Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
As you can see from the Harness Racing NSW policy above, which the CEO is likely ignorant of, it is the Starters responsibility to make sure that the correct horses run under their right name in races. The Starter has to identify all horses entering the parade yard against the Brands report. They have to […]
Rising star young trainer Cameron Ross, who recently moved over the desert to set up a training base with his true love and fellow trainer Jocelyn Young in Perth, has been stood down from all forms of racing across Australia by HRNSW Stewards after one of his winners in Sydney in February threw up a […]
How bizarre is this? The Aaron Goadsby horses who ran under each others names at Newcastle on Friday night were not disqualified because they weren’t who they were supposed to be, but rather because they started from the wrong positions on the mobile. That appears queer to the extreme. Surely horse A starting as horse […]
The picture you see at the top is a still shot taken from the ring in race at Newcastle. As you can see, the heavily backed winner (later disqualified) Kozaczynski is wearing white harness, and 5the unplaced Artistic Scott is wearing black. Artistic Scott is wearing some sort of white cross over band on its […]
New information has come through in the middle of the night about the disqualification drama in the last at Newcastle on Friday night. It was a ring in! Kozaczynski went out and raced as Artistic Scott, and Artistic Scott raced as Kozaczynsi. And in the first instance the Stewards missed it all. Oh dear. The […]

Aaron Goadsby has been in the news lately due to the deeds of his star 2-year-old Lovareschs. I strongly suspect that he is about to hit the headlines for a different matter completely, and one that is not a good news story either. Goadsby had 3horses in the last race at Newcastle on Friday night. […]
So on Wednesday night a mentally ill disability pensioner in Glebe cut the crap out of himself with a knife. A concerned neighbour – a should be good Samaritan – called the police to save him from his demons. The cops rocked up at Housing Commission flats that he lived in – did live in […]
Dylan Gibbons rode a double at Warwick Farm yesterday, but Zac Lloyd pulled one back to keep the Sydney apprentice title race well and truly alive. Gibbons now sits on 72 wins, 2 ahead of Lloyd with three meetings to go. These kids are so amazingly talented that either of them could home a double […]
Every harness racing fan in Australia is excited about the Eureka, and so they should be too, for with Leap To Fame, Catch A Wave, Captain Ravishing and The Lost Storm lining up against each other head to head over 2400m it’s going to be an absolute cracker, one of the best races we have […]
