Helluva is a 7-year-old pacer who has been running around racetracks since the year 2020, and in that time has saluted te judge in first place on 12 occasions, but in all of his wins the horse has never run a race in a faster mile rate than 1.54.9. That win came 2 years ago over […]
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 […]
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 […]

We learned this week of the disgraceful actions of former licensed NSW stable hand Samantha Murphy, who neglected a number of retired racehorses in her care so badly that they died, and then left their putrefied corpses lying out in a 120 acre paddock to rot. The horses had been cast into the paddock and […]
Story by Julian Linden, Daily Telegraph Ben Sarina, a lifelong trotting driver battling mental health demons after being booted out of the sport during the infamous ‘green-light scandal’, is again pleading with NSW harness racing authorities to give him a second chance after a supreme court judge ruled the body overstepped its powers by banning […]
To suggest that he was a person affected by rules which were implemented to govern an industry in which he was prohibited from participating, defies common sense – NSW Racing Appeals Panel decision in Ben Sarina v Harness Racing NSW Now as we have written a million times and have plastered all over this website […]
