Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
A week and a half ago we wrote to the Harness Racing NSW Integrity Manager Michael Prentice about a start at Bathurst, the one in which half the front line missed the jump, but not the two starters trained out of the man in the mobile David Micallef ‘s barn. We asked Mr Prentice to […]
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 […]
What can you say hey? The starter at Bathurst hooked the start of race 2 to advantage his two runners in the race. He backed them both, the winner more than the one that ran second. With the advantage given by his cheating start. If the NSW integrity team don’t act on this one they […]
Do you remember the race at Bathurst that we told you about on Wednesday night? The one in which a whole lot of runners were inconvenienced at the start. How Can This Possibly Be a Fair Start? You know, that race that should have been a false start? This one. The race in which only […]
Simple answer? It can’t be. But the Bathurst stewards last night in race 2 declared that it was. In what world? This was a disgrace. Both participants and punters have been robbed. But who cares about us? No-one it seems. Certainly not the stipes, that’s for sure. https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/nsw/BHC12072304.mp4
The McDowell family through their very successful transport business Allied Express have long been one of NSW harness racing’s most generous sponsors and supporters, and they have had some top class horses over the years too, headed by the brilliant filly of the 80s the Private Dancer, who won 12 from 14 including the Edgar […]
We are now hearing whispers from down south and across the ditch that Mr Bella Button – Kiwi trainer Mark ‘Juice’ Jones – is going to take over Jack Trainor’s barns at Menangle when Turbo takes off to Jersey after the Miracle Mile carnival. In one way it would be apt, for birds 0f a […]
