Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
NSW trot trainer Brendan Flaherty has been disqualified for 2 1/2 years for presenting his filly Gisselle to race with methamphetamine in its system. It is an outrageous penalty. No-one actually dopes their horses with meth, because it is obvious they will throw a positive swab if they do, which means that Gisselle’s positive was […]

Harness Racing Nes South Wales paid correspondent Michael Dumesny wrote the words below that were published on the HRA website on Tuesday. I have never met or dealt with M. Dumesny, and have nothing against him at all. But what he writes in this story is absolute nonsense. For the simple reasons detailed in precis […]
Hi mate, Hope you are well. Sunday at Forbes, Race 7, Nathan Turnbull stablemates try to team drive to the point of desperation. Seven Tee Two comes to the death to pressure the leader, Always Adorned who had upset the plan of Sunset Jay Jay of leading. Turning for home, leader still going well, Seven […]
I am not far from alone in hating Saturday metropolitan meetings being run at provincial tracks, and today’s Hawkesbury card is the perfect example why they shouldn’t be allowed. The Hawkesbury track is officially rated a Good 4, which when a course proper is prepared to proper standards is generally regarded as the ideal surface […]
