Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Goodzolphin Racing isn’t having a lot of luck lately. First former trainer and shareholder of the operation Aaron Goadsby got sent out for three months after one of the stable’s pacers threw a positive swab to Bute. Next Goadsby got warned off until he handed over his business phones to Stewards upon demand during his […]
Cameron Hart (left) with Swayzee’s trainer Jumpin’ Jason Grimson Swayzee suffered a shock defeat at Menangle last night, going down to Max Delight at odds of $1.10 after appearing to have every possible chance. Did he have every chance though, or was his loss directly attributable to driver error? Swayzee had raced four times over […]
Written Scandal looked well-weighted in the fifth race at Canterbury, with the last start winner to carry only 59kg in the BM64 after apprentice Braith Nock’s two kilogram claim. Punters like Kingsley Bartholomew certainly thought so, for they backed the horse from $4.80 into $2.60 at the jump. There was something none of them knew […]

I wonder what the renowned lover of sand, surf and sea Damion Flower is doing right now. More than likely he is sitting quietly in his prison cell, dressed in standard issue greens, staring up at stains on a colorless ceiling, wondering how it all went so wrong so quick, just as he will be […]
There are jobs aplenty at Harness Racing NSW for enthusiastic people right now. Are you an experienced Stipendiary Steward? Then HRNSW wants you to fill a vacancy that has arisen on the panel. A position is also open for a Cadet Steward. You need to be squeaky clean, super keen, and to pass a probity […]
What the hell was Tom Ison doing on the leader here? Ison worked it over to get it to the front, and then without any care at all for the runners behind him he just jammed his down hard on the brakes and stopped to almost a crawl. It was a miracle that the one […]
I know its a bit late to criticize a jockey’s ride last weekend, but I have been waiting for someone to say something about Josh Parr’s ride on Shezanalister in the last at Rosehill on Saturday and no-one has, so we will. Parr slaughtered Shezanalister. The Bjorn Baker trainer horse should have won by panels. […]
