Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Greg Bennett was once a champion trot driver, the best in NSW of his time. Then he got embroiled in the Green Light affair, and after deliberately handing over the wrong phone and then refusing to answer questions about it he was disqualified for 7 years. Since that disqualification ended in 2017 Bennett has made […]
What you are about to read in this and the stories to follow are the transcripts of discussions between corrupt then recently resigned HRNSW Stewards Matthew Bentley (now deceased) and Paul O’Toole, who was later jailed. In what became known as the Green Light affair, both stewards had been accepting bribes from crooked trainers and […]
Race six on the Randwick Kenso yesterday was the hottest gallops race I have seen for a long time. A mare named Hasty Honey ridden by Kerrin McEvoy was backed from $9.00 into $3.00. It jumped straight to the front. Every other jockey in the race put the handbrake on. J-Mac on the 5/4 favorite […]
If you might remember we broke this story before the Stewards had even realised that Jack Brown had substituted a urine sample provided to him secretly by Lucas Rando and claimed that it was his own. And HRNSW won’t even answer emails that we send to them asking questions about important matters. How odd. You’d […]
NSW driver Jack Brown was stood down on Monday for failing to provide a urine sample when required to by the Stewards who were random drug testing at the Goulburn meeting. It turns out though that Brown did actually provide a sample, one that was of less volume than outlined in the collection guidelines provided […]
Harness Racing NSW have thrown the kitchen sink at drivers Jack Brown and Lucas Rando for swapping urine samples when the random drug test team came to Goulburn at the end of October last year, and then they’ve put the boot in as well. Brown – the prime offender, who in his desperation to avoid […]

Every punter knows that the number of corporate bookmakers has exploded, with cashed up sharpies all over the country obtaining licenses to print money by using algorithms, the law of averages and incentives to lure in mug punters and strip they and their families of their hard earned dough. Bankers, IT professionals, marketing executives, investment […]
Have a look at the run down the home straight at Menangle on Saturday night and keep your eyes on the horse behind the leader and the one behind that. There was a protest lodged 3rd v 2nd. I thought watching the race that it should have been upheld. HRV Stewards disagreed. They decided that […]
It was a very Turnbull affair in the 5th race at Bathurst last night, with linear descendants of the legendary A.D. Turnbull turning out every one of the runners in the race. A.D.’s son Steve, an Inter-Dominion winner with Smooth Satin, trained four runners. Steve’s eldest son Nathan trained four too. Nathan’s younger brother Mitch […]
