Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
They are lengths not metres BTW Is there anyone on earth who can explain to me how a 2-year-old colt named Sugar Apple that couldn’t run any faster than about 1.58 for the mile in New Zealand can get off a place just six weeks ago and reel off three successive victories in 1.56.1 at […]
Have a look at this will you? It is the most blatant piece of cheating I have ever seen in my life. The horse you are looking at is the one on the fence behind the leader, the one that is tiring and starting to drop out. Jack Callaghan drives it. Just watch what he […]

See that thing shining in the air? No, it’s not a UFO. It’s a thrown shoe in the trotters ID21 final, and it looks like Humble Ladd’s. There is no mention of it in the Stewards comments on the race results. It’s only 2 days later so the official report isn’t up yet, even though […]
What you see above is the Stewards Report from the 3rd round of ID21 heats held at Newcastle last Sunday. The Inter Dominion is – or was until this year, when Harness Racing NSW got hold of it and stuffed the whole thing up – the showcase event on the Southern Hemisphere racing calendar, and […]
I rang the NSW Stewards room this morning to clarify matters regarding the McCarthy and Morris suspensions, and their effect on ID21. By sheer chance the Chairman of Stewards Mr Clint Bentley happened to answer the phone. Mr Bentley was kind enough to field my questions and provide on the record answers. These are they […]
Earlier in the week we tipped you the greatest certainty ever outside of death and taxes when we prophesised that after our story about Luke McCarthy being ineligible to drive in 3rd round of ID21 heats and the final was published and read, the Menangle Stewards report from last Saturday the 4th of December would […]
They haven’t fudged the start date on Robbie Morris’s 21 day suspension commencing immediately as of 30 November. The suspension that tipped him out of driving in rounds 2 and 3 of the heats, or should have anyway under the rules. Morris of course drove. He is ineligible to drive on finals night as well. […]
Yesterday we write a story about harness trainer Stephanie Lippiatt and opine that the inquiry into her drive on a 50-1 shot at Menangle on the weekend was a double blind, as part of a three coconut trick. Lo and behold, the very next day at the very same track Lippiatt comes out and trains […]
