Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
In a surprise to most, Harness Racing NSW has -plumped for youth and appointed Glencore mining health and safety manager Peter Buckman as its new CEO to replace the retiring John Dumesny. Not a whole lot is known about Buckman, other than he keeps miners safe and that he was appointed out of the blue […]
Alan Endresz is having a very bad week. First his horse Private Banker – is it rhyming slang? – was subject to an inquiry into it being flicked with a stockwhip by Desleigh Forster. Alligator Al wasn’t there and had nothing to do with it, but has faith in his trainer and believes that if […]
Over the 157 year history of the great Doncaster Handicap there have been a handful of runners that have gone on to have a career racing over the hurdles. Strike The Stars – by Savabeel out of Ambitious – is the most recent one that comes to mind. https://www.racenet.com.au/profiles/horse/strike-the-stars But to the best of my […]
Look at this poor excuse for a Steward’s Report. If the Chief Stipe Chris Albrecht truly believes this, then he is as silly as a wheel. We need a bunker system in racing with a video stewards as ref. And we need it now.
Watch the final 400m of this race side on at normal speed. It is race 1 at Kembla. We are interested in the run of She’s Jessie, the horse in picture at top, in the same colors. Keep your eye on it. This race is fixed to stop it winning. Who do you think did […]

With the Canadian superstar administrator Greg Gangle departing the banks of the Murrumbidgee to take up residence on the Yarra River floodplain, the hot word in the public bar of the International Hotel at Wagga is that the current Chief Steward and local boy Travis Quick is the raging hot fave to jump the table […]
When I first watched the 9th race at Bathurst I was going t0 write a story about the atrocious call, for I would have bet my life that the inside horse had won the race, while the caller firmly believed that the outside had. We were both right, and we were both wrong. It was […]
Dr Adam Cawley is the Science Manager of the Australian Racing Forensic Laboratory (“ARFL”), the drug testing lab owned by Racing NSW that perhaps for reasons of efficiency, or coincidence, or not, lives at the same 51 Druitt Street Sydney address as both it owner, and of the peak gambling body Clubs NSW, which is […]
As we keep saying, you always here it here first. The eyes don’t lie, even if people do. And the trot people of the Riverina rejoice. There will be food back in the drivers room before you can say Ben Johnson, Pride of Canada. The only thing we got wrong was Newcastle. The southerners made […]
