Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
She hails from Snowy River, up by Kosciusko’s side, Where the hills are twice as steep and twice as rough, Where a horse’s hoofs strike firelight from the flint stones every stride, The girls that holds her own is good enough. And the Snowy River riders on the mountains make their home, Where the river […]
This race is hot. Amanda Turnbull trains and drives the favourite Iam The Captain. It’s a good horse, resuming from a spell. The market doesn’t want it. It blows from $2.50 out to $3.70. She hooks it back off the gate into the line, and could sit 1-2 on her brother Nathan’s back. Instead AJ […]

Remember Rake 8 at Townsville 18 months back? The one where someone left a rake in front of the boxes before a race, and it flew in the air and almost caused a catastrophe? Well human error happens even though in an ideal world it wouldn’t. But the rake has nothing on this race at […]
Gloaming. Heroic. Windbag. Phar Lap. Bernborough. Delta. Tulloch. Gunsynd. Kingston Town. Emancipation. Might and Power. Lonhro. Winx. Knights Order. Can spot the odd one out? It’s not very hard. This is a roll call of Chelmsford Stakes winners. It has always been a great race. Until today. This year’s version was a race for first-up […]
Sometimes in this racing life things happen, or – in the case I’m about to talk about, don’t happen – that render you speechless and leave you sitting there thinking if this is it, what’s that? Today was one of those days. 13 days ago the Chris Waller trained Durston raced in a 2000m Group […]
About four months ago we warned you that the Western Australian vego-fascist animal activist and adult entertainment artist Tash Peterson was planning to disrupt the Million Dollar Chase. We were not making it up. It didn’t happen in the end because Peterson couldn’t put together a crew to pull it off, but it was going […]
https://www-harness-org-au.akamaized.net/nsw/PCM27082202.mp4 You will not be able to see this at full speed, I betcha, no matter how many times you try. The NSW Stewards didn’t, or can’t. What I am about to show you is the fine art of cheating in Group 1 races, as practiced by Nathan Jack. Nathan thinks I am an imbecile. […]
Ever since the Menangle track was built there have been an army of critics who claim that it needed/needs a sprint lane. I have never worn that uniform, or fought on that side. It’s a 1400m track. No sprint lane is required, just patience and driving skill. A little bit of Luke McCarthy in front […]
Jack ‘Turbo’ Trainor had runners in the second race at Menangle last night. One was the $1.25 favourite Braeview Kelly, which he drove. The other were the $10 proposition Jeradas Delight driven by Cameron Hart, and the $14 shot BK Swy which was driven by Turbo’s junior driver Jack Brown. Braeview Kelly had raced twice […]
