Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Cameron Fitzpatrick was a star of the NSW harness racing scene in the early part of the century who by the time he reached his mid-20’s had won a Metropolitan Drivers Premiership and been awarded the prestigious Harold Park Medal, and was considered one of the top ten horseman in the industry. What no-one knew […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/nsw/PEC13062405.mp4 Take a look at the replay above of race 1 at Penrith last night, and ask yourself this question. Was Josh Gallagher on the grey horse driving to win the race? Or was he driving to get the odds on favorite in the lead beaten? It sure looks like the latter to me. The […]
On Friday 15 March 2024 Harness Racing NSW (HRNSW) Stewards commenced an Inquiry into the late scratching of the horses WHODAT BOODAT, BUTTER CUP, MY ULTIMATE LEVI and MOOPS from the Broken Hill Harness Race Meeting on that date. The inquiry was adjourned to allow Stewards to obtain further information in relation to the scratchings […]
The dangers of lodging an ill thought out appeal to the NSW Harness Racing Appeals Panel were again higlighted last month in the case of Lleyton Green v HRSW. Green was appealing a 3 week suspension that he had incurred on a charge of causing or contributing to interference in a race at Penrith early […]
Have you ever seen a half-time score like this in your life? It’s the right one, but it sure would start t0 look like overs if a maroons player got sent off early in the second half.

Jack Trainor has seen the writing on the wall and done an Emma Stewart overnight. All of his stable horses – including last start Group 1 winner Aardies Express – have been transferred to Jason Grimson in the past 24 hour, with the transfers approved by Harness Racing NSW. That’s what you call jumping before […]
The mail is that Jack Trainor’s soon to be announced second positive swab involves another NZ import from the Souh Island, which shouldn’t surprise anyone, for plenty of the trainers there are dodgy and so are some of the vets. Apparently it took the world’s number 1 racing analytic facility the Hong Kong Racing Laboratory […]
During the week we made trenchant criticism 0f the HRNSW for seemingly failing to take tissue samples from the body of the pacer Saginaw after he was euthanised on track at Menangle following an alleged colic attack. Less than a week later, on the opposite side of country, another pacer had the terrible misfortune to […]
I am not suggesting that 21-year-old reinsman Lucas Rando drove the even money favorite Gandalf dead in the 4th race at Newcastle last, or that his steer night was anything other than above board. I am sure that it was. But if you ever wanted to show someone how to drive a horse to get […]
Saginaw has bled NUMEROUS TIMES. He was a bleeder when they received it in QLD. This is why it was always driven for one run; it never did any work in the run. It was a speedy horse so they wouldn’t put it away. When it spelled it’s come back bleeding heavier. Summit rarely spell […]
