Too Much Money, Too Few Ideas
This is Harness Racing NSW’ new ad for the Carnival of Cups. It is in our view totally inane. Some had too much money to spend and too few ideas. Just ask Mini Me. And tell him to get a haircut.
Mix-Up at Bulli Results in Accidental Ring-In – Winner and Kennel Mate Disqualified
The 2 won race two at Bulli tonight. Or so it seemed. Looks can be deceiving. The 2 was actually the 3, wearing the wrong rug. Both dogs are trained by Angela Murray. Murray or her representative put the striped rug on the red brindle bitch Rainy Dream and the white rug on the red […]
Will Rixon Pulls Out of the Way to Let Cameron Hart Through
Watch the horse in the yellow and white, in front on the rail as the film rolls. It’s driver Will Rixon pulls it off the fence to let Cameron Hart behind him in the blue and gold through. Then Rixon turns and looks, and sees that Hart doesn’t quite have enough room to get up […]
The Grimson Train is Back at the Station
After a by his own standards relatively quiet winter, Jason Grimson has returned to peak form with a bang. Four out of four he won, including three of the four heats of the Carousel, and the Free For All Listed Classic. Look out for Swayzee next start is all I can say. The way Grimson […]
One Helluva Turnaround – Super Seaton is Back, Bigger and Bolder Than Ever

What The?
I used to thing trainer Mick Stanley was one of the good guys, but after the win of his 3-year-old Sao Paolo Simba at Menangle today I am no longer sure. Sao Paolo Simba had raced 11 times coming into today’s race and won 4 and placed 3. He had raced at Menangle 5 times […]
One For the Good Guys
Colin McDowell celebrates his Breeders Blue win with a feed Have you ever heard of the standardbred sire Lord Zin Zan? No? Me either. That’s because in five years at stud he has only ever served 12 mares who have produced just nine live foals. His runner to winner record is alright though, for four […]
The ATC Chairman Wants To Be Paid
Gai’s smiling ‘cos Tim Hale SC pays his bills. Shame every lawyer doesn’t share the same values. Newly elected Australian Turf Club (ATC) Chairman Tim Hale SC is, as the initials after his name suggest, an eminent barrister in his day job. As anyone who has ever had the pleasure/misfortune of having to engage counsel […]
What Else Could Go Wrong For Harness Racing NSW In What Was Meant To Be It’s Biggest Week?
Mr and Mrs Tatts on their wedding day. Wonder how they paid for the swish spread? Tonight’s The Eureka was supposed to be the race that put harness racing back in the headlines. The trots have been in the headlines this week, but it had nothing to do with The Eureka. First the NSW Racing […]
Jason Grimson’s Mate Tatts Locked Up on Serious Drug Charges – Drug Ring Allegedly Operating Out of Menangle Park
Remember Jason Grimson’s mate Justin Downey, the bloke who in our stories we call Tatts? This is him. Downey’s wife is alleged to have sold more than 600g – over half a kilogram – of meth in just 3 days. She got bail. He didn’t. Oh dear. The net closes in. EXCLUSIVE – ELIZA BARR, […]
