wally’s ability to take a hard knock and […]
Joe Nien is an old pacer now aged 9. No 9YO gets any faster than they were than when they were young as a general rule. But Joe breaks the rules. Last night he had his 2nd run back in the stable of Leon Jurd, the best mate and private trainer for Rex Horne, the […]
What sort of drive was this by Jack ‘Turbo’ Trainor on the horse on the leader’s back? It was the 2nd favorite, the leader was the fave. The one in front went relatively slow times for the first 3 quarters. It was blindingly obvious that Turbo needed to come out of the position behiond it […]
A trotter moves its legs forward in diagonal pairs (right front and left hind, then left front and right hind striking the ground simultaneously), whereas a pacer moves its legs laterally (right front and right hind together, then left front and left hind). Pacers propel themselves forward by using their front and backs legs on […]
So Robbie Waterhouse’s great-great-great grandson Thomas Jr fought Flash Bourke about a century before the infamous bookie married to Gai was born did he? Apparently so according to the article that Robbie proudly posted on Twitter yesterday. It’s often been said that the Waterhouse’s are freaks of nature. Now it appears that it’s been proven. […]
Bully Bourne was the long odds on favorite to win race 5 at Bathurst on Wednesday night, and quite rightly so given that it had won 3 of its previous four starts since joining the Seaton Grima stable. including one in 1.50 at Menangle and the most recent in 1.53.1 at Newcastle. Grima’s horse was […]
Watch this. That twirling baton/flying spear aimed straight at driver Emma Ison, and landed in her lap. Ison drove the horse that finished 2nd in the Cup. Ducking the baton/spear cost her 2 lengths. He horse was only beaten by one. The only mention of the bayonet/spear – which was actually a marker peg – […]
